Irist, the South American post-metal quintet that now calls Atlanta, GA home, debuted a new single called “Surging Ablaze” from their upcoming new EP Gloria. The EP is set to release through Nuclear Blast on September 16th.
Rodrigo Carvalho, the band’s vocalist, offered the following comments on the track:
“‘Surging Ablaze; is a song about the contemplative journey, and meditative states, one experiences when getting to the other side of a difficult situation. On top of a beautiful lead for the chorus, Pablo wrote an insanely heavy riff towards the end of the song that definitely sticks to you. This is a rhythmically more measured song for us, and the fact that we were able to add some lyrics in Portuguese makes it even more unique.”
