Irist Premiere New Song & Lyric Video "Heal" From Upcoming New EP "Gloria"

Atlanta metal quartet Irist will release their new EP “Gloria” digitally on September 16th via Nuclear Blast Records. That five-song effort was mixed by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis). A lyric video for the new advance track “Heal” has premiered online streaming via YouTube for you below.

Explains frontman Rodrigo Carvalho:

“When we wrote ‘Heal‘, I was trying to describe our inability as humans to face reality. My own dealing with pain and loss was what inspired me to write these lyrics. I never know what people may get out of my lyrics, but I hope that it particularly connects with those going through a rough patch in life.”
