Atlanta, GA outfit Irist have officially signed with Nuclear Blast and will have their debut album, “Order Of The Mind“, out via the label on March 27. A music video directed by Mount Emult (Pixies, Dying Fetus) for their new single “Burning Sage” can be found below. Pre-orders for the album itself are available now here.
The band’s vocalist Rodrigo Carvalho had the following to say of this track:
“‘Burning Sage‘s’ frantic rhythmic patterns and ritualistic imagery made our choice to work with Mount Emult rather easy. We wanted to convey this song’s dark atmosphere. Mount Emult’s exciting collage work allowed us to do just that. ‘Burning Sage‘ is about overcoming negative emotions – the process is represented as a ritual in which these emotions are purged. It made sense to use imagery that were a part of different cultures to illustrate how universal this theme is.”
