Irist’s New Song is Sure to Set Your Speakers “Surging Ablaze”

MetalSucks | Heavy Metal News, Gossip, Videos and Track Streams | September 2, 2022

With just two weeks remaining before their forthcoming EP Gloria is released to the masses, the South American post-metal band has released a visualizer to go with their new track “Surging Ablaze.”

Complete with fat rhythms, otherworldly guitar melodies, and chugging riffs, “Surging Ablaze” has a sound and style that doesn’t sound too far off from Mastodon’s work. It all sounds airy and almost foreign at times, building to a loud and sudden crescendo that doesn’t stop growing in size and stature. It’s very atmospheric and pulls you in from the get-go.

For vocalist Rodrigo Carvalho, the song represents the struggles everyone goes through when faced with hardship.

“‘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.”

You can either listen to this banger on your streaming service of choice or check out the visualizer below. Either way, the EP will be out on September 16.
