Irist release new music video for ‘Creation’

IRIST have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Creation, is taken from the Atlanta, Georgia metallers’ upcoming debut album Order of the Mind which is scheduled to be released this Friday, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Although their record release show was cancelled due to COVID-19, the band’s new video for Creation gives fans a taste of their incendiary live performance. Director Dan Almasy beautifully captures the song’s introspective spirit and powerful energy. Creation is an upbeat song on the surface, but it’s also meant to be meditative,” says guitarist Pablo Davila. “I think it somehow conveys a subtle “otherworldliness” that’s not easy to express. Dan Almasy did a great job of interpreting that vibe for us in this music video.”

Digging in further, the lyrical concept of Creation is a profound exercise in self-reflection that peels away at the layers of a contrived identity in search of truth. “We sometimes need to abandon our beliefs to know who we really are, and that’s what Creation is about,” states vocalist Rodrigo Carvalho. “It asks us to connect with ourselves in a deeper way, to learn our identity and to rid ourselves from who others think we are. In sum, Creation’s meditative theme and music make it a truly cathartic song for us.”

Order of the Mind is set for release on March 27th via Nuclear Blast Records.
