Say Goodbye

Northern Virginia-based trio, IRIS DIVINE, has joined The Laser’s Edge family by signing with the label’s progressive metal subdivision, Sensory Records, for the late Spring release of their impending debut album, Karma Sown.

With a brand of emotional, progressive hard rock/metal not quite like anything else out there, IRIS DIVINE is musically rooted in the raw energy and rhythmic interplay of Rush and King's X. Fans of dark, guitar-driven rock bands from Alice In Chains, Deftones to the contemporary metal riffing of Lamb of God and Pantera, will connect to the heavy core of the band’s modern sound. Add to that progressive complexity and moody synths inspired by Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree, and a liberal dose of memorable hooks and melodies, to understand some elements of the band’s sound. And yet, the band has a distinct identity, not quite sounding like any of the aforementioned bands, and with an emotional urgency that pulls subtly from alternative and other influences.

Hailing from just outside of the Washington, DC area, IRIS DIVINE has opened for such acts as Katatonia, Orphaned Land, Fates Warning, and Periphery, channeling its studio output into intense, passionate live performances that balance precision with in-the-moment catharsis. Often called a "musician's band," the band time and again earned the respect of its regional peers, and could well become new faces gaining prominence among the musician community on a wider scale.

Following their previously-released 2011 double EP, Convergence, and a demo in 2013, IRIS DIVINE's glorious debut full-length, Karma Sown, is a triumph of a debut album, immediate and memorable but revealing layers and depth upon repeated listens. The record was produced by IRIS DIVINE, engineered by Drew Mazurek and Farhad Hossain, mixed by Drew Mazurek, and mastered by Brian J. Anthony, and its cover art conceived by Kris Combs and executed by Visual Decay. With the potential to make a connection to a wide range of prog, rock and metal nationally and internationally, the band looks to 2015 and beyond to bring a new and powerful voice to fans around the world.

Sensory Records will release Karma Sown worldwide on CD and digitally on March 31st, 2015.

IRIS DIVINE "The Everlasting Sea"

(AI Generated Metal)

I see the fire, but I do not burn.
I feel the storm, but I do not turn.

This skin—it's paper thin,
This mind—a maze I’m drifting in.
Thoughts race like wolves in snow,
But I am still beneath the flow.

Not the voice that speaks,
Not the thought that peaks.
Beyond the tide that pulls me in—
I am the stillness, I have always been.

I am not this body,
I am not this mind.
I am the witness—
Eternal, undefined!
Silent observer,
Of joy and decay,
Unshaken presence,
That never fades away.

Muscles ache, the mind revolts,
Illusions feed like quiet cults.
But in the quiet, I remain,
The space between each pulse of pain.

Watch the thought… let it pass.
Feel the pain… don’t make it last.
You are the sky, not the storm.
You are the light… formless, unborn.

Tear me down—
I’m not inside!
I am the watcher,
Open-eyed!
Let the world decay and twist,
Still I whisper:
“I am not this.”

I am not this body,
I am not this mind.
I am the witness—
Timelessly aligned.
Beyond the thought, beyond the form,
I am the quiet after the storm.

I see, I know…
I am.
That's all.

I Am Not This
