IRIS DIVINE‘s Northeastern US Summer Tour begins this Thursday, as the band prepares to bring the raging anthems from their acclaimed Karma Sown debut album to the stage.
Beginning this Thursday, July 30th, the Washington DC-area’s IRIS DIVINE will embark on the mini-tour which will see the band’s running through Worcester, New York City, Baltimore and will come to a close in Pittsburgh on August 2nd, with support from their friends in MindMaze. Additionally, the modern progressive metal trio will perform in their hometown area with a show in Fairfax, Virginia on September 19th.
IRIS DIVINE’s Karma Sown debut saw release via New Jersey-based Sensory Records in late March, the album met by widespread critical acclaim from all levels of the metal media. Though a mere trio, vocalist/guitarist Navid Rashid, drummer/programmer Kris Combs, and bassist Brian Dobbs unload waves of dynamic, top-tier progressive metal with dark, crunching undertones and intense storylines. The record was produced by the band, 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.
