"With Blood Dynasty almost here, we thought we'd sneak in another single for you," says founder and guitarist Michael Amott. "'Paper Tiger' is a personal favorite — these riffs are so much fun to play. The accompanying video was shot on a German airfield last summer with our visionary friend Mumpi. Turn it up and let it roar!"

Blood Dynasty delivers 11 brand-new tracks brimming with the band's signature crushing guitar riffs and intense guttural energy.

GHOST IRIS Announce New Album 'Comatose' Out May 7th, 2021 on Long Branch Records Listen to First Single "paper tiger"

February 2, 2021

Danish metalcore four-piece GHOST IRIS have announced their new studio album, 'Comatose', which will see a May 7th, 2021 release via Long Branch Records.

Since the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'Apple of Discord', the band has made a name for themselves with relentless touring throughout Europe, UK, and Japan - sharing the stage with the likes of Dream Theater, Jinjer, After The Burial, and Soen, along with playing renowned festivals such as Copenhell, Rockstadt Extreme Fest, and Euroblast. Winning over new fans every night with their intense and energetic performance, audiences around the world instantly hunger for the band’s return.

Gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated fourth full-length album, Ghost Irisare building upon the sounds they explored on their previous album. Pulverizing instrumentals, bleak lyrics, catchy and hard-hitting - Comatose is no exception to these descriptors; being their most visceral material yet. Comatose is out worldwide on May 7th, 2021.

Ghost Iris about the album title and artwork for Comatose:

"Comatose is a title that represents in a plethora of ways. It’s about the fact that many people are asleep, but even from a coma, one can arise. On the surface, it might seem extremely dark, nihilistic, and bearing of a defeatist attitude, but darkness cannot exist where there’s light. We all exist in the age of enlightenment and even though it seems as if we’re all screwed and the earth is almost destroyed, times will surely change. Arise from the coma, no longer comatose, we fight the demons.

The artwork for Comatose depicts Kali, whose name translates to “she who is death”, as a mere mortal. To serve the title of the album, the majority of mankind are asleep and oblivious as to what is going on around them. Ultimately, we are death. However, there is no darkness without the light - let us all arise from the coma."

Line Up:

Jesper Vicencio Gün - Vocals

Nicklas Grønlund Thomsen - Guitar

Daniel Leszkowicz - Guitar

Sebastian Linnet - Drums

GHOST IRIS recently announced a new tour as special guests for post-hardcore legends in making: SKYWALKER. The tour was originally planned for 2020 but was postponed due to the ongoing pandemic.

Ghost Iris about the new single "paper tiger":

"Life is a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster where the hunters become the hunted and the weak become the strong. In the end, no one cares and our world will dwindle, for time sheds no tear. It's a song that centers around nihilism, misanthropy and the inevitable end. Paper tigers are plenty, but the real tigers are few. Who are you?"

echnically enhanced and melodic guitars, fast-driven, yet groovy drums, and an extraordinarily wide vocal range: from diverse angry growls to striking clean vocals encapsulates the band's signature sound. With the aim to provide listeners with an experience that is as catchy and varied as it is hard-hitting, GHOST IRIS manages to explore diverse moods and atmospheres.

Having toured with the likes of After The Burial, Dream Theater, and Soen, GHOST IRISrecently hit the road in Germany with Ukrainian beasts JINJER on the band's 'social distancing' mini-tour; making them one of the first and only bands to cross borders during Covid-19.
