From: Salt Lake City, UT
Sounds like: Hard Rock
Iridia are a Hard Rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah who recently released their follow up single to their 2014 full length album "Cognition". "Cognition" was a monster of an album that drew comparisons to A Perfect Circle and Tool (our review can be read here). A few years later and they're back and better than ever with their "2nd Fret" single and music video. The track starts off with atmospheric tones to help build the dark tone of the track. Once the guitar riff comes in, all bets are off and it builds and builds into an almost Flaw like eruption. The explosion of sound is tremendous! The Hard Rock vocals come in and drives the track to the clean sung/melodic chorus. The live crowd will be singing along to the chant like vocals later in the chorus. The second verse is top notch and has the Hard Rock tendencies for head bangers to love and radio appeal for people to sing along to. The ending of the song blasts the doors off and helps seal the deal on a single that you do not want to miss!
Verdict:
You'll find it extremely tough to stop listening to this new single from Iridia.
