1.
Where are we now in this silent parade? Sudden Ghost Scarlet Ghost Moving through me. Siren songs Songs of love. Spitting love. Siren Ghost Holy Ghost. Our hearts beat, beat as one. A last pulse. As nothing retreats. Hollow Ghost Walk astray. Staring into hollow eyes. Waves of stone divide us. Emerge. Revolve. Remove. Lost. And now I break loose, from you. Surrender now. Silence, this profound silence. Derelict love, killing caress Stone cold lips, kissing goodbye. And now, now I break loose. From you. Sovereign ghost. Back in exile. Serenity. Slit your throat. Embrace the Sun.

Old Son (free) 06:34
Old son… speak to me. And bury the old dead tree Old son speak to me. Bury these arms Two suns in orbit. The long forgotten shadows. Waiting for the birds. To take away the burden. We faced the ocean. And watched it burn. We smiled and watched it burn.
3.
Holding Time (free) 05:02
For now I will sink down. Shadows dripping on the floor. The one finger salute. Save me. Seal me. Purge me. We built a wall together. The sun will try to break through. A lucid dream, Break the waves. We built this wall together. Breaking the waves. For now I will let go. Let it go. The air waves rolling back in. One giant leap. I hold still. A fierce attempt to escape. Breathe. Breach. Burst. We built this wall together. The sun will try to break through. An everlasting dream, Quick sand heartbeats. Drifting away... And now I rise I lost it once, won’t lose it again. Not again. We, the kids from Nostalgia City. Oblivion is our name. The past lies ahead. All is lost. Please save a sunbeam for us.

about

In 2007 five men gathered in the lower regions of The Netherlands to form Burn the Iris.

Deriving inspiration from a vast variety of great bands such as The Ocean, Isis and Burst,
while at the same time confronting mutual differences, the band initiated the creation of aggressive, catchy grooves of their own.
At the end of 2007 they released their first promo CD, in 2010 the ‘Sovereign’ EP saw daylight.

The press described their first recordings as “Tight as hell, various as a roller-coaster” (Fret) and claiming they “...mercilessly pound with aggression, tempo changes and some truly epic moments” (Terrorizer). With their new material everybody is in for even more heaviness.
