Washington DC based modern progressive metallers Iris Divine is streaming their debut full length Karma Sown in its entirety here. The album was produced by the band, engineered by Drew Mazurek and Farhad Hossain, mixed by Mazurek, and mastered by Brian J. Anthony, and the cover art was done by Kris Combs and executed by Visual Decay. It is out March 31, 2015 via Sensory Records.
Over recent years, the Washington DC-area act has amassed a diehard following through regional live performances, but on their first full-length release, Karma Sown, Iris Divine dives headfirst into the international scene through an incredibly layered and expansive recording. Though a mere trio, the band unleashes waves of dynamic, top-tier progressive metal with dark, crunching undertones and intense storylines which unify the entire Karma Sown album, all the way through the cover art concept and overall delivery. Embodied by vocalist/guitarist Navid Rashid, drummer/programmer Kris Combs and bassist Brian Dobbs, 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.

Greek melodic metallers Jaded Star has divulged new details about their debut album Memories From The Future, out April 14th in North America and April 24th in Europe –via Sensory Records, a division of The Laser’s Edge.
Formed in 2013, Jaded Star was founded by vocalist Maxi Nil (ex-Visions of Atlantis) and drummer Raphael Saini (ex-Iced Earth), who recruited guitarist Kosta Vreto (Horizon’s End, Wardrum) and bassist Babis Nikou (Astral DNA, Opened Paradise, Dia Mageias) to complete the lineup. The quartet instantly amassed a vast array of new material and began touring across Europe.
With over forty-five minutes of Jaded Star’s energetic forward-thinking melodic heavy metal, Memories From The Future was produced by vocalist Maxi Nil (ex-Visions Of Atlantis), mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordstrom at the legendary Fredman Studios in Sweden (Arch Enemy, At the Gates, Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, Opeth, etc.), and features ten brand new epic anthems. The album showcases Maxi’s electrifying vocals and the masterful drum work Saini is known for. Guitar hero Kosta Vreto, with his unique finger strumming style, eschews the plectrum in favor of a raw, organic sound that literally comes straight through his hands. Babis Nikou on the bass brings a solid foundation and the chemistry between he and Maxi as the songwriting team provides emotion to match the power of the sound. The cover artwork for Memories From The Future was created by Lila Belivanaki.
