Today, Ghost Iris premiere their new single and video “The Devil’s Plaything”. It’s the last single taken from the 3rd studio album “Apple Of Discord” which will be released on February 22nd, 2019 via Long Branch Records.
The band states:
” ‘Apple of Discord’ is a record we are incredibly proud of – mostly because it’s our most passionate material to date. It reflects the experiences and represents the progress we have made over the last two years, both as a band and as individuals. One might even say that writing this album has been therapeutical for us. Bitterness, deceit, greed and frustration are feelings everyone has experienced one way or another in life, but it´s about how to channel the anger that comes along. And in our opinion, being able to use music to reflect and grow, is one of the most inspiring side effects when being artistically creative and passionate about what we believe in. We hope, you’ll all enjoy ‘Apple of Discord’ just as much as we do.”

Not only is Ghost Iris one of the leading progressive metalcore bands out of Denmark, but also serves as a perfect example for the modern days musical market. Having started as a DIY internet phenomenon in 2015 the band not only managed to build a strong team behind them, but also made their mark in the main metal community in a rather short space of time.
In 2016 the band achieved having the most streamed Danish metal album on Spotify at 1,6 million streams, and at the time of writing their general streams are in excess of 5 million.
