Iris is back with a brand-new release for 2008, called “Hydra”. Like the mythological multi-head growing beast, “Hydra” takes the Iris sound and expands it in multiple directions. Hydra features 3 brand new tracks, as well as remixes from bands like Mesh, Alpinestars, Conetik, Datguy, Benz & MD, and Dan Kearley.

On top of that, Iris has bundled this succulent CD with a 30 minute “behind the scenes” tour diary on a special DVD. “Hydra” creates yet another chapter in the constantly evolving Iris story and will be released by Diffusion Records on March 25th.

Also, Iris will also be touring the US for the first time in March 2008. The band will be embarking on a double-headliner tour with their good friends of Seabound! The tour starts March 16 and end on April 1st.

Wonder if they are planning any April Fools tricks…anyway, here is the predicted tracklist for “Hydra”:

Tracklist:

1. New Invaders
2. Stop Breaking Your Own Heart
3. Nobody Wins
4. It Generates (Darker Days Mix V2)

For the following month I will be going in-depth on what makes industrial music tick, clang, and clink every Monday and Thursday. There will be laughing, crying, epiphanies, and perhaps some hate mail. Either way, everyone will be that much more enlightened (and cracking up) when the first month of 2008 is over with.

The added input from the readers of Industrial Addiction.com will add the greatest input to all of it! Through all of this, Industrial Addiction will help not only veteran industrial lovers, but newcomers to the music genre. Also, always remember that if you can’t laugh at yourself, then laugh at the guy next to you and pray he doesn’t beat the crap out of you!

As Always, Here is A Fix.
