AS WE STRAY Join Wanikiya Records for Project: IRIS

Wanikiya Record is thrilled to officially welcome As We Stray into the label’s family, one of the most active and dynamic realities in the European rock and metal scene!

This new collaboration is set to make a mark, starting with support for Project: IRIS, the ambitious artistic and musical journey of the Turin-based band. Since May 9, 2025, they’ve been capturing the attention of both the public and critics with a consistent and strategic release plan, scheduled to conclude in February 2026.

PROJECT: IRIS
The project kicked off with the release of the first single “BRØKEN BØNES”, which quickly reached over 50,000 listeners, followed soon after by “THE REMEDY”.
Two tracks that fully define the signature sound of AS WE STRAY:
🔹 A modern, powerful, razor-sharp sound
🔹 Strong deathcore roots with contemporary metalcore influences
🔹 A refined and cinematic visual approach
🔹 Deep lyrics and existential themes

Project: IRIS will feature the release of new singles through February 2026, with the goal of drawing more and more fans into a consistent, emotional, and musically devastating journey.

SOLD OUT SHOWS & INTERNATIONAL GIGS
Alongside the digital releases, AS WE STRAY continue to set the stage on fire:
✅ Sold out show in their hometown, Turin
✅ Upcoming shows with Crystal Lake in Milan
✅ Performance at the “We Are Deathcore” festival in Turin
✅ A live history shared with giants like Meshuggah, Jinjer, Soilwork, Nergal, and many more!

Their live path grows more ambitious, with the aim of bringing their explosive show on a constant tour in the coming months and reaching an ever-growing international fanbase.

🔹 National and international promotion
