About IATT:

IATT is a Philadelphia based progressive extreme metal band known for fusing blackened aggression, technical precision, and cinematic atmosphere into immersive, concept driven works. Their sound moves between ferocity and fragility, combining intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and orchestral textures to create music that feels both emotionally intense and narratively expansive.

Since forming in 2008, IATT has steadily evolved into a project defined by scope and ambition. Each release is approached as a complete experience, with recurring musical themes, symbolic instrumentation, and carefully shaped pacing that guide the listener through psychological and philosophical terrain. Their albums often explore themes such as consciousness, identity, and the tension between reality and inner worlds, expressed through layered arrangements that reward deep listening.

Records like Nomenclature and Magnum Opus established IATT as a band unafraid to stretch the boundaries of extreme metal. Jazz influenced phrasing, classical inspired orchestrations, and atmospheric passages exist alongside relentless riffing and commanding vocal performances, giving their music a multidimensional character that resists simple categorization.

A strong visual and conceptual identity also plays a central role in the band’s work. IATT frequently extend their musical narratives into interconnected visual pieces, reinforcing the emotional and symbolic weight of their albums. This unified approach reflects their belief that sound, story, and imagery can combine to create a deeply immersive artistic statement.

With each new chapter, IATT continue refining their balance of brutality, beauty, and narrative depth, standing as one of the more adventurous and forward thinking voices in modern progressive extreme metal.

Philadelphia-based progressive black metal outfit IATT has unveiled a brand new video for the track “Walk Amongst”, taken from their forthcoming full-length album “Etheric Realms of the Night”, set for release on May 8 via Black Lion Records.

As the veil begins to tear, “Walk Amongst” emerges as the penultimate chapter of the band’s album and film – a visceral cinematic experience that merges extreme metal with narrative storytelling into a singular, immersive work.

Marking IATT’s fourth full-length studio album, “Etheric Realms of the Night” is conceived as a cohesive album-length film, with each track serving as a chapter in a larger narrative exploring the subconscious, dreams, sleep, and the fragile threshold between the waking world and what lies beyond the veil.

“Walk Amongst” represents the moment where everything converges. Returning to what appears to be normal life, our heroine begins to sense that reality is no longer anchored – familiar surroundings feel hollow, disconnected, and wrong. The chapter draws heavily on the concept of astral projection: the act of leaving one’s physical body to move freely through the dream realm, and the repercussions of wandering too far into sleep. 

Sonically and visually, “Walk Amongst” carries a sense of inevitability, revealing that the line between worlds has already been crossed. As perception fractures and truth surfaces, it becomes clear that the heroine is not moving freely between realms, but controlled by another force. 

Escalating the film toward its final act, “Walk Amongst” uses atmosphere, pacing, and cinematic restraint to expose the cost of the journey, pulling the viewer deeper into “Etheric Realms of the Night”.

Tracklist:

01. Drift Away
02. To Lie Beneath
03. Somniphobia
04. Pavor Nocturnus
05. Quietus
06. Walk Amongst
07. Hypnos

Philadelphia-based extreme metal outfit IATT has released a brand new single and video for the track “Somnophobia”, taken from their forthcoming full-length album “Etheric Realms of the Night”, set for release on May 8 via Black Lion Records.

Following the recent release “Drift Away”, the band now unveils another glimpse into the haunting world of their upcoming record and accompanying film project. With “Somnophobia”, IATT continue the descent into the shadowy narrative that unfolds throughout “Etheric Realms of the Night”, where each track serves as a chapter within a larger cinematic journey.

As the story progresses, “Somnophobia” delves deeper into the fragile boundary between consciousness and dreams. The song intensifies the atmosphere established earlier, drawing the listener further into a realm where sleep becomes both inevitable and terrifying. Musically and visually, the track expands the album’s dark, immersive universe, blending oppressive soundscapes with striking imagery that further develops the film’s unfolding narrative.

Speaking about the new single, the band comments:

“‘Somniphobia’ embodies the fear of sleep itself; the moment where rest becomes a threat and the dream world is no longer an escape, but a source of dread. As tension and unease mount, this chapter captures the anxiety of resisting sleep while being inexorably pulled toward it. Sonically and visually, the piece is oppressive and disorienting, reflecting the psychological terror of losing control as our heroine begins to slip back and forth between the waking world and the realm of dreams.

Deepening the film’s descent, “Somniphobia” uses atmosphere, pacing, and stark imagery to fracture reality further, pushing the viewer into the unstable bleed between worlds within Etheric Realms of the Night.“

Tracklist:

01. Drift Away
02. To Lie Beneath
03. Somniphobia
04. Pavor Nocturnus
05. Quietus
06. Walk Amongst
07. Hypnos

With “Etheric Realms of the Night”, IATT continues to redefine the landscape of progressive metal, proving once again that their musical vision knows no bounds.

Philadelphia-based extreme metal outfit IATT has announced its upcoming new full-length record, entitled “Etheric Realms of the Night”, set for release on May 8 via Black Lion Records.

With the track “Drift Away”, the band has unleashed a first glimpse of what to expect, inviting listeners to begin their descent into the realm beyond. Serving as the first chapter of IATT’s latest album and ambitious film “Etheric Realms of the Night”, “Drift Away” marks the entry point into a visceral cinematic experience that merges extreme metal and narrative film into a singular, immersive work.

“Etheric Realms of the Night” is IATT’s fourth full-length studio album, realized as a cohesive film, with each track serving as a chapter in a larger story exploring the subconscious, dreams, sleep, and the fragile threshold between the waking world and what lies beyond the veil.

“Drift Away” marks the moment where resistance fades and the dream realm begins to take hold. Moving with deliberate restraint and emotional gravity, the song captures the uneasy calm of falling asleep – where comfort and fear coexist. Sonically and visually, this chapter sets the tone for what follows: introspective, foreboding, and inescapable.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Greek tragedy and mythos, the song sets the stage for the journey ahead, using atmosphere, pacing, and movement to guide the viewer deeper into the world of “Etheric Realms of the Night”. 

Tracklist:

01. Drift Away
02. To Lie Beneath
03. Somniphobia
04. Pavor Nocturnus
05. Quietus
06. Walk Amongst
07. Hypnos

Prepare to immerse yourself in “Etheric Realms of the Night”, where the boundaries of music, storytelling, and the subconscious mind dissolve into a symphony of shadows. IATT continues to redefine the landscape of progressive metal, proving once again that their musical vision knows no bounds.

Philadelphia based extreme metallers IATT have released their brand new album “Magnum Opus“, out today on Black Lion Records. In support of the new album and to celebrate the release in style, IATT have unleashed a brand new visualizer video for the track “Ouroboros”, which features Jørgen Munkeby of Emperor / Shining on saxophone.

IATT comments:

“Round the wheel goes – An inexorable assault over and over again with the album’s second track. A fast paced spin that showcases a dizzying spell cast by Jørgen Munkeby (Emperor / Shining) on sax. Too many twists and turns to truly grasp on first take, we recommend setting Ouroboros on loop.”

Meticulously crafted to pick up thematically where its predecessor left off, on “Magnum Opus” the listener is catapulted from the 1700s (Arsenic Ways) further back in time to a much darker, older world and the esoteric sciences of Alchemy. It was in this time man aimed to harness the world around him, bending the natural elements in a quest to obtain power, knowledge, control, and even immortality itself. Alchemy was the key to unlocking the secrets of existence and elevating one’s self to the pinnacle of enlightenment through transmutation and manipulation of the earthly elements. It was only through the process of Magnum Opus (the great work) that alchemists could harness the elementals in their purest form to create the Philosopher’s Stone – the key to power, enlightenment, and immortality.

Just as in alchemy itself, creating this album has been a journey of transformation; a period of great growth as individuals and as a unit. It’s through adversity, struggles, and the forging of the elements – of literal blood, sweat, and tears – IATT strive to transcend and elevate to their highest self, “the great work”, “Magnum Opus“.

“Magnum Opus” was produced by Joe Cantamessa and got mixed and mastered by Marcos Cerutti. Stunning cover artwork by Nightjar art of Adam Burke. Furthermore, the album features guest performances by musicians from UADA, RIVERS OF NIHIL, EMPEROR, WINDFAERER + more.

The album is available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

Tracklist:

1. SERVITUDE SUBJUGATE
2. OUROBOROS
3. PRIMA MATERIA
4. ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY
5. EXCULPATE EXONERATE
6. DEMIURGOS (ARCHITECT OF DISASTER)
7. PLANES OF OUR EXISTENCE
8. SEVEN WANDERING STARS
9. CHRYSOPOEIA (BONUS TRACK FOR CD)

Philadelphia based extreme metallers IATT are gearing up for the release of the band’s highly anticipated new album “Magnum Opus“, which will be coming out on May 27 via Black Lion Records. After the previously- released singles “Seven Wandering Stars” and “Elixir of Immortality“, today IATT have unleashed a brand new music video for the track “Prima Materia”, which features Zach Strouse (Burial In The Sky / Rivers Of Nihil) on saxophone.

IATT comments:

“Following a different route, Prima Materia carries the listener on an epic voyage and showcases IATT’s more progressive side. While classically aggressive and grandiose, this track’s twists and turns pull at one’s emotions and pump adrenaline through the veins.“
