IATT Release New Album Etheric Realms of the Night Alongside Video For “To Lie Beneath”, Announce East Coast & Canada Tour Dates

May 8, 2026

“To Lie Beneath” embraces discomfort and unquiet. IATT craft a haunting soundscape in this track as they explore the sensation of sleep paralysis, and “To Lie Beneath” sees the band joined by Jerome Burns who provides a dizzying trumpet solo. The thrilling accompanying music video brings to life this song’s themes in line with the overarching concept of the new album. Etheric Realms of the Night is out now via Black Lion Records.

In “To Lie Beneath”, shrill black metal vocals traverse above an immersive, textural instrumental arrangement. The extreme genre influences are placed alongside progressive styles reflecting the tension and disjointed impact of sleep paralysis. Symphonic elements from orchestral instruments entwine throughout the discordant layers. Specifically, IATT’s use of harp alludes to the feeling of being immobilized during sleep paralysis.

Returning to the central theme of Etheric Realms of the Night, the instrumental section in “To Lie Beneath” represents being torn between reality and the dream world. The song’s ethereal piano led outro is joined by a flute accompaniment. Serene yet somber, this conclusion introduces the idea of somniphobia, the fear of falling asleep, which is the focus of the following track on the album. 

IATT’s cinematic music video for “To Lie Beneath” incorporates imagery of entanglement. The narrative’s heroine is tied and bound with rope, and has cloth over her eyes restricting her senses further. Attempting to navigate her way through woodland, under the watchful eyes of cloaked figures, the protagonist is left stumbling while trying to make sense of this warped reality. Enlisting the help of two guides, something hooded and sinister follows close behind. 

Once her sight is restored, the heroine encounters objects, reminders, from ‘reality’ manifesting in this dream realm. The video ends showing her physical form situated firmly in the real world, while her mind ventures in plains elsewhere. 

IATT will be bringing Etheric Realms of the Night to the stage. In support of the new album and full-length film, the band has announced a run of live dates spanning the East Coast and into Canada marking IATT’s first time performing north of the border.

For this run, Etheric Realms of the Night will be performed in its entirety, offering a rare opportunity to experience the full narrative as it was intended live, immersive, and unfolding in real time.

The tour also features a number of special engagements, including the official release event for the band’s “Draft Away” beer collaboration, as well as the red carpet premiere screening of Etheric Realms of the Night – the Complete Album Film.

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.

IATT is: 

  • Jay Briscoe – bass, vocals
  • Joe Cantamessa – lead guitar
  • Alec Pezzano – rhythm guitar, orchestral arrangements
