Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, IAK is making their mark on the metal world with their debut single “EYE(self).” The quartet featuring vocals and guitars by Lynden Segura and Nick Harvey, bass by Derek Stanford, and drums by Austin Wood are creating a dark abyss of distorted guitars, fuzzed out riffs, cracking drums, and gloomy guttural vocals.
On the song Lynden says,
“This song tries to encapsulate the mindset of a narcissist who has had their ego shattered. The feeling of actual vulnerability, insecurity and distress weighing in at an uncontrollable pace. Flooding the mind with the reality of the heart. True fear.”
Lyden says this about fresh starts,
“With the three of us almost hanging it up after our last band split and our new bassist going through a similar situation, it feels reassuring when playing now knowing we made the right decision to move forward. This sound I think is internally how we felt moving on from it and where we are now because of it and we couldn’t be more grateful. I’m looking forward to the future with these guys.”
“EYE(self)” is a gritty exploration of narcissism’s fall.
