One of Greece’s most revered contemporary black metal forces, Yoth Iria, has officially signed with Metal Blade Records, marking a significant milestone in their journey. Founded by veterans of the Hellenic extreme metal scene, the band embodies the dark mysticism, grandeur, and spiritual intensity that have long defined Greece’s unique contribution to the genre — while carving out their own distinctive path.
“This new chapter with Metal Blade Records marks not only a huge step forward but also a true milestone in our journey. It is a great honor for us to join the roster of such an iconic label and stand alongside so many legendary bands,” the band comments.
Currently, Yoth Iria are deep in the creative process for their next studio album, slated for release in spring 2026 via Metal Blade Records. Fans can anticipate a monumental and atmospheric continuation of the band’s legacy — a record that promises to push the boundaries of black metal with renewed vigour and uncompromising vision.
Markus “Bart” Grasseck, European Label Manager at Metal Blade Records, adds: “Yoth Iria represent everything that makes the Hellenic black metal tradition so enduring: atmosphere, mysticism, and uncompromising artistic spirit. We are thrilled to welcome them into the Metal Blade family and to help bring their next chapter to the world.”
Before unveiling the new album, Yoth Iria will take their intense live performance across Europe as direct support to Nailed To Obscurity. The tour runs through November and December 2025, bringing the band to stages in: Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and more. This six-week run will showcase Yoth Iria’s raw energy and spiritual ferocity, setting the stage for their next era under Metal Blade Records. Link
