Philadelphia progressive extreme metal visionaries IATT unveil "Drift Away", the first single from their upcoming full length album Etheric Realms of the Night, out May 8, 2026 on Black Lion Records. Accompanied by a cinematic music video, the track serves as the opening chapter of the album’s overarching narrative and its companion film, guiding listeners into the shifting terrain between waking consciousness and the dream world.
"Drift Away" begins in an unexpected place of calm. Gentle acoustic guitar and expressive flute lines create a sense of weightlessness, capturing the moment when the body relaxes and the mind begins to slip beyond the physical world. This atmosphere gradually expands into a vast and immersive soundscape, where layered instrumentation and evolving dynamics mirror the sensation of drifting deeper into sleep.
As the song unfolds, subtle melodic motifs and ambient textures establish the emotional and thematic foundation for the album. The track introduces the core idea behind Etheric Realms of the Night, the exploration of dream states as both refuge and unknown territory. The arrangement moves with deliberate patience, allowing tension and beauty to coexist as the music transitions from fragile serenity into something more powerful and uncertain.
"Drift Away" features guest appearances from Didier Malherbe of Gong on the flute and Ben Karas of Thank You Scientist/Slaughtersun) on violin
