Ghost Iris – ‘Comatose’

Denmark isn’t the first country that comes to mind when you think of metal, but it’s produced its fair share of talent over the years. Legendary acts like Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Volbeat, Mnemic, and more recently bands like the stunning Møl and the crushingly heavy Cabal –
