IRIS - Heart Of An Artist Resurrection (Full Album) Live Premiere!

[@ASH4Ix]

Let’s be honest, the Castle That Burns/Castle That Never Dies duo caught EVERYONE off guard in the best way possible

[@Stars.Are.Cool.1111]

I ACTUALLY THEORIZED THAT WE'D GET A NEW SONG WHEN HE DIDNT PUT THE ALBUM CLOSER IN THE PREVIEW, I JUST CANT BELIEVE I WAS RIGHT

[@Elytrii]

I WAS SO SHOCKED AND I LOVED IT

[@flattheraccoon6463]

Didn't expect that, but yeah, that was awesome

[@dremoder3296]

I immediately screenshotted and told my friend when Castle That Burns came up lol, although personally I didn’t like the changed to Castle That Never Dies, the original was one of my favourites from the album due to the symbolism and how relatable it could be

[@austinbutagain]

Yes, it did.

Some people don't realize how much these songs encouraged people to stand up to their problems, Draw The Line and Heart of an Artist helped me deal with some bully problems back in middle school, thank you so much Will

[@TheNickofTime]

With all the extra layers and new embellishments that are crammed into these remasters, it’s amazing how still don’t sound muddy or cluttered. I’m impressed by just how much more sound can be squeezed into these songs, especially when they already sounded perfectly full the first time. That has to be a very fine balancing act to pull off so well. It sounds more like a cohesive whole than the original album did as well, it’s like the IRIS style that he refined later is being retrofitted onto its own progenitor. I think it works! It comes at the slight cost of this new version feeling slightly less personal and vulnerable and more like a fiction story being told to you, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just a slightly different feel. What an experience that was. The best way I can describe it is like this album was a child, that’s now all grown up!

[@leocrashplay]

*I thought "after Too Dangerous there will be The castle that Never dies"... And then I start listening to what is apparently the prequel to this song..... I got such a surprise that I loved it*

[@kh-productions-channel]

This album carried me through college and showed me a whole new side to music. And now all this time later so much has progressed. Me, you, Will, IRIS. Who would have thought Heart of an Artist would lead to all of this. We are so immensely proud of you Will. This is truly going to be the best album I've ever experienced. Let us descend again

[@MWNTI_Studios]

I love your channel.

[@8bitmonkey319]

I found Iris through dagames, which i think a lot of us did, all the way back when build our machine came out, I was like 13 or 14, and I've listened ever since, these songs were literally the building blocks of the music I enjoy nowadays since they've been with me so long, so to see Will come this far, it makes me happy

[@LnmHive]

WE MAKING OUT OF THE ENCRYPT WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥

[@BloodIron]

Man, I was 17 when the original album came out. I’m now 24 and I’m glad I got to experience something that really stuck with me throughout the hardest years of my life. I’m so excited for this and I already know it’s going to be on repeat forever. I just want to say thank you for everything you do Will you are such an amazing and inspiration to all. Keep up the great work my man. I’ll always be a fan for life.

[@EdibleBacon]

I just about turned 14 when the album came out. Just a young dude going through high school, with it so far being some of the toughest years for me. Now I'm 19, just entering college and I feel the same way. I've been a big DAGames fan even before the album, but this really helped cheer me up when I needed it the most. Every song, every lyric, just resonated with me. I still have a lot of years left to go, many things yet to learn, but for these past 5 years, just thank you Will.

[@ac1dicscytheva346]

Been here since 2017, watched this album premiere in 2018, and watched IRIS grow. Glad to see this album improve. We made it.

WE ARE GOING BACK INTO THE DEPTHS WITH THIS ONE

I was in 8th grade listening to heart of an artists album. Got me into playing guitar, learning music, and got me through hard times. I’m now in my second year of college and seeing this remake is beyond exciting for me and many others. Can’t wait to descend once again ❤

Words can't describe how much I love this album. My favorite part about it is how relatable it all is. We all go through out own IRIS, whether it be because of other people or maybe even our own demons. But no matter what, every time we descend, we will always find a way to ascend once more. This album has helped me through alot of dark times, and I'm a so exited to descend again. 💜

[@vmt3k]

Disclaimer: This is a review comment made after watching the premiere, all of my opinions are subjective and can change with time. You may have your different opinions and that's absolutely fine. Woah, what a journey this was! After 4 years, Heart of an Artist: Resurrection is released to the world at last. The wait was sure worth it. The original album was my most favorite piece of music Will has made, I saw it as a true masterpiece, the magnum opus, the best of the best! And now this remake is here to give our beloved songs a new rendition to see how far we've come. I would like to share my thoughts of this album remake and go in detail about each one. 1. S.O.S + Descending - 1:10 Pretty great song to start off! This song was one that was a necessity to get right, because it's somewhat the "main theme" of the album, along with its title track. Great vocals, guitar riffs are quite enjoyable, bass is kind of hidden but still noticeable, synths compliment the song nicely. Pretty nice overall! 2. Draw the Line - 5:34 I'll be honest, I didn't like this remake when it first came out in November. It feels too overproduced. There's barely a bass in the song to listen to, too many synths throughout the song, guitars are still a bit enjoyable, vocals feel a bit off in some parts but the rest is alright. I do like the bridge though, the lead guitars were pretty much nailed there. I enjoy the original more, but I still respect this remake for what it is. It's more brutal and off the rails than the original. 3. As the Lights Go Out - 9:23 Oh dear, this is one of the most emotional and intimate songs Will has ever wrote. The original was a very personal and intimate song between the artist and the audience. Just Will and a piano, and it was beautiful. But this remake goes beyond that, now it has a more orchestral, epic adventure style. There are more harmonies, violins, percussion, synths, everything slowly increases throughout the song until it reaches the final chorus! Overall is a nice new rendition of the song, very epic and adventurous! 4. Kings & Queens - 14:34 Now we're back to rock/metal, and this one f***ing slaps! (censor because KZbin might delete the comment) Quite faithful to the original, and the synths compliment the song giving it a more modern style that dances hand in hand with the OG marching rhythm. The lyric change from "stallion on a horse" to "warrior on a horse" was GENIUS! The bridge overall is quite a pleasure to listen to. Overall: Guitars are amazing, bass is listenable and pretty nice, vocals are astounding and the synths compliment the marching rhythm very well! I always enjoyed this song in the original, and this remake escalated it to the next level! One of my favorite songs of the album! Absolutely fantastic! 5. Why Do We Hold - 18:23 The very first single of this album to be released, all the way at the end of March. Strangely it doesn't seem to have synths, but the violins and choir make sure to carry the song and fly it to above and beyond! Guitars are as epic and astounding as they can be, specially in that bridge! OOOH BABY, THE BRIDGE! A very epic and amazing song to have in the album! Really nice! 6. Lost Now Found - 22:53 When you hear that bass at the very beginning, you know it's going down... Oooh boi, this one feels quite different, in the best way possible! Now that we have the official lyrics, we come to realize this song is more personal and "couple-like" than we thought. The rundown of the original album teased this, and this leaves it as clear as a glass of water! Beautiful song, the chorus is masterfully composed, both music and lyrics! Guitars are given more time to shine, and they shine very bright! Synths still compliment the song well! Quite fantastic! One of my favorites! 7. Too Dangerous - 27:09 This version feels more heavy and menacing, such an absolute bop! Not much to say though, but not in bad way! Vocals are great, guitars are splendid and synths compliment the song very well! Loved this song in the original, still love it here! Really great! 8. Castle That Burns - 30:58 THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE SURPRISE! The heaviest song in the album for sure! Since it's an original song from this album, synths feel much more natural. Not that the synths before were bad, but here they're mixed in the core of the song from the start. After binge watching the story videos, I understand what this song adds to the story now, and it's quite interesting. Overall, the melodies are quite a delight to listen to! An amazing addition to the album! 9. Castle That Never Dies - 35:18 Now that "Castle That Burns" exists, this song instead of narrating a story, is now an interlude that feels more like an instrumental choir preparing you for the last dishes. It's still enjoyable and a nice deserved break to move on to the final songs! (Also, that "Bind the Bible" riff in the middle, no matter if it was on purpose or not, it was a beauty to hear.) 10. You're Just Making Us Stronger - 37:56 I always loved this song in the original album, I thought it was an underrated gem. And this new rendition makes it shine like a diamond! Vocals are amazing to hear, synths go hand in hand with the heavy and astounding guitars! Probably my most favorite song of the album! Absolutely fantastic! 11. Heart of an Artist - 41:56 And at last, we arrive to the title track. The song that started it all... Absolutely amazing. Synths merge with the guitars and drums so well, vocals are strong and astounding. The song feels slower but bigger, and in the best way! Overall, this song was always a beautifully composed piece in the deepest layer from the heart of the artist "Will Ryan". One of the best songs in the album. Absolutely marvelous. 12. Ascending - 46:56 And we finish with this outro, with the melodies of S.O.S. As a way to close the circle and finally ascend from the darkness into the light. In conclusion... THIS ALBUM IS STRAIGHT UP FIRE! It very much feels like the definitive version of the album! Although... I still love the original album so much. The songs were beautifully written and were great in execution. Overall, it feels slightly more balanced because it doesn't have to juggle with so many instruments and other stuff at once. This album remake is still amazing though, I love how it turned out! The new synths are really great, the new sound is astounding, we even got a completely new song! But it also feels too big, too epic, too off the rails. And that's okay, I still love this resurrected version of the album! Maybe in the future, I'll enjoy this remake even more than the original. But only time will tell. And those are my thoughts on this album, I enjoyed the experience and I can't wait to listen to both versions whenever I can. I certainly can't wait for the deluxe edition and physical release either! See y'all in the next one, take care! - VicenteMT3K

Only on Too Dangerous on my watch & HOLY FUCK THE UPGRADES ARE INSANE! Love finally hearing one of my favorite albums from my high school era remade. Edit: HOLY SHIT NEW SONG WHAT

[@SteveyBobJoe101]

The high notes in this ALBUM are insane...there are some pretty low notes too, and I gotta say this is pretty impressive! I look forward to seeing your range grow farther and farther!! Most importantly though...WE GOT THE RETURN OF THE STREISAND EFFECT SCREAM BABY!! (edit: 34:00 and 35:06 for anyone wanting to find it) Now for the big vent, I was so young when HOAA (the song) released, I was in 6th grade I believe. It was my 1st introduction to metal from what I can remember because not many songs I heard from Will back then were metal (I got in with Left Behind). When I heard the song, I was hooked onto metal. I followed along ever since and I'm so happy I did, your growth has been nothing short of spectacular! It's been a journey, and the honor to descend once again is amazing. Mentioned all the songs on this album to my dad and had him pick one to hear (because time), he chose As the Lights Go Out and he loved it.

[@StremeCrack14]

I honestly don't know what else to say but I did cry once again on this album, it's honestly the best thing to end the year with, I didn't know that Castle That Burns was going to make a new track, and it's the best thing I've heard, and everyone else I can tell you this, it is incredible, thank you Will for giving this gift to all of us, thank you for allowing me and allowing us all to descend, and for the entire IRIS community. Let's hope for more IRIS in the future. 😊❤

[@DoctorVoni]

So. Friggen. Good. The song Heart Of An Artist has always been a personal "Keep going!" sort of song, but now it feels so much stronger, and renewed with this, I will listen over and over BECAUSE IT'S THAT GOOODD!

[@The_Ninth_]

I just found this album and during The Castle that Burns, I actually had to stop what I was doing and go back and relisten to it. Love this album

[@gamerfamer6893]

This album helped me so much. I was going through a lot of depressive episodes and this album snapped me out of it. For that I’ll always be grateful

[@irrelevantbard]

I remember when the first Heart of an Artist album came out. May, 2018. I had just got out of 8th grade and listened to the album to vent about the many cringe things I did. To include never talking to my crush more. Goliaths throne and and the other album the name I forget right now helped me get through high school. Now today with this is a beautiful callback and resurrection of all the good times. I think I've changed quite a lot in the past 5 and a half years or so. Hell, I'm a working adult now. Your music has made a significant impact on me. Thank you, will. Keep being badass and rock on!

[@neo-g-essent]

I was here during the watchparty. You've already heard my words. I'm grateful to be here. Blessed be the Eye of the Beholder.

[@zephyrvioletgarden]

I was 12 when i got into Will's music, so seeing that the first album i ever got into is getting a remake is heartwarming. Helped me through a lot of stuff as well. So excited! ❤

[@thesanspl20]

This is something absolutely amazing to me, almost a dream come true. "Hearth of an Artist" is a song that is very dear to me. It really helped me with depression when I was younger, and to this day I can't thank Will enough for making it. And now, when harder times hit me again, here it is. "Heart Of An Artist Resurrection". With a masterpiece like this a therapy will never be needed. Thank you so much Will for creating such an amazing content. I'll be always waiting for new songs. Take care

[@jinxofalltrades]

i could spend a while praising each individual song and their respective lyric videos. instead, i'm just going to say this, and give praise to the whole album: WOAH. Will, you should be SO proud of yourself-- this album originally came out... what? 5? 7 years ago? and you've come SO FAR since then. your sound has evolved, you've evolved as a person, and what your music's all about really shines in this absolute BANGER of a revamp album. i found your music a good bit ago, and it helped propel me through one of the darkest times in my life. you are an inspiration to me, and likely many others, and it overjoys me to know that you continue to stay true to your journey, no matter what shadows come over you. be proud of your music. proud of yourself. i'm grateful to have been there when it dropped, and i will continue to listen for years to come. great job, and thank you for everything. :))

Glad to see you're still putting out some killer music! Keep it going Will!

[@StarMan881Gaming]

Heart of an Artist came out about 2-3 months before I started college and it really helped me through college. College was absolutely hell for me, got to the point where I was having some very bad thoughts but almost everyday I was listening to all the IRIS albums as they released and every topic HOAA specifically touched was relatable. I honestly don’t think I would be here today if I never found HOAA and IRIS. Now, I left college back in June this year and Heart of an Artist Resurection releases and it really acted as a reflection on how far I’ve come in life and of course how far Will has also come. Let’s see what HOAA:R will help us all through in this next chapter of life! Will, if you are reading this, please know that you truly have the heart of an artist!

HOAA, GT, and DOTD all have been the biggest part of this as their not ingrained in a pre-existing thing, at 15 i started listening to your work, im 21 now an while im nowhere near making any of my projects into reality, im still driven to complete my cycle some day. So ill keep Descending for that inspiration even if ive heard it a million times, After all Good stories are worth repeating. :'3

The original carried me through high school and really introduced me to metal as a genre. It's surreal to listen to this and feel how much the music, and I, have changed. The Heart of an Artist track hit me so hard, with the og being the oldest by far. Just a wave of nostalgia and hype. Thank you for everything and I can't wait for the future of IRIS!

[@deathring7339]

There are so many things about this album that I loved, and every single thing just got better with resurrection. This album is so important to me. We’re all appreciative of this, and I’m just glad this finally happened. It was well with the wait. Thank you, DAGames. Thank you, Iris. Thank you, Will. #IrisForever

I just wanna say... I was in middle school when the original came out. I was in a pretty bad place mentally and... well, Heart of an Artist was there to help me out through that. Not only that, but Iris as a whole helped discover more about my taste in music than ever before. Iris has inspired me in so many ways personally, creatively, mentally - you name it. I have no idea where I would be without it, and I'm absolutely more than honored to have grown up alongside this project of yours. This album was nothing short of fantastic - FAR exceeding the original in damn near every conceivable way in my opinion. To say you've outdone yourself is an understatement. Thank you for 6 years of Iris, Will. Thank you for everything. Here's to 6 more years, and many more even after that. If I could show 13 year old me where I am now, and that we finally got to witness this album... well, he'd probably explode LMAO. Absolutely worth the wait, and I'll wait as long as I need to for any other projects you have in store.

Absolutely fantastic! Super surprised by the inclusion of Castle that burns, that was unexpected, but absolutely awesome!

[@kai_darthblood4361]

This album has helped me through so much, man. I am happy that we have resurrection

[@Orion-b5f]

I love that a piece of Bind the Bible was reused for Castle that Never Dies

[@hypersonic9394]

This album is even better than the original album. I’m a huge fan of IRIS and seeing HOAA getting remade is really cool to see. I’m going through a hard time right now, but this album will get me through it!

[@ChristopherCollins-v1o]

Castle that burns was so good! I didn’t even see it coming until the fade out from Why Do We Hold. This album is amazing.

[@CraftedBrother05]

Probably one of the best albums I've heard, everything feels perfect And I still need to recover from Castle That Burns

[@theopkitten7965]

I was in middle school when this album originally came out and it's what really got me into the genre of music. It gave me a feeling that I could connect to and an outlet for the rage I had when I felt no one would understand. Being a musician at heart, Heart of an Artist spoke to me on a level that nothing ever had. Hearing it's new evolution is such a treat. It's amazing to see how far Will has come and how far the music itself has come. I'm just blessed that I get to hear an old favorite in a new way.

[@CyberShadow66672]

Thank you will for this! I’m loving being apart of the IRIS Community
