Last Friday US heavy metal outfit SPIRIT ADRIFT released their brand new record “Enlightened In Eternity”. For the music video for “Battle High” they teamed up with video director Dillon Vaughn (https://DillonV.com).
SPIRIT ADRIFT comment about the video and the song: “Despite the fact that we are spread across three different states, we made this video happen and we’re glad we did. We are finally able to showcase the new US lineup, featuring Preston Bryant on guitar and Sonny DeCarlo on bass. Battle High is a song about the human cost of war. This is an anti-war song, and we made a video to reflect that. It’s pretty cliche for metal bands to glorify war, but we wanted to do something more honest and realistic. The stance of this song is more in keeping with the guys who invented metal and wrote songs like Hand of Doom and War Pigs. As always, we’re trying to honor that tradition and carry the torch into the future in our own way. They were living in a world with napalm and agent orange, we’re living in a world with drone bombing, but the sentiment remains the same. Rest assured, the song and video are still metal as fuck. We hope you enjoy it.”

SPIRIT ADRIFT began as an outlet for multi-instrumentalist Nate Garrett, who started the band in 2015 as a studio project encompassing his love for hard rock sensibilities and multiple strains of timeless heavy metal. With the addition of permanent drummer Marcus Bryant, the band started performing live in 2017 and swiftly became a force to be reckoned with. Spirit Adrift refuses to slow down. With ‘Enlightened In Eternity’, Nathan Garrett, alongside drummer Marcus Bryant, has created yet another monument to the timelessness of heavy metal. And while ‘Enlightened…’ builds on the sizable foundation established by previous albums, it also sets itself apart in formidable new ways, widening the scope of what Spirit Adrift can be. What Spirit Adrift have mastered, where others have failed, is the ability to invoke the power of metal’s past, whether it be the 70s, 80s or even the 90s as we hear on ‘Enlightened…’, without ever feeling throwback or ’retro’. Spirit Adrift urgently represent the sonic and emotional zeitgeist of 2020.
SPIRIT ADRIFT are:
Nate Garrett – lead & harmony vocals, guitar, bass
Marcus Bryant – drums
