Spirit Adrift sustain their prolific output with last Friday’s release of Enlightened In Eternity, and now with a music video for the album’s standout single “Battle High.” Filmed and directed earlier this year by Dillon Vaughn, the video unveils Spirit Adrift’s U.S. lineup featuring Preston Bryant on guitar and Sonny DeCarlo on bass (alongside guitarist/vocalist Nate Garrett and drummer Marcus Bryant). The “Battle High” showpiece highlights not only Spirit Adrift’s penchant for live performance, but also their lyrical prowess that succinctly denounces the human cost of war.

Whether it’s their ever-expanding catalog of incredible records and songs or their searing live performances, the dominance of Spirit Adrift upon the current heavy metal landscape is now undeniable. And while Enlightened In Eternity already marks the band’s fourth album, Spirit Adrift have only just begun.
What the press is saying about Enlightened In Eternity:
“Owning a dramatic and expansive heavy metal sound, Spirit Adrift’s fourth full-length gallops through a philosophically epic song set focused on metaphysical awakenings and untapped personal power.” – Austin Chronicle
“a cavalry charge of riffs and glory” – Decibel Magazine
“Blistering guitar solos, vocals that bleed attitude, and songs that make you feel as if you’re on quest toward triumphant victory, the band sits very inline with their 1980’s era metal godfathers.” – Forbes
“This is a classic metal inspired album that utilizes Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Thin Lizzy trademarks yet sounds unlike any of them. At its core this is riffs on riffs on riffs on riffs, and it is a great time.” – Metal Injection
“the best metal album of the year” – Metal Sucks
“The record is as much a powerful tribute to the classic heavy metal of the early ‘80s as it is a nod to the Arkansas scene… this is probably the album of the year.” – The Pit
“Their ass-kicking modern take on classic heavy metal is packed with killer guitar harmonies, galloping riffery and epic sing-along choruses straight outta the Eighties. There’s shades of Ozzy, Maiden, Mastodon and more.” – Revolver Magazine
“‘an energizing and moving experience, Spirit Adrift’s best album to date and one of the most exhilarating records of the year” – Treble
