History

Guitarist and vocalist Andy Swan was an original member of Final,[1] an experimental electronics outfit from Birmingham, England. Formed as a duo in 1982, Final (originally as Atrocity Exhibition) also featured Justin Broadrick who went on to be a member of Napalm Death and Head of David before forming the highly influential Godflesh. Final were joined on some recordings by Napalm Death founding member[2] Nicholas Bullen, who also went on to form Scorn. After leaving Final in 1985,[3] Swan switched his attention to the dance scene for the next decade[4] before forming Iroha in 2008.

Bassist Diarmuid Dalton was an original member of Cable Regime and also plays bass in Jesu.

Signed to Denovali Records[7] in 2010, Iroha's first release was a split EP with French artist Fragment. entitled "Bittersweet" and was described by The Sleeping Shaman as "a perfectly balanced, heartbreaking, yet life-affirming, piece of modern music".[8]

Iroha's second album, Shepherds & Angels, was released on 7 December 2012 via Denovali Records.
