Philadelphia progressive extreme metal band IATT have unveiled a unique collaboration with Stratosphere Brewing Company, introducing their first official beer, “Draft Away,” a blackberry lager inspired by the opening track, “Drift Away,” from their latest album, Etheric Realms of the Night, released through Black Lion Records.
The “Draft Away” launch event will take place at Stratosphere Brewing Company in Mount Holly, New Jersey, on July 2, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. EDT, with free admission for fans. The evening will offer attendees the chance to meet the band, sample the exclusive blackberry lager (for guests 21 and older), and enjoy an advance screening of the first 20 minutes of the Etheric Realms of the Night film ahead of its official premiere. Exclusive CDs, vinyl editions, and merchandise from the album’s companion collection will also be available.
The band’s ambitious multimedia project continues with the official red-carpet premiere of Etheric Realms of the Night – The Complete Album Film on July 23 at PhilaMOCA. The following day, on July 24, the full film will make its streaming debut on ThunderFlix, giving fans worldwide access to the cinematic companion piece.
Supporting both the album and film, IATT have announced an East Coast and Canadian tour that will see the band perform Etheric Realms of the Night in its entirety. The immersive live presentation is designed to bring the album’s narrative and atmospheric scope directly to the stage and includes the group’s first-ever performances in Canada.

Since forming in 2008, IATT have cultivated a reputation for blending progressive and extreme metal with cinematic storytelling, orchestral arrangements, and philosophical themes. Albums such as Nomenclature and Magnum Opus established the band’s ambitious creative direction, while Etheric Realms of the Night expands that vision through a fully realized multimedia experience spanning music, film, live performance, and now even craft beer.
IATT’s current lineup features Jay Briscoe (bass, vocals), Joe Cantamessa (lead guitar), Alec Pezzano (rhythm guitar, orchestral arrangements), and Paul Cole (percussion).
