Formed in October of 2013 in Fayetteville, AR, Iron Iris began as four guys with different musical backgrounds jamming heavy music in a basement. Drawing from many musical influences, Iron Iris developed a unique sound and style. Blending fast thrashy riffs with heavy grooves Iron Iris appeals to a wide audience of listeners. The current members are Andrew Flory, Alex Mathews, Brian Bailey, and Chase Chamberlain.

He has a Bachelor's of Music degree with a focus in Classical Guitar Performance from the University of Arkansas.
Alex Mathews: Bass
