The Glass Iris strives to support new upcoming heavy metal artists. We do this through our annual corporate social responsibility concert, Battle of the Bands. This is where we bring in one of the most haunting heavy metal bands of the time, such as Ghost, and invite ten different, new, up-coming bands to open the show. The openers have the opportunity to play one song. The Glass Iris judges, and members of Ghost, will watch as the bands battle to the death. The deemed winner is bestowed the prized The Glass Iris Award as well as a $5,000 cash prize, provided from the ticket revenue of the concert. Fans buy tickets to watch the concert and have a chance to win a T-shirt signed by each band member of Ghost. This campaign gives larger bands the chance to support new talent. It gives upcoming bands an opportunity to grow their following. And, finally, it gives the heavy metal community the opportunity to see, connect, and enjoy new-found chaos.
