Irrational Cause is a Helsinki metalcore band founded in 2017, blending metalcore with melodic death metal influences drawn from acts like Architects and Parkway Drive. Their self-released debut album When The Lies Have Taken Control (June 2023) was recorded at the legendary Studio Fredman in Gothenburg and launched at Tuska Open Air that same summer. After a lineup change in 2024, the band has kept releasing new material - singles Torn (2024), Ashes and Empire (both 2025) - pointing toward a second full-length.
The band released the single 'Empire' on November 7, 2025, their most recent studio output.
The single 'Ashes' was released in 2025, continuing the run of new material following the 2024 lineup change.
The band went through a lineup change in 2024, after which they described their sound as a refined mix of heavy riffs and melodic choruses.
The single 'Torn' was released in 2024, the first new material after the debut album.
The debut album When The Lies Have Taken Control was released on June 16, 2023, and the band performed at Tuska Open Air the same month.
