MIRE is a metal band formed in 2017 by guitarists Ryan Glisan, Nick Hipa, and vocalist Benton McKibben. Known in part through their former endeavors, Hipa (As I Lay Dying/Wovenwar) and Glisan (Allegaeon/Pyrithion) set out to create a stylistically unrestrained endeavor based on a mutual admiration for riff based songwriting. Together with McKibben, MIRE combines creativity and technicality with an emotive focus at its core.
