The Cranberries have unveiled a previously unreleased demo, titled Isoa.
The song was recorded by the band for their debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? - but it never made on to the tracklist.
Released 25 years ago, the group were recently delving back into the archives the chart-topping record's silver anniversary, before the untimely death of singer Dolores O'Roirdan in January.
The band are pressing on with the special release, which contains more rarities, on October 19,ahead of what will be their final studio album next year. "We will do this album and then that will be it," guitarist Noel Hogan recently said in an interview. "There is no need to continue."
Iosa, which translates as Jesus in Irish, is the band's only recording in the language and takes influences from Catholocism and church singing. Listen below:
Since Dolores' death, the band's music has re-entered the Official Irish Albums Chart, with their retrospective Dreams currently inside the Top 20. See the latest Official Irish Albums Chart Top 50.
