On April 10th, Nashville's own Inferi will release their new album, Heaven Wept, via The Artisan Era, killing audiences with instrumental excellence spearheaded by speed. The Rapture of Dead Light, the album's first single, is a thrill ride that wastes no time getting into the action of Heaven Wept. Helge C. Balzer's cover is more than a pretty picture at the forefront, but an accurate depiction of this audiovisual warfare.

Inferi comment:

"We’re proud to announce our 2026 release, 'Heaven Wept,' marking the longest gap between albums since our return in 2014.

This album came together under challenging circumstances—after the departure of Mike Low (guitar), we had to completely rewrite material. We then brought Sanjay Kumar (Wormhole / Equipoise) into the fold and the process began anew. With Andrew Kim’s exit to join Brand of Sacrifice, Malcolm stepped in to perform bass duties.

Heaven Wept is also the final album with Spencer Moore (drums) before he moved on to Archspire. We decided to work with Mike Low again for recording, mixing, and mastering. His deep understanding of our approach made him the perfect partner to help us refine our sound with the new lineup.

The result is our most crushing and diverse material yet—an album that pushes INFERI to new extremes while staying true to the melodic and technical foundation we’ve always built upon."
