Portuguese gothic metal veterans INHUMAN are celebrating the release of their much-awaited, new studio album “GLORIÆ”, that is out now on Alma Mater Records! Get your copy HERE

Inspired by the Latin phrase for “of glory,” “GLORIÆ” is INHUMAN‘s most mature and daring album to date. Written during a challenging period for the band and once again produced by Daniel Cardoso, the new work delves deeply into themes of personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and self-discovery.

Lyrically, the album uses the concept of glory – and its absence – as a metaphor for personal struggles and triumphs. The band has also embraced a minimalist visual aesthetic, focusing on the interplay of presence and absence to invite listeners to interpret the subjective nature of glory.

Portuguese gothic metal veterans INHUMAN continue the path towards their highly anticipated new album, “GLORIÆ”, set for release on November 7 via Alma Mater Records, with the launch of their intense second single “To Reign in Captivity”. The album is available for pre-order HERE

Accompanied by a visually striking new music video, the track dives deeper into the thematic core of “GLORIÆ”: personal struggle, resilience, and the duality between glory and defeat. Sonically rich and emotionally charged, the track showcases the band’s signature blend of gothic atmospheres, melodic heaviness, and poetic lyricism.

“We’re thrilled to unveil our brand new video for ‘To Reign in Captivity’, taken from our upcoming album GLORIÆ“, the band shares. “This song reflects on the inner conflict between confinement and transcendence – the struggle to maintain sovereignty over oneself while facing the weight of isolation and despair. It’s one of the most powerful and emotional tracks we’ve ever created, capturing the very essence of GLORIÆ. The stage has been silent for too long. Its absence lingers like a shadow – and we ache to return to the place that keeps our hearts beating. Thank you for walking this path with us. Turn the volume up, dive into the video, and let To Reign in Captivity speak for itself. See you all soon – stronger, louder, and together again.“

“GLORIÆ” will be released worldwide on November 7, 2025, through Alma Mater Records, the independent label founded by Fernando Ribeiro of Moonspell.

Formed in December 1992 in Silves, a historic city in Portugal’s Algarve region, INHUMAN has been a cornerstone of the country’s gothic metal scene for over three decades. From their 1996 debut “Strange Desire” to the seminal 1998 follow-up “Foreshadow”, the band has consistently blended classic influences with a unique musical identity.

Their 2020 album, “CONTRA”, produced by Daniel Cardoso (Anathema, Moonspell, Angelus Apatrida) and released on the label led by Moonspell’s Fernando Ribeiro, marked a significant comeback. The album earned widespread acclaim, re-establishing the band’s status and paving the way for their latest effort.

Inspired by the Latin phrase for “of glory,” “GLORIÆ” is INHUMAN‘s most mature and daring album to date. Written during a challenging period for the band and once again produced by Daniel Cardoso, the new work delves deeply into themes of personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and self-discovery.

Lyrically, the album uses the concept of glory – and its absence – as a metaphor for personal struggles and triumphs. The band has also embraced a minimalist visual aesthetic, focusing on the interplay of presence and absence to invite listeners to interpret the subjective nature of glory.

As INHUMAN explains: “At this stage of our career, we feel the need to strip away unnecessary layers, both visually and conceptually. The focus is clear: the music must speak louder than any image. Our approach with ‘GLORIÆ’ is simple yet bold – let the music be at the heart of our existence.”

“GLORIÆ” is not just an album; it is an artistic manifesto from a band that has stood the test of time, continues to push boundaries, and leaves an indelible mark on the Portuguese metal scene.

Pedro Garcia – Vocals
