Inferi Joins Defeated Sanity’s 2026 Spring Tour
Extreme death metal masters Inferi are proud to announce that they will now be joining Defeated Sanity as direct support during the band’s North American spring tour, in which they will be replacing Vulvodynia. The run will feature additional support from New Zealand’s Organectomy on all dates, while Excresence, Scasm, and Horrific Vision will appear on select stops. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are available here.
Defeated Sanity comments, “Unfortunately, due to outside factors, Vulvodynia are no longer able to make this tour. Thankfully, Inferi were able to step up here and replace them on short notice.”
Inferi will be unleashing its latest studio album, Heaven Wept, on April 10, 2026 via The Artisan Era. The band has recently released the pummeling first single, “The Rapture of Dead Light,” along with a music video.
The clip sees Inferi vocalist Stevie Boiser, guitarist/vocalist Malcolm Pugh, guitarist Sanjay Kumar, and new drummer Nate Bigelow embark on an Indiana Jones-style quest for the elusive Bigfoot. Watch the band square off with the battle-jacket wearing and headbanging entity to find out if their intricate riffs are a match for the enigmatic beast here. Heaven Wept can be pre-order and pre-saved here.
Since the explosive success of Inferi’s critically-acclaimed and chart topping 2018 full-length, Revenant, the death metal battalion has continued to relentlessly churn like a raging maelstrom, dominating everything in its wake with the band’s melodic and virtuosic approach to the genre. Heaven Wept picks up where 2021’s Vile Genesis left off, putting forth the same mind-bending compositions and other-worldly musicianship that has set the band apart from their contemporaries. Inferi has risen to become a dominant force among modern American death metal acts since their reunion in 2011. Heaven Wept is a master class in progressive extremity, and is certain to make its mark as one of the greatest death metal offerings of this decade.

About Inferi:
Formed in 2006, Inferi is an American technical melodic death metal band forged from the depths of Nashville, Tennessee. After reforming in 2011, Inferi emerged onto the global stage with The Path of Apotheosis in 2014. Followed by the acclaimed 2018 release Revenant, which landed at #26 Hard Rock albums and #28 on the Billboard’s Heatseekers charts, solidifying them as a household name in the underground technical death metal scene. Touring across the world with bands such Rivers of Nihil, Archspire, Shadow of Intent, Cryptopsy, Signs of the Swarm, Brand of Sacrifice, Deicide and Revocation allowed Inferi to continue on their upward trajectory. Creeping their way up the charts, and into the minds of new fans with The End of an Era: Rebirth in 2019, their Of Sunless Realms EP in 2020, and 2021’s Vile Genesis. Now in 2026 Inferi stands ready to unleash their most devastating album to date, Heaven Wept.
Since the explosive success of Inferi’s critically-acclaimed and chart topping 2018 full-length, Revenant, the death metal battalion has continued to relentlessly churn like a raging maelstrom, dominating everything in its wake with the band’s melodic and virtuosic approach to the genre.
