Dutch deathcore outfit INFERUM are preparing for a significant shift in their musical approach with their third studio album, "Adversity", set for an independent release on March 5, 2027. Moving away, to some extent, from the technical complexity and sheer brutality that defined their previous work, the album focuses instead on personal experiences, inner conflicts and emotional expression. Alongside the album announcement, the band have also released the official music video for its first single, 'Gemini'.

'Gemini' explores the ongoing struggle with one's own inner critic. Built around insecurity and the resentment that gradually accumulates within, the track offers an initial glimpse into the broader narrative of "Adversity". Across its eight tracks, the album tackles themes of trauma, depression, addiction, inner conflict and an inexplicable sense of longing.

With their new album, INFERUM aim to move away from their customary reliance on musical complexity and brutality, seeking instead to convey their emotions more directly. The band describe this creative shift in their own words:

“We wanted to strip away our tendency for complexity and brutality to better display how we felt. We wanted to lay our souls bare. It’s the next phase for Inferum, where catharsis takes precedence over heaviness.”

While the Eindhoven-based band's previous album, "Musth", revolved around a more abstract and destructive narrative, "Adversity" places personal vulnerability and introspective struggles at its centre. In this respect, the new record signals a new chapter for INFERUM, one in which translating personal experiences into music takes precedence over showcasing technical prowess.

"Adversity" features eight tracks. Alongside 'Gemini', the album's tracklist includes 'Adversary', 'Stuck', 'Self Suffocation', 'Drowning', 'End of the Road', 'Under Oath' and 'Judas'.

Having built their discography with the 2016 EP "Modern Massacre" and the full-length albums "Human Disposal" and "Musth", INFERUM will independently release their new record on March 5, 2027. The current lineup features Morrison de Boer on vocals, Remco Schouten and David Luiten on guitars, Wouter Macaré on drums and Ozzy Voskuilen on bass.
