INHUMAN - neue Single & Video "To Reign in Captivity"
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: https://almamaterrecords.com/records/-/gloriae-65/
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.
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.
Furthermore, to mark the release of "GLORIÆ", INHUMAN will perform live at the first edition of Alma Mater Nights, a special label-curated event taking place on December 12 at República da Música in Lisbon.
Sharing the stage with labelmates Glasya, who will also present their new album "Fear", the evening promises a celebration of Portuguese metal at its most authentic and powerful. The night will conclude with a special DJ set by FernandoMoon (Moonspell).
