Ever since they emerged from Greece’s underground catacombs, Unverkalt have been drawn to the edge. On their upcoming third album, the post-metal luminaries finally plunge into the darkness that’s always waited for them below. While wrestling with the weight of our accursed history, Héréditaire now stands as the band’s heaviest and most heartfelt offering.
Today, Unverkalt are releasing the third and final advanced single from Héréditaire. “Introjects” breaks from the broken beliefs of the past with the band’s newly blackened edge.
“We often carry beliefs and ideas that were never ours but absorbed from the worlds of others”, Unverkalt says. “These dead constructs linger just beneath the surface, quietly shaping us - until something breaks. There’s a moment of dissonance, a crack in the surface, a realization that the weight we carry isn’t ours to bear”.
Watch the bright and blistering video for “Introjects” below.
Héréditaire comes out February 27, 2026 on Season of Mist.

Kalavrezou’s mystifying cleans remain one of Unverkalt’s defining traits. Even when trembling beneath the monolithic riff of “I, The Deceit”, her contempt for those who stand by as the world burns is heated when forged alongside her Athenian brother-in-arms Sakis Tolis from Rotting Christ. But as the album draws to a close, Héréditaire ends shadowed in doubt for the future. “Bathed in lies / Can we make it better” she wonders before disappearing into the shivering wake left by “Maladie de ‘Esprit”.
“This album is not meant to resolve”, the band says, “but to dissolve patterns from those who came before, faceless yet familiar. The colors have drained. What remains is veiled in black, not as a symbol, but as a truth that covers everything”.
On Héréditaire, Unverkalt lift the veil on our cursed existence with their heaviest and most heartfelt offering.
