WINTERFYLLETH have announced a brand new album!

The UK’s black metal legends will return this spring with their ninth full‑length, The Unyielding Season, set for release on March 27th via their new home at Napalm Records. The album marks the band’s first offering for their new label and follows 2024’s The Imperious Horizon, shifting from that record’s distant, ominous threat to a full eruption — a raging wildfire of rebellion, reflection, and resistance.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “2026 marks a year of big changes for WINTERFYLLETH! A new label, a new member, a new album, and the landmark of 20 years making music together. We are enthused by what this new chapter will bring, and as a result, we are now able to share our ninth album, The Unyielding Season, with the world. It is also a powerful and virulent first output, through which we seal our new collaboration with Napalm Records.

In many ways, the new album is a reflection on – and a rebellion against – the turmoil’s and fears that are tearing the lives of many individuals apart. It is a cry against the unsustainable & constant weight of malevolence and pressure being pushed into the world by agents of an un-resting and unyielding force for evil. We hope the album resonates with you, stirs your soul, and gives you a source for hope. But, we also hope it makes you ask questions of your own circumstances and gives you pause to consider the unnerving state of the world we all share.”

Arriving alongside the announcement is the album’s first single, Heroes of a Hundred Fields. The track offers the earliest glimpse into the album’s fiery, defiant spirit.

Speaking about the song, the band explains, “Heroes of a Hundred Fields is framed in a wartime, battlefield setting and uses the premise of soldiers coming together, united as brothers, to fight against a foe who are powerful, oppressive, and domineering. It talks about how people should come together and fight for the freedoms they have and not succumb to those who would attack them and try to weaken them (or take them away entirely). There have been so many ideas and schemes pushed into the world over the last few years that only serve to erode people’s personal freedoms, slowly, little-by-little, until they are gone. This song talks about ‘lighting the beacons of rebellion’ against those who would seek to undermine the way of life and freedom that we all – hopefully – hold dear.”
