Incarnation

Standing at the precipice of a new era, Australian metalcore titans In Hearts Wake explore bold new sonic dynamics, embracing more shades of darkness and heaviness than before on their powerful sixth studio record, Incarnation.

But this isn't an album that is heavy purely for heavy's sake. Incarnation is an ambitious freefall into a new soundscape for In Hearts Wake, as they navigate their way through the shadow world, finding the light within and emerging bolstered; more empowered than before.

Their previous release Kaliyuga (2020) landed #3 on the Aria Charts and was highly praised by fans and press alike with KERRANG! Stating "In Hearts Wake have delivered an LP with the substance and accessibility to touch the widest possible audience - and the quality to cement their place at the top table of Aussie metalcore." & UPSET saying "Like being shaken awake, there is a sense of immediacy and urgency that goes far beyond that of a band releasing a new record. The stakes on this one are sky-high".

Thematically, Incarnation is considered as the inverse of the seminal In Hearts Wake album Divination - returning to the concept of each song being focused on a particular Major Arcana Tarot card, Incarnation is the concept flipped upside down. Each song explores the underbelly; an album standing diametrically opposite to Divination in sound, and theme.
