Lexington, KY’s orchestral metal visionaries The Human Tragedy have officially unleashed their highly anticipated new album Upon Waves, The Inferno, now available worldwide. Following the September premiere of their emotionally charged video “Desecrated Grounds,” the band delivers a full-length orchestral metal experience that pushes the boundaries of extreme metal storytelling.

An Album That Confronts Darkness

Upon Waves, The Inferno continues the band’s fearless exploration of human suffering, resilience, and the consequences of neglect and isolation. Tracks like “Desecrated Grounds” tell harrowing stories of pain and despair, but also highlight the importance of compassion, awareness, and connection in the face of tragedy.

In the band’s words:

“We don’t want to glorify violence. We want to confront the reality that too many turn away from. Compassion, conversation, and presence in each other’s lives can be the difference between hope and tragedy.”

A Magnum Opus of Orchestral Metal

Musically, the album blends cinematic orchestrations, crushing riffs, blast beats, and haunting atmospheres, creating 12 tracks of epic storytelling through sound. From blistering intensity to reflective passages, Upon Waves, The Inferno is a full-scale orchestral metal journey that proves The Human Tragedy are at the top of their game.
