Infected Dead release new single ‘In Spaces Beyond‘ and announce forthcoming EP | FFO: Obscura, Job For A Cowboy.
“The lead single from our EP Invicta is inspired by HP Lovecraft’s ‘Dreams in The Witch House‘ and recurring brain crushing bouts of insomnia. When the mind is weak from lack of sleep it is vulnerable to sinister forces, and once the walls of your reality are breached, nothing but madness awaits” – Infected Dead
Alongside the new single, the band has also announced their forthcoming EP ‘Invicta‘, set for release on May 1st.
More than the sum of their parts and born again through perseverance, grit and cosmic horror, Kent’s INFECTED DEAD marks their arrival into 2026 as a newly fine-tuned and reincarnated beast.
Having regrouped with a new line-up in 2024, the five-piece technical death metal band boasts alumni from the likes of Pupil Slicer, Dawnwalker and Overthrow. Gelling as a unit on stages throughout their home country of the UK, which includes previous touring alongside Bloodshot Dawn and Reprisal, as well as sharing a stage with the likes of Ingested, Vader, Immolation and Pestilence. INFECTED DEAD’s second era is set to be cemented in stone with their forthcoming ‘Invicta’ EP.
Please let me know if it would be possible to shout about the new single and forthcoming EP to help spread the word. I’ve included the promo for the EP should you wish to cover it.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy the record!

INFECTED DEAD
Having regrouped with a new line-up in 2024, the five-piece technical death metal band boasts alumni from the likes of Pupil Slicer, Dawnwalker and Overthrow. Gelling as a unit on stages throughout their home country of the UK, which includes previous touring alongside Bloodshot Dawn and Reprisal, as well as sharing a stage with the likes of Ingested, Vader, Immolation and Pestilence. INFECTED DEAD’s second era is set to be cemented in stone with their forthcoming ‘Invicta’ EP.
Conceived conceptually as far back as 2020, the past 12 months saw the band enter the studio to record their most devastating and widely ambitious material to date. ‘Invicta’ sees production handled by V.Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress and Obscura), and comprises of four tracks, with thematic focus on eldritch abominations and anticosmicism with the connecting thread of Lovecraftian horror.
Where complacency breeds horror in the 21st century’s very real and deeply felt dystopian tendencies, be it ecologically, collectively, or personally, INFECTED DEAD has grown from their hiatus into a wisened collective that brings forth astutely parabolic storytelling without giving way to apathy. Tying together Invicta’s themes, the band also brought in acclaimed artist Artem Grigoryev (Profound Lore) for the cover. In the face of cosmic horror and insanity, the UK quintet’s return is a proclamation of being unconquerable in and of itself.

Long time fans of the band and the tech death genre will no doubt see and hear a reverence to genre titans such as Obscura, Job For A Cowboy and The Zenith Passage, however, with two years of levelling stages across the land INFECTED DEAD’s excoriating approach to a tried and tested craft is entirely their own.
