Infant Island chronology

Sepulcher is the second studio album by the American screamo band Infant Island. It was released without previous announcement on April 17, 2020, through Acrobat Unstable Records, Left Hand Label, and Zegema Beach Records. It was self-produced by the band, with help from Michael Toney of the mathcore band Black Matter Device.

The album was critically acclaimed at the time of its release,[1][2] often mentioned in conjunction with the band's next album Beneath due to their close release dates.[3][4][5] The final listed track, "Awoken," was particularly praised, with music critic Ian Cohen writing in Pitchfork that it was "the kind of stunning, 10-minute scorched-earth aerial view that every screamo band tries to make."[6]
