Portuguese black metal institution Irae are streaming their sixth album, In The Key Of Twilight, in full ahead of its official release on 28 November via Signal Rex.
With In The Key Of Twilight, Irae return with their most ambitious work to date: a concept album centred on overcoming oneself—both as a human and as the man who made god. Across its bleak yet transformative soundscapes, the record opens doors, breaks barriers, and forges new paths, rising from extinction into the light.
Marking a bold evolution in Irae's discography, In The Key Of Twilight fuses the band's trademark ferocity with an expansive, narrative‑driven approach. Each track unfolds like a chapter in a journey through destruction, transcendence, and rebirth. Link

"Goth people want to have fun sometimes too. I guess if your listening time is 99% dark, sad songs or evil black metal songs, sometimes you want 1% joy, and here I come." - Franck Hueso
"When you feel something you need to share, creating songs is the best way to do it. You can reflect on yourself so that you can relax and be relieved of that emotion." - Çağla Güleray
"I think it's basically a mutation of a lot of different things — like a hybrid creature nobody quite knows how to categorise. A heretic, I guess." - Håvard Ellefsen (Mortiis)
"It's my kind of duty to provoke people and to make sure they feel something — to dance, cry, do whatever they feel. I do motivate them, because that's my purpose." - Chris Corner
