US symphonic black metallers Vesseles have set 16 January 2026 as the release date for their sophomore full-length, Home, and unveiled a "Scriptures Etched Into The Mind's Pillars" video single.
The track is an ode to the grand tradition of classic symphonic black metal. It is a vehement composition that grapples with the inner fortresses we build to protect ourselves, only to find them transformed into prisons. As relentless as it is majestic, the song marks a lyrical turning point: moving away from searching for solace in one's origins toward confronting the distress of internal struggle and the elusive quest for peace.
The Home album expands upon the Vesseles' identity-driven narrative, weaving a mythos of belonging, alienation, and ultimate reclamation of power. The album is as much about survival as it is about transcendence, an unflinching exploration of self through sound.
"Home is the sound of returning to a place you've never truly known", says Valira.
With its blend of sweeping orchestration, blistering aggression, and emotional weight, Home establishes Vesseles as one of the most uncompromising voices in contemporary symphonic black metal.
