Madrid-based outfit In Vain have released their seventh studio album, Architects of Mayhem, available now on CD and digital formats through Fighter Records.
Formed in 2004, the band spent two decades refining a sound that blends fast-paced thrash and speed metal with power metal hooks. Following early demos, the group issued their 2009 debut Of Gods and Men, followed by 2012’s In Death We Trust, 2014’s The Little Things That Matter, 2017’s IV, and 2021’s All Hope Is Gone.
The current lineup, featuring guitarist Julio Abadรญa and bassist Manel Avrillรณn alongside original members, recorded the new tracks during the first half of 2026. The release follows extensive touring across Spain throughout 2024 and 2025 in support of their previous record, Back to Nowhere, alongside festival appearances at Gineta Rock and Bodega Rock.
Architects of Mayhem is out now via Fighter Records.
