SPIRIT ADRIFT Announce Final Shows On Decibel Tour, Replacing FULCI ~ Final Album, Infinite Illumination, Out Now!

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 28, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

The end draws nearer for SPIRIT ADRIFT. Following the release of their critically acclaimed sixth and final album Infinite Illumination, the band will make their last live appearances this spring as part of the Decibel Tour, stepping in to replace Fulci. These newly announced dates will mark the final opportunity for fans to witness the band’s towering live presence, a fitting farewell for one of modern metal’s most revered acts.

Says SPIRIT ADRIFT mastermind Nate Garrett: “We’re sorry to hear that our friends in Fulci are unable to make it to the States for the Decibel Tour.”

“But we’re honored to step in on short notice and make this happen. Since we announced the end of Spirit Adrift, a lot of y’all have been clamoring for a farewell tour, so here you go. Decibel Magazine has always been so supportive of Spirit Adrift, so this was an offer we simply could not refuse. We’re psyched to be the black sheep of the tour, old school doom/heavy metal smack in the middle of a powerhouse lineup of incredible death metal bands.”

“We’ll be playing songs from our new (and final) album Infinite Illumination, as well as highlights of the back catalog. Hopefully we’ll see some of you long time Spirit Adrift fans out there, and maybe we can even win over the more extreme metal fans. We’ll definitely be breaking our necks to ‘Slit Your Guts’ with y’all every night. Can’t wait!”

Released via 20 Buck Spin, Infinite Illumination stands as a powerful closing statement, capturing the urgency, emotional weight, and unmistakable voice that defined SPIRIT ADRIFT over the past decade. Helmed by Garrett, the album channels raw intensity and hard-earned perspective into a collection of songs that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. From crushing doom-laden riffs to soaring, soul-stirring melodies, it’s a record that embodies both culmination and catharsis.

Track-list:

  1. Infinite Illumination
  2. Window Within
  3. You Will Never Hold The Key
  4. Born In A Bad Way
  5. Buried In The Shadow of the Cross
  6. White Death
  7. I Am Sustained
  8. Where Once There Was An Ocean

Purchase tickets for the Decibel Tour: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/events/tour/

Infinite Illumination is available digitally now. Gatefold LP and CD editions will be released May 15th. Pre-order here: https://www.20buckspin.com/spiritadrift

The album has already drawn widespread acclaim, with Blabbermouth calling it “their greatest album” and “one of the most emotionally super-charged farewells in heavy music,” while Pitchfork hailed it as “triumph of melodic, soul-stirring, profoundly heavy metal.” As their final chapter unfolds, these last performances promise to be as unforgettable as the legacy they leave behind.

Infinite Illumination is available now on all digital platforms, with gatefold LP and CD editions arriving May 15th. Don’t miss your chance to experience SPIRIT ADRIFT one last time on the Decibel Tour.

SANAGA Confirmed For SONUM Fest 2026 (Quebec City) + Unleash Debut Single “The Godslayer’s Oath” ~ Mixed & Mastered by KATAKLYSM’s Jeff Dagenais

Rising death metal force Sanaga will take the stage at SONUM Fest 2026 on May 16th as part of the three‑day festival running May 15–17. The event, hosted in Quebec City at Studio Sonum (25 Bigaouette), is known for showcasing some of the most intense and innovative acts in heavy music. This performance marks one of Sanaga’s first official live appearances.

Sanaga recently unleashed their debut single, “The Godslayer’s Oath”, mixed and mastered by Jeff Dagenais (Kataklysm). The track serves as the band’s explosive introduction to the Canadian metal scene. Formed in late 2026, Sanaga unites long‑time friends and seasoned musicians driven by a shared passion for fast, melodic, aggressive, and evocative metal inspired by Death, Slayer, Amon Amarth, and Dark Tranquillity.

“The Godslayer’s Oath” was the natural choice for Sanaga’s first release. As the earliest song the band fully rehearsed together, it quickly became their most complete and polished composition. Musically, it captures the full spectrum of Sanaga’s sound, death metal fused with thrash energy and sharpened by touches of black metal.

Lyrically, the track introduces listeners to the band’s myth‑driven universe, telling the story of a void‑born entity created for one purpose: to slay gods and annihilate their realms. Whether interpreted as an anti‑religious statement or a brutal fantasy narrative, the single sets the tone for Sanaga’s bold, storytelling focused approach.

Though newly formed, Sanaga’s members are no strangers to the Quebec metal scene, with active roles in projects such as Meet The Mailman, Foxy Queen, Devil’s Trill, and Warriors of the North. Their combined experience fuels a tight, high‑energy sound and a no‑nonsense writing process.

The single’s artwork reflects the band’s name, drawn from the Sanaga River in Cameroon, a symbol of life, death, and myth. Its dark, foreboding landscape and towering god‑slaying figure visually echo the themes explored in the music.

Following their SONUM Fest performance, Sanaga will continue preparing for additional live dates and will return to the studio to record their second release. With a defined sound and a clear creative vision, the band is poised to make a powerful impact on the death metal landscape.
