Belgian black death metal veterans, Insanity Reigns Supreme, will release their fourth studio album, Unorthodox, on January 16th via Shiver Records.

Unorthodox - the fourth full length album from Belgian cult pact Insanity Reigns Supreme - marks a new chapter of total darkness in the already 25 year long career of the band.

The follow-up to 2009’s renowned opus, Occultus Insanus Damnatus, excitingly combines furious black and death metal with the funeral grimness of doom, that continues to surprise and intrigue the listener in many ways.The duality of human nature and its macabre consequences form Unorthodox’s central theme.

"The Conjuring"
"Ov Fire"
"Throne of One"
"Torment"
"Moonlight Sacrifice"
"By the Blood of the Beast"
"Cursed be the Faithful"
"The Calling"

The album’s stunning artwork – designed by Septic Flesh frontman Seth Siro Anton – and haunting lyrics expose the beast that lives inside all of us. The slipcase version of the album further visualizes man’s grim reality with its two different covers, hidden details and subtle hints.

Seth Siro Anton had the following to say: "It's always a dark pleasure to work with Insanity Reigns Supreme. Whilst working on this project, it is without a doubt one of most bizzare artworks I have ever created, while I was trying to explore the great beauty of Grotesque in Dark Art"

Unorthodox was recorded at the Stage One Studios in Germany with Andy Classen, best known for his work with Belphegor, Legion Of The Damned and Destruction.

Insanity Reigns Supreme had the following to say: “Work in the studio has never been this intense and needed full input and drive from every band member to pull it off. Andy drove us to our limits and the end product clearly shows this intensity.”
