Ingrina announced the release of the album Nåvärre Lys!

I'm happy to share with you the new album Ingrina! This atmospheric post hardcore/post metal quintet just announced Nåværende Lys to be released on February 13, 2026, via Medication Tome Records and À Tant Rêver Du Roi. No singles, no music videos beforehand: everything will be revealed to the public all at once on the big day. Hailing from Corrèze (center of France), these guys push their boundaries once again, celebrating more than ever the DIY mentality that has always been a constant for them. Highly recommended to fans of Year Of No Light, Cult Of Luna, and Russian Circles.

Despite the release of the massive one-off single "Ice Flares" in 2023, it took over five long years for Ingrina to deliver the successor to Siste Lys. But every good saga is worth the wait, and for good reason: Nåværende Lys is none other than the third and final installment of the conceptual trilogy initiated with Etter Lys in 2018. Or what the band presents as a "metaphorical narrative, completing a geological cycle where life forms have survived drowning, petrification, and then uprooting". As the sublime artwork of this opus suggests, these six new tracks are akin to a flow of molten lava. Incandescent, destructive, hypnotic, spectacular. In a post-whatever scene that is all too easily homogenized, especially in France, Ingrina continues to shine with their singularity. Few bands can craft a sound that makes their music so immersive, and this is definitely one of them.

No one can resist the captivating power of the layers emanating from these three guitars. Those that, with their metamorphic capabilities, reach peaks of heaviness and power in riffs that are in no way diminished by the switch from two to one single drummer. Their resonance evokes such raw emotion, interwoven with the spectral, sometimes tortured, vocals of the five musicians. This formula is further enhanced by Ingrina's masterful use of contrasts. It's not uncommon to switch abruptly from soaring doom/post-rock passages to phases of absolute turmoil where the tempo accelerates, unleashing a near-hardcore rage. And I can't help but mention the spice that makes all the difference in this already delicious sauce: the introduction of a few electronic elements, which opens up some interesting possibilities… For what's next? Personally, I want more!

Ingrina is the name of a memory. The one linked to a feeling of vital ecstasy that this civilization tries to erase from the living. It is also the name of an escape. The one that rushes toward less hostile otherworlds where time is transcended. Ingrina is the flickering form taken by the experience of a desertion that is always unfinished but so desperately desired. Stratifying their sounds like geological layers: a drum kit traces the tectonic movement, three guitars overlap until their outlines blur, a bass vibrates the buried strata, and voices emerge like distant echoes from a world that does not exist. Ingrina is an attempt to give voice to the melancholy trapped between all that is collapsing and all that is beginning to emerge.

Etter Lys, their debut album, describes the ordeal that life forms undergo when confronted with total colonization by flows and currents. The liquidation of landmarks, the dissolution of knowledge, the eventual abandonment, and then, emergence. Siste Lys, their sophomore effort, revisiting fragments of the past, recounts the reappearance of the jailers, the walls, and the present. This dark veil that obscures movement transforms the last rays of light into an ecstasy whose memory must fight to endure.

Nåværende Lys, the third and final installment of the trilogy, celebrates the moment the bars give way. Life forms have fractured the civilizational ice and now run free to their own excess. Power is nothing but inert ashes in the face of a vitality that knows no bounds. It is the time of flames, where the present spreads without expectation or hope. This is the final point of Ingrina's metaphorical narrative, completing a geological cycle in which life forms have gone through drowning, petrification, and then uprooting.

Like the first two opuses, this album is built on a narrative that propels life forms beyond the confines that hold them back. After traversing the colonizing floods of Etter Lys and the icy confinement of Siste Lys, after the emergence hinted at in "Ice Flares", existence finally unfolds without limits. Nåværende Lys celebrates a vibrant present where walls, borders, and prisons have been abolished. Time is no longer structured around waiting or hope but spreads through flames, consuming the old cycles of oppression. Power has been reduced to inert ashes, a powerless spectator of a vitality that is now irreversible. In this fragile reality, stripped of its certainties, life forms finally run free to their fullest potential.

This is the story of what happens when the bars break and the vital flow is unhindered. Composed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band over four years, Nåværende Lys maintains the ethereal, dense, and immersive style of Ingrina's other works, running counter to the productivist logic and frenetic schedules that govern today's music scene. The band chose retreat and slowness, refusing to yield to the demands of constant flux. In a time when everything is collapsing, this patience was not an option but a condition of existence: allowing the sonic material to emerge outside of imposed rhythms and norms, so that this album could exist according to its own time and take root in resourcefulness and DIY practices.
