Inferno

Inferno is the fifth studio album by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada, released on 29 May 2026 by Warp Records. Recorded at Hexagon Sun studio in Pentland Hills, Scotland, Inferno was the duo's first studio album since Tomorrow's Harvest in 2013. The album has been classified as ambient music, IDM, and hauntology, and has been called Boards of Canada's response to a darker zeitgeist, incorporating allusions to biblical themes, spirituality, and the occult. The instrumentation of Inferno includes guitars, live drums, and synths, creating a live sound alongside prominent sampled vocals. Duo members Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin are both credited as instrumentalists and sound designers, with all production and writing on a majority of the tracks credited solely to Sandison. The promotional campaign began in April 2026 when unlabeled VHS cassettes were mailed to fans and posters appeared in various cities worldwide. The track "Deep Time" was shared online later that month, followed by the official announcement of the album. The single "Introit / Prophecy at 1420 MHz" was released in early May, accompanied by a music video directed by Robert Beatty.
