Ukrainian modern metal outfit IGNEA have unveiled "Dreams of Lands Unseen," the first single and video from their forthcoming album Monumental, due October 23, 2026 via Napalm Records. The track explores the era of Cold War space exploration — a time when humanity projected its greatest hopes onto the cosmos.
Monumental is IGNEA's second full-length album, a nine-track concept record examining nostalgia through the lens of modernist architecture and Cold War imagery. The album was largely recorded during the winter of 2025–2026 amid freezing temperatures and power outages in Kyiv.
Tracklist:
- Darkness
- Dreams of Lands Unseen
- Presence of the Past
- Prefab (feat. Combichrist)
- What Buildings Dream Of
- I Am in Hell
- Between No Longer and Not Yet
- Harmony Manufactured (feat. Hiraes)
- Nadir
