Release date: January 2nd, 2026

Jawbreaker Records proudly unveils the next chapter in Austrian metal with the release of “Aletheia,” the long-anticipated second album from Wildhunt. Set to arrive on January 2nd, 2026, the album will be available on LP, CD and digital formats.

Ten years have passed since Wildhunt’s debut “Descending,” and the band now returns with sharpened focus and renewed fire. “Aletheia” builds on the intricate, high-energy metal foundations laid in their first record, expanding into bold new territory with sweeping compositions and a fierce sense of purpose.

The journey from debut to follow-up has brought transformation. Lineup shifts and years of evolution have shaped a more refined and mature sound. Across seven tracks, “Aletheia” delivers a dynamic surge of emotion, pairing intense riffing with introspective, shadowed lyrics. The result is a record that challenges convention while staying true to the spirit of classic metal.

Listeners who appreciate the legacy of early Metallica, Heathen, King Diamond and Megadeth will find much to admire in Wildhunt’s latest offering. Aletheia is a statement of intent, a call to confront illusion and embrace truth.
