Texas-based progressive metalcore outfit and recent Metal Blade Records signees FERVENCE will release their Constructs full-length October 16th.

Inspired by bands like Deftones, Architects, and Silent Planet, the FERVENCE sound is an ethereal blend of harsh and lush, navigating between moments of sheer aggression and poignant vulnerability. Formed in 2019 in Reno, Nevada as guitarist Trent Odneal‘s solo project, FERVENCE released its debut full-length, Ghost, in 2020. The recording was called an “emotionally laden and hard-hitting record that contemplates what it is to be human.”

The band reemerged in 2023 with vocalist Stevie B. at the helm, bringing her unique brand of aggression to the project. FERVENCE toured the West Coast, continuing to build their local following in Reno opening for the likes of Otep, Left To Suffer, and Gideon, and releasing four singles that would make up their second offering, an EP titled Realm//One which was praised for “breaking so many rules in metal.”

On Constructs, the quintet‘s Metal Blade debut, FERVENCE delivers eleven dynamic songs that explore, both musically and lyrically, deeply personal experiences surrounding life, death, emotion, and relationships.Now based in Austin, Texas, the band spent 2025 crafting their most fully realized songs to date. Writing post-Ghost, Odneal made a conscious effort to leave more space for the vocals to explore melodies and focused on composition, mood, song structure, and building up to big choruses.

Produced by Odneal and guitarist Austin Bentley and mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren, Constructs features callbacks to the Ghost album, both inconspicuous and conspicuous. “As we have grown together and individually, so have our views on existence and the concepts discussed. Constructs,” Odneal explains, “is a refinement of our ability to convey some of these thoughts in a more generally relatable way, while also adding a bit more insight on other tangential topics.”

Songs like lead single, “Zenith,” address the emotions around prolonged health struggles, and feeling like “being a prisoner in your own body.”

Stevie further elaborates, “The lyrics were inspired by the feelings of hopelessness and depression that come with prolonged health struggles. Dealing with health challenges in your own life, seeing people you love struggle, and just feeling like there is no way out and nothing will ever get better.”

FERVENCE‘s Constructs will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following colour variants:

Pearl Bone Marble (US)
Shimmer Gold + Black Marble (US)
