»Rheia (Redux)« is the 2026 remaster of Oathbreaker’s 2016 genre-defining album. Helmed by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Loma Prieta), »Rheia« stands as a turning point, where Oathbreaker began pushing beyond the boundaries of contemporary heavy music.

Their awe-inspiring instrumentation was recorded on two inch tape in a largely live environment. Vocals where also captured in single takes, heightening the immediacy and intensity of Caro Tanghe’s legendary performances.

The album opens in restraint with »10:56« before giving way to the explosive »Second Son Of R«, where melody fractures into blackened intensity and shifting tempos. »Being Able To Feel Nothing« surges and collapses in waves, while »Stay Here / Accroche-Moi« offers a spectral acoustic pause before »Needles In Your Skin«, a stark and deeply personal centerpiece.

From there, the record only expands. »Immortals» swells with overwhelming force, leading into the triptych of »I’m Sorry, This Is«, »Where I Live«, and »Where I Leave«. It all resolves with »Begeerte«, a closer that drifts into the unknown, dissolving as it arrives.
