Amen is the fifth studio album by French multi-instrumentalist Igorrr. It was released on 19 September 2025 as a digital download and 12" LP.
Igorrr's 2017 album Savage Sinusoid and follow-up album Spirituality and Distortion marked a shift in style towards a more organic approach featuring live instruments and natural acoustics, whilst the project shifted from a solo studio project to a full live band. Amen is a continuation on the theme, and experiments with less conventional instrumentation. [1] Igorrr has indicated that the album is much darker and solemn in its themes than his previous work. [2]
A wide variety of live instrumentation was recorded for the album, with Igorrr recording vocals from a live choir inside of a church. [3] He also recorded a nine-foot Tibetan dung-chen horn (typically used in Buddhist ceremonies). [1]
Igorrr has also experimented with a less-conventional approach to percussion. On the track "Pure Disproportionate Black and White Nihilism", he hit snares with a giant hammer on a blacksmith's anvil for a more aggressive sound. On "Headbutt", Igorrr used an excavator to play the piano. [1]
The first single from the album "ADHD" was released on 3 April 2025. Igorrr stated that the song is "kind of an autobiographical piece of music". The single was accompanied by a music video created by Meat Dept, which was created with AI assistance. The video has been described as a "symbolic journey into experimental therapy for treating a patient with ADHD. [4]
On 21 May 2025, Igorrr released the second single from the album, "Blastbeat Falafel" which featured Trey Spruance on guitar, keyboard and vocals as well as violin and trumpet contributions from Timba Harris. [5] The single includes influences from both metal and traditional oriental music and was accompanied with a music video. [6]
On 26 June 2025, the third single from the album, "Infestis", was released. The song has been categorised as death metal. [7]
The album was released on 19 September 2025 on Metal Blade Records. [1] [2]
