Dark cabaret metal collective Tardigrade Inferno have announced their third studio album, “Hush”, set for release on March 5. Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled the official music video for the album’s first single, “Hide ‘n’ Seek”, offering an evocative first glimpse into the new record.

“Hush” continues the narrative and aesthetic journey that began with “Burn the Circus“ (2023). The album opens amid the crackle of a burning circus, where a lone radio broadcasts a mournful melody from the ashes. From there, Tardigrade Inferno rise with renewed force — theatrical, unsettling, and unapologetically expressive.

The album channels the band’s defining strengths: the intensity of their live shows, thoughtful songwriting, ironic lyricism and carefully crafted visuals. Those elements were recently captured on their 2025 live album “Made In Hell”, and now return on “Hush” with sharpened focus and studio precision.

Vocalist Darya Rorria leads the record with her distinctive contralto, shifting effortlessly from velvet softness to biting sarcasm and tragic restraint. Her performance moves with the music — teasing, soaring, and whispering where it hurts most. Instrumentally, retro-futuristic keyboards nod to classic horror cinema, guitars balance feral energy with elegance, and a thunderous rhythm section gives the songs both weight and pulse.

Production, mixing and mastering were once again handled by Vladimir Lehtinen, who has worked closely with the band since “The Worst of Me“ EP, helping preserve their raw live energy while refining it for the studio.
