Sable Hills release “Labyrinth” before November album Homura

Sable Hills have released “Labyrinth,” the final advance single from Homura. The Tokyo metalcore band’s new album is scheduled for November 13, 2026 through Arising Empire.

The last preview before the full record

In its October 16 announcement, Arising Empire places rhythm-driven riffs, harmonised guitars and breakdowns at the centre of the single’s musical identity. The label frames it as a meeting point between the foundations of melodic metalcore and the band’s newer material.

The stated lyrical focus is finding direction again by reconnecting with your roots. That gives the track a clear thematic point of entry alongside its guitar-focused musical framing.

Following Odyssey

Sable Hills formed in Tokyo in 2015 and released Odyssey in 2024. “Labyrinth” now completes the run of advance singles before their next album arrives.

For melodic-metalcore listeners, this is a useful moment to catch up with the new material before judging how it works across a complete record. “Labyrinth” is the final signpost before that bigger picture arrives.
