Välde (Swedish for Empire) is the third studio album by the Swedish deathcore band Humanity's Last Breath. It was released on 12 February 2021, through Unique Leader Records.[7] Music videos were released for the tracks "Vittring"[8] and "Tide".[9] "Glutton" was also released as a pre-release single on 7 January 2021.[10]
About the relation between the song titles and modern-day issues, guitarist/bassist Buster Odeholm explained, "When you watch the news and you see and hear the way we are going as the human race – it's kinda like 'yeah this is definitely not positive'. If I'm on a podcast or just walking on the street and see something, I can suddenly just get a sentence in my head. And if that resonates with me, I always feel like I want to express that via music. That’s where a lot of these song titles come from."[11] Humanity's Last Breath promoted the album by supporting Jinjer in September and October 2021 and embarking on a European tour with Reflections and Cabal in April 2022.[12]
