Sepulcher is the second studio album[a] by the American screamo band Infant Island. It was released without previous announcement on April 17, 2020, through Acrobat Unstable Records, Left Hand Label, and Zegema Beach Records. It was self-produced by the band, with help from Michael Toney of the mathcore band Black Matter Device.

The album was critically acclaimed at the time of its release,[1][2] often mentioned in conjunction with the band's next album Beneath due to their close release dates.[3][4][5] The final listed track, "Awoken," was particularly praised, with music critic Ian Cohen writing in Pitchfork that it was "the kind of stunning, 10-minute scorched-earth aerial view that every screamo band tries to make."[6]
