Heavener is the fourth studio album by American metalcore band Invent Animate, released on March 17, 2023, through UNFD.

gave the album 3 out of 5 and stated: "No question, Heavener is proof that Invent Animate remain one of the most compelling acts in progressive metalcore.

It's just that the real intrigue lies in where they go next now they've left this baggage behind..."[12] New Transcendence gave the album an almost perfect score 9/10 and saying: "This might be an unpopular opinion, but Heavener feels like the first time Invent Animate have tried anything measurably different in several releases—if not ever.

If anything, Invent Animate are victims to their own immense success, as Heavener only stutters in the context of their own discography, but overall remains an incredibly strong listening experience in its own right.

Invent Animate remain at the top of the progressive metalcore food chain, and Heavener opens up a huge number of new directions for the band to expand into next.
