Honor Is Dead is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Wovenwar. It was released on October 21, 2016, via Metal Blade Records.

The album, unlike its predecessor, was written with contributions from all the five members, while Wovenwar was mostly written before Shane Blay joined the band. Each member recorded their parts individually, rather than being put together in one recording studio, thus drums were recorded at Rarefied Recordings in San Diego, vocal and bass parts recorded at Echelon Studios East in Birmingham, additional vocals recorded at Echelon Studios in Burbank, and guitars recorded at Casa de Sgroz and The Gnextry Room in Oceanside.

In early September 2016, the album's title, track listing and cover art were revealed together with the release date has been set for October 21, 2016. In late September 2016, member Phil Sgrosso announced his exit from the band. The rest of the band embarked on a North American tour with the groups Soilwork, Unearth, Battlecross and Darkness Divided, which lasted from October 14 to November 16, 2016.

Wovenwar would go on an indefinite hiatus following the release of the album. Blay returned to his main band Oh, Sleeper for Bloodied / Unbowed, while the rest of the band reunited with Tim Lambesis for As I Lay Dying's Shaped by Fire.
