Willow is the fourth studio album by American progressive metalcore band Reflections. The album was released on February 20, 2020. This was the first and only album to feature Logan Young, who left the band a year after the album released, and the final album to feature Patrick Somoulay, and Francis Xayana, who both left the band on January 26, 2026, having accused vocalist Jake Wolf of supporting ICE.[6]

The album has many influences including Humanity's Last Breath's self-titled debut, Mick Gordon's soundtrack for Doom, ex-Periphery drummer Travis Orbin, Hate by Thy Art Is Murder, Danza III: The Series of Unfortunate Events by The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, Divided By by Structures, and the first two Slipknot albums.[1]
