Coldrain debut new single ‘Chasing Shadows’

Japanese rising force coldrain debuts their explosive new single ‘Chasing Shadows‘, ahead of the band’s tour & festival run in Germany this August. Packed with the unmistakable vocal power of frontman Masato, ‘Chasing Shadows‘ delivers a fierce blend of melody and aggression, capturing the band’s signature sound with raw emotion expressed in both English and Japanese.

With its compelling mix that resonates across both metal and rock audiences, ‘Chasing Shadows’ further establishes coldrain as one of the most dynamic forces in international rock. The single follows on their March release ‘INCOMPLETE‘.

Vocalist Masato shares about the new song:

This song was inspired by tales of people who questioned the values and rules they were given, and try to find the truth for themselves. I wanted to share how important it is to explore + understand each other, instead of easily moving toward conflict or anger. Even if the world feels closed off, the fire inside us can’t be put out. It’s a message to keep taking small steps forward, even when we feel lost.

The Japanese quintet recently announced their Japan Tour for September and October under the title “OPTIMIZE” while also teasing the arrival of their new EP under the same name for this fall. With two singles already released and their European headline tour for this fall branded under the same name, fans and new listeners alike can expect more details to follow in the upcoming weeks.

The release of ‘Chasing Shadows’ comes just as coldrain kicks off their festival & headliner run in Germany, with appearances at major events including Rocco del Schlacko, Summer Breeze, and Reload Festival. The band will also return to Europe this fall for a 17-date headline tour across the UK and Europe, including stops in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin, and Warsaw. With the tour being added to the band’s “OPTIMIZE” run, fans can expect to hear songs from their new EP, expected for this fall, live for the first time.
