Infected Rain release new single “Bloom” with live one-take playthrough

Author Benedetta Baldin - 11.11.2026

Moldovan modern metal force Infected Rain strikes back with their brand-new single, “Bloom”, accompanied by a live one-take playthrough.

Exploring the bittersweet feeling of watching someone you care about grow and follow their dreams, the song is about finding genuine happiness in their journey, even when that growth creates distance. Once again pushing the boundaries of their unmistakable sound, the band delivers an electrifying blend of modern progressive metal, crushing guitar riffs, atmospheric soundscapes and cutting-edge synths. Fronted by the charismatic Lena Scissorhands, whose extraordinary vocal range effortlessly shifts between ferocious screams and soaring clean melodies, “Bloom” takes listeners on an intense sonic journey packed with infectious grooves, experimental elements and irresistible melodies.

Balancing raw intensity with remarkable vulnerability, Infected Rain once again demonstrate their ability to transform deeply personal emotions into an unforgettable metal anthem.

Lena Scissorhands on “Bloom”:
“‘Bloom’ is a reflection on caring deeply for someone and watching them grow, even when that growth creates distance. It’s about choosing joy for the people we love as they follow their dreams, rather than taking that distance personally. Sometimes focusing on a goal means having less space for those who once stood right beside us. But that doesn’t erase the bond. Bloom embraces that shift, finding happiness in someone else’s growth, even if it’s from a little farther away.”

Over the years, Infected Rain have established themselves as one of the most distinctive and exciting forces in modern metal. Since forming in Moldova in 2008, the band has steadily built an international following through their uncompromising musical vision, explosive live performances and fearless approach to songwriting. Blending elements of progressive metal, metalcore, nu metal and alternative influences, they have carved out a sound that is as unpredictable as it is instantly recognizable.

With acclaimed releases such as “Endorphin” (2019), “Ecdysis” (2022) and “TIME” (2024), Infected Rain have continued to expand their creative horizons while strengthening their position on the international metal scene. Their ability to combine technical precision, emotional depth and devastating heaviness has earned them a dedicated worldwide fanbase and cemented their reputation as a formidable live act.

Now, with “Bloom”, Infected Rain open another exciting chapter in their musical evolution. Both intensely personal and sonically ambitious, the new single showcases a band that refuses to stand still, continuously refining its signature sound while exploring new creative territory.
