Modern progressive metal unit Infected Rain are back to own the new year with their multifaceted upcoming sixth album, “Time”, out February 09, 2024 via Napalm Records. Following their eerie, dynamic single “Never To Return“, the band returns today with the heart-wrenching stunner “Because I Let You” – a menacing progressive-meets-nu-metal anthem with intense lyricism and an equally powerful, moving music video.
Following their most successful album to date, 2022’s “Ecdysis” – which garnered prime media acclaim, hundreds of thousands of streams and views, and debuted in the Top 20 on the US Current Hard Music charts – Infected Rain climbs even higher with “Time”. The album was once again produced, mixed and mastered by Valentin Voluta, and combines the deft talents of returning members Vidick (guitars, cover artist), Eugene Voluta (drums) and famed frontwoman Lena Scissorhands (vocals), plus introduces new member Alice Lane (bass) to the fold.
The band says about the new single:
In ‘Because I Let You‘, we delve into the paradox of love’s pain, exploring how our deepest affections can lead to our greatest wounds. It’s a raw reflection on the vulnerability we expose in love, and how sometimes those we trust most can wield our secrets and fears against us. This song isn’t just about the struggles in relationships; it’s a mirror to the courage it takes to acknowledge and voice this complex reality.
Infected Rain exercise their trademarks with “Time”, tastefully accenting the introspective musical journey with effectively-placed progressive, electronic and even nu-metal features amid ethereal passages.
The band spekas about “Time”:
‘Time’ is not just an album, it’s a journey, a testament to our evolution as Infected Rain.
Time isn’t just a measure; it’s an ever-flowing river, a constant reminder of our fleeting moments and enduring legacies.
This subject resonates deeply throughout the record, offering to you a chance to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and dream of the future.
With “Time”, we invite you to experience the phenomena of time with us, in all its haunting beauty and raw power.
