Modern progressive metal unit Infected Rain, which experienced its most successful years yet in 2022 and 2023, is now back with its sixth album, Time, slated for release on 9 February 2024, via Napalm Records.
Following its 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. Described by the multinational band as "a homage to every fleeting second, every heartbeat, and every breath that has led us to this moment", Time was once again produced, mixed and mastered by Valentin Voluta, and combines the deft talents of returning members Vidick (guitars, cover artist), Eugeniu Voluta (drums) and famed frontwoman Lena Scissorhands (vocals), plus introduces new member Alice Lane (bass) to the fold.
The band has kicked things off with an eerie, top-quality music video for the crushing new single, "Never To Return", which awaits you in the player below. The track flirts with trip-hop elements and Far Eastern instrumentation before bludgeoning with aggressive riffs and dynamic vocals!
Infected Rain says about "Never To Return": "'Never To Return' is our deep dive into the unstoppable flow of time, reminiscent of the shifting sands in an ancient desert. Like smoke that slips through fingers, moments pass us by, leaving behind traces of memories. In this song, amidst the backdrop of the vast, timeless desert, we transform into ethereal creatures, exploring the mysteries of time. It's a reflection on life's journey, with all its fleeting moments, and a reminder that every second counts".
Infected Rain exercises its trademarks with Time, tastefully accenting the introspective musical journey with effectively placed progressive, electronic and even nu-metal features amid ethereal passages.
Infected Rain says 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 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". Link
