Moldova’s Infected Rain return with their massive sixth Nu Metal creation, ‘Time’, via Napalm Records.
Following their very successful album from 2022’s ‘Ecdysis’;
which received great acclaim and debuted in the Top 20 US Music charts.
An eclectic studio album that pushes the envelope in the modern metal scene.
The Moldovan band has been active since 2008.
Throughout its journey, the group has stood out for its ability to think outside the box and bring originality to the metal scene with its kaleidoscopic sound.
The band’s music often combines various metal subgenres, incorporating elements of alternative, nu-metal and metalcore.
Lena Scissorhands’ powerful and versatile vocals, coupled with the band’s dynamic instrumentation, contribute to their distinctive musical identity and ability to constantly try new things.
‘Time’ is yet another example of their approach.
The album track list features twelve new songs.
Each track allows the band to experiment with different ideas, highlighting the incredibly broad scope of this record.
The flagship single, ‘Never To Return’, is a very good introduction to the aesthetics of this album.
The song features cinematic ambient tones, as well as brutal guitar, riffs and diverse arrangements with somewhat of a progressive feel.
With a penchant for theatrics and storytelling, the band managed to create a very immersive album with a strong sonic narrative behind it.
It is not always easy to add something new to the conversation when it comes to metal music, but Infected Rain has something to say.
Fans of bands such as Jinjer, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil and Otep should most definitely give this album a shot…
Bands like these have helped and continue to help shape the sound of contemporary metal music, drawing outside the lines and bringing more variety to the scene.
Thankfully, this band set out to stay pretty prolific over the past few years, even in spite of the obvious challenges many artists have had to face in the not-too-distant past.
Infected Rain strikes as a band on a constant quest to expand its sound and raking in new influences to keep treating fans to something special.
It’s always very interesting to hear metal bands that are open to incorporating ideas and sounds that are not commonly associated with metal music.
This fusion brings the genre to new places and helps come up with a more original sound for the artist.
‘Time’ fits this category…
