Moldovan modern metal band Infected Rain begins a new exciting journey through the futuristic sonic realm of the latest release “Ecdysis”.
Surrounded by visionary multilayered synths “Postmortem Pt. 1” prepares a harsh rhythmic assault relying on Lena Scissorhands’ visceral growls to amplify the hardcore force of the crunchy riffage in contrast with the recurring bittersweet melodic passages.
The enhanced brutality of “Fighter” comes from the faster savage rhythmic patterns and the consequent groovy momentum seems unstoppable but there is still space for a calmer breakdown accompanied by soulful vocals.
Throughout “Longing” gritty guitars and fiery drums can easily generate solid grooves yet the multifaceted electro elements certainly add diversity creating subtle dreamy moments to express genuine emotions.
Featuring guest vocalist Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies “The Realm of Chaos” will definitely stand out for the thrilling vocal performance embellished by the alluring darkened atmospheric nuances floating through a quite ruthless rhythmic core.
Channeling unrestrained metalcore influences “Everlasting Lethargy” can hit you in the face with vicious rhythmic blasts while Lena shows her versatile vocal skills shifting from hostile screams to soothing lullaby harmonies during the glowing atmospheric passages.
“Nine, Ten” leaves behind any sign of brutality to focus on a surreal atmospheric ensemble evoking a daydreaming state through shimmering synths and a profoundly melancholic vocal delivery.
“Postmortem Pt. 2” begins with hazy atmospheric layers and graceful vocals leading to a more melodic composition to emphasize haunting feelings but the bold rhythmic section can still unleash heavier dynamics with some tasteful proggy accents.
In the last few years Infected Rain have developed a catchy blend of aggressive grooves and deeply emotional melodic textures that today continues to flourish within the intense soundscapes of “Ecdysis”.
