Infected Rain have released Bloom through Nuclear Blast, with a performance of it filmed in one take.
The song is about watching somebody you love grow into their own life and being glad about it while it takes them further away. Lena Scissorhands has built most of her writing out of that kind of double feeling, and the band have never been shy about saying what a song is for.
They are from Chisinau in Moldova, which is not a country with a metal export industry, and they have been going since 2008 with the same singer throughout. Six albums behind them, from Asylum in 2011 to Time in 2024, and the move from the nu metal of the early records to what they do now has been gradual rather than announced.
Vadim Ojog plays guitar, Eugen Voluta drums and Alice Pandini bass.
Filming a band playing a song straight through, with no cuts and no story, is an old idea that works when the performance can carry it. No album has been announced around this one.
