CD Infected Rain – Ecdysis

Infected Rain returns with their fifth studio album, Ecdysis—a masterclass in modern progressive metal that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Released via Napalm Records in 2022, this follow-up to 2019’s Endorphin showcases the band’s evolution into a sophisticated, genre-bending powerhouse.

At the center of the storm is the incomparable Lena Scissorhands, whose vocal versatility is nothing short of breathtaking. Shifting seamlessly from blood-curdling, rhythmic screams to ethereal, melancholic melodies, her poetic lyrics add a distinct, mystical depth to the record. Musically, the album is a playground of contradictions: crushing metal foundations collide with intricate electronic soundscapes, gothic symphonic elements, and even Drum ‘n’ Bass-inspired textures.

Key Highlights:

• Dynamic Composition: A brilliant blend of heavy, groove-laden metal and atmospheric, electronic-infused delicacy.
• Star Collaborations: Features the thunderous track "The Realm of Chaos," featuring a haunting vocal face-off with Heidi Shepherd (Butcher Babies).
• Standout Tracks: From the electronic-drenched atmosphere of "Nine, Ten" to the earth-shattering intensity of "Postmortem Pt. 2," Ecdysis offers an adventurous listening experience.

Perfect for fans who appreciate technically precise guitar work paired with unbridled, visceral emotion, Ecdysis proves why Infected Rain remains one of the most exciting, forward-thinking acts in the modern metal scene.
