This Friday, February 9 marks the release of female fronted band INFECTED RAIN’s already acclaimed sixth modern progressive metal opus, TIME, via Napalm Records! Following their 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. On the album, INFECTED RAIN exercise their trademarks, tastefully accenting the introspective musical journey with effectively-placed progressive, electronic and even nu-metal features amid ethereal passages. The album was once again produced, mixed and mastered by Valentin Voluta, and combines the deft talents of returning members Vidick (guitars, cover artist), Eugene Voluta (drums) and famed frontwoman Lena Scissorhands (vocals), plus introduces new member Alice Lane (bass) to the fold. I sat down with charismatic singer Lena who was fresh off the boat of 70000 Tons of Metal to discuss the album, performing deeply personal songs, and going on tour with Amaranthe and Dragonforce! 0:00 Intro 0:51 70000 Tons of Seas Sickness 3:30 Release Party 5:15 Headphones Album 8:00 Dealing with Pain 13:55 Fan Reactions 17:07 Tour Life 20:53 Creating a Safe Space 24:10 Outro Videos used: INFECTED RAIN - LIGHTHOUSE (Official Video) | Napalm Records INFECTED RAIN - VIVARIUM (Official Video) | Napalm Records INFECTED RAIN - BECAUSE I LET YOU (Official Video) | Napalm Records INFECTED RAIN - DYING LIGHT (Official Video) | Napalm Records
