On their upcoming album, INFECTED RAIN have redefined themselves. Ecdysis electrifies with resonating riffs, cosmic electronics, Lena’s treasure trove of vocal abilities and intense lyrical themes ranging from depression and abandonment to embracing reality – showcasing the band’s advancement while blending extreme, progressive groove with dark, haunting melody.

Just recently, they've shared a first album appetizer, the brand new single “Postmortem Pt. 1”. The potent track dispenses the band’s patented formula instantly, with eerie synth-laden soundscapes seamlessly cascading into countless layers of cosmic atmosphere backed by thick, grooving riffs, barreling drums and skyscraper growls. Get yourself into the perfect mood of finally seeing them live again soon, and watch INFECTED RAIN’s new music video for “Postmortem Pt. 1” here:

Produced once again by Valentin Voluta, Ecdysis successfully demonstrates ultramodern brutality without sacrificing emotion and melody – showcasing a new layer of INFECTED RAIN that longtime followers and new fans alike will embrace.

"While the whole world was in a deep depression, Ecdysis was slowly but surely maturing“, Lena commented earlier. "The time in isolation away from all our plans and goals, away from loved ones and the stage, brought out something so new and different in us. A new chapter starts with this album, a chapter of raw emotions and complete commitment."
