Infected Rain have issued a music video for their brand new track “Stranger“. The Moldovan alternative metal band’s vocalist Lena Scissorhands also offered up some commentary on this track, stating:
“‘Stranger‘ came from the moment when you realize you don’t fully recognize yourself anymore. It’s an inward fight with identity, with the roles you’ve worn for too long, and the distance that grows between who you are and who you think you should be. In the end, it’s about becoming strangers to ourselves, and trying to find the way back.”
The launch of this single takes place days ahead of next week’s kickoff of the European/UK leg of their ‘Mutation Phase Tour‘, which will see them co-headlining with Butcher Babies. Infected Rain said of that:
“‘Stranger‘ is part of the Mutation Phase Infected Rain is entering right now. It’s the sound of Infected Rain pushing forward, leaving comfort behind, and stepping into something sharper and more direct. This song belongs in the setlist for the upcoming EU and U.S. tours because it represents what the band is becoming. The album is still in progress, but we’re proud of where it’s heading and wanted to share a first taste of the next record with everyone already now.”
