Moldovan metal band Infected Rain has released the official music video for its new single “Stranger.” The track offers the first glimpse into the band’s upcoming musical chapter and marks the beginning of a new creative phase for the group as it continues to evolve its sound.
“‘Stranger’ came from the moment when you realize you don’t fully recognize yourself anymore.,” vocalist Lena Scissorhands said. “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 release arrives just days before the band hits the road for the Mutation Phase tour across Europe and the U.K., co-headlining alongside Butcher Babies.
“‘Stranger’ is part of the Mutation Phase Infected Rain is entering right now,” the band said. “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 set list for the upcoming E.U. 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.”
Infected Rain has release six full-length studio albums to date, the most recent of which, “Time,” came out in 2024.
