INFECTED RAIN have released their new single, ‘Bloom’, accompanied by a live one-take performance video. Exploring the experience of watching someone you care about forge their own path and the changing distance between you along the way, the track sees the band bringing deeply personal emotions into their modern metal sound.

At its heart, the song is about watching someone you care about grow, accepting the distance that comes with that change, and putting their happiness ahead of your own hurt. Vocalist Lena Scissorhands explains the emotional core of ‘Bloom’:

“‘Bloom’ is a reflection on caring deeply for someone and watching them grow, even when that growth creates distance. It’s about choosing joy for the people we love as they follow their dreams, rather than taking that distance personally. Sometimes focusing on a goal means having less space for those who once stood right beside us. But that doesn’t erase the bond. ‘Bloom’ embraces that shift, finding happiness in someone else’s growth, even if it’s from a little farther away.”

Musically, ‘Bloom’ is built around modern progressive metal, prominent guitar riffs, atmospheric arrangements and synth work. Lena Scissorhands stands out with a vocal performance that shifts between ferocious screams and clean vocals. The single is accompanied by a live performance video captured in a single take.

Formed in Moldova in 2008, INFECTED RAIN have developed their sound through a blend of progressive metal, metalcore, nu metal and alternative metal across albums such as Endorphin (2019), Ecdysis (2022) and TIME (2024). With ‘Bloom’, the band continues along this path while embracing a more personal narrative.

‘Bloom’ is available now on digital platforms.

INFECTED RAIN will take their new single to the stage in February 2027, joining Dutch symphonic metal band DELAIN for a European tour. Covering Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, the German leg includes stops in Cologne, Bremen, Berlin, Leipzig, Karlsruhe, Munich and Frankfurt.
