Infected Rain has named “Time” their sixth studio album and the Moldavians are ready to make history after their self-claimed most successful era which was 2022 to 2023.
’Because I Let You’ is a showcase of this modern metal band. This song has ups and downs, heavy and light contrasts, synth and electronic elements, and much more. This is what they have been doing and perfecting since 2008. ’Dying Light’ is a straightforward song and has so many satisfying contrasts. The atmosphere can change suddenly, but still, it feels natural. A two-face track is ’ Never To Return’ and ’Lighthouse’. A compelling choice of sounds leads to an intriguing vibe whether its intensity. ’The Answer Is You’ has several cool effects and layers. With proper headphones or speakers, this will resonate in your head, and it will be stuck for the rest of the day, in a good way. The intriguing vibe is strong in ’Vivarium’. Growls and screams are highlighted as always and synths are on the pitch. ’Pandemonium’ has its glow. A fast-paced track that is the perfect sample of what this album is all about. ’Enmity’ is performed with full groove and rage. EDM and synth wave is strong in this one, but djent guitar can bring the heaviness to the maximum. Contrasts are conflicted in ’Unpredictable’. It is a clash of energies that at this point is quite addictive. ’Game Of Blame’ starts with an angelic keyboard, voice and drums. Slowly, but surely it will become an obscure tune. ’Paura’ is in Italian and English. The artist wants to induce the audience into a path to self-discovery. This song is beyond imagination and is perfect for introspection. ’A Second Or Thousand Years’ is an instrumental song, and it is a shame that only lasts 2:48. One can hear it through the night or a long journey.
As Infected Rain says the album “Time” is ’an introspective musical journey with effectively-placed progressive, electronic and even nu-metal features amid ethereal passages’. This is a musical voyage that has been evolving and maturing for more than 15 years. If a twisted modern metal is what you seek, you came to the right place.
