Infected Rain

Infected Rain from Moldova are a female-fronted, nu-metal/post-hardcore/melodic death metal band from Moldova. They have established themselves as one of the most recognisable modern forces in alternative and nu-metal-infused heavy music. Fronted by the fiercely charismatic Lena Scissorhands, the band blends groove metal heaviness with electronic elements, melodic passages and bursts of raw aggression. Early releases such as ‘Asylum’ (2011) and ‘Embrace Eternity’ (2014) helped them build a following across Eastern Europe, but it was later albums like ‘Ecdysis’ (2022) that steered their sound into a more refined and international direction. Lyrically, they often explore themes of inner struggle, emotional resilience and personal transformation, delivered with a mix of clean and harsh vocals. Known for relentless touring and high-energy performances, Infected Rain have shared the stage with several major modern metal acts and have a reputation for connecting directly with their audience. With the band currently in between albums and embarked on The Mutation Phase Tour, this is the perfect time to watch them morph into the band’s new incarnation for the next album cycle. (#GMM26)
