I had the pleasure of chatting to Lena Scissorhands, the powerhouse behind the vocals and one of the original founding members of the Moldovian Metal band INFECTED RAIN.
We chatted about the importance of working hard in the music industry, learning from past experiences and the positive effects music has on your mental health. We reflected on our personal journeys during the COVID-19 pandemic, how we battled through the loneliness we faced and also gave thanks to each and every key worker that helped to keep us safe and provided essential services to keep the world turning. Lena Scissorhands mentioned that she would love to play alongside HACKTIVIST, what a line up that would be. I absolutely loved chatting to her and learnt so much from this wonderful lady! I just wish I looked half as good as she does, I love her unique style!
We even got a little bit nerdy and at one point Pickett The Bowtruckle from Fantastic Beasts even made a guest appearance on her most prized possession her money tree which we affectionately named Michaela!
INFECTED RAIN have just released their sixth album on February 9th calledTIME. Described by the multinational band as “an homage to every fleeting second, every heartbeat, and every breath that has led us to this moment”
TIME, takes you on a musical journey with effectively-placed progressive, electronic and even nu-metal features amid ethereal passages.
Track number one “BECAUSE I LET YOU” bursts in with undeniable energy,boasting aggressive lyrics and Lena Scissorhands’ swift, menacing delivery.
TIME ends in a state of calm with ambient finisher “A SECOND OR A THOUSAND YEARS” - drawing the curtains closed on yet another fantastic, experimental expedition by rising stars INFECTED RAIN.
A firm favourite of mine is their track called "LIGHTHOUSE" and this is what the band themselves have to say about the track
From the shores of our minds to the reality of our lives, ‘LIGHTHOUSE’ represents a power that we hold inside of us. This track reminds us that the universe dances to the rhythm of our thoughts. All our thoughts are waves in the endless galaxy of creation. It‘s a call to stay strong, to remain devoted to your dreams, and to realize the potential of what you can create. In the grand clockwork of TIME, every second is a chance to surf through your reality, shaping it with the power of your mind. Join us on this journey through TIME, where each song is a tick towards a reality crafted by you, for you.
Having played alongside bands such as Butcher Babies, Wednesday 13 and a plethora of other bands they really are heading to orbit thee music scene!
Their tour supporting Dragonforce and Amaranthe kicks off at the end of this month in Germany so be sure to try and get to see them, you are in for a real treat!
