Moldovan modern metal outfit Infected Rain have shared their new single, Bloom, accompanied by a live one-take playthrough video.

Formed in 2008, the group has established an international profile across studio albums including 2019’s Endorphin, 2022’s Ecdysis, and 2024’s Time. Blending progressive metal, metalcore, and nu-metal structures, the new track pairs heavy guitar riffs and electronic textures with vocalist Lena Scissorhands alternating between harsh screams and clean singing. The lyrics examine supporting a close friend’s personal growth despite the resulting emotional distance.

Speaking on the concept behind the track, Lena Scissorhands shared:

“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 is out now, ahead of Infected Rain’s February 2027 European tour supporting Delain and scheduled appearances at Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, and Reload Festival later that year.
