Infected Rain has released a brand new single, “Fighter”, the single dropped today accompanied by a new music video. The band’s new impassioned single has been released with an equally intense music video. The video depicts themes heard within the single’s lyrical content whilst curating an artistic aesthetic.

The new single’s press release has provided the following statement, “Today, INFECTED RAIN follows up with intense second single, “Fighter”! The aggressive new track showcases the most brutal side of the band, bringing out their ruthlessness in full force with a hardcore-influenced tornado of rhythms and provoking lyricism.”
Frontwoman Lena Scissorhands has also provided the following description for “Fighter”, “Inspired by strong women who never give up, Fighter is a reminder of the here and now! Fighter is a reminder of strength and potential. Today right now, all you’ve got is this!”. The singer also speaks on the upcoming album, “While the whole world was in a deep depression, Ecdysis was slowly but surely maturing. The time in isolation away from all our plans and goals, away from loved ones and the stage, brought out something so new and different in us. A new chapter starts with this album, a chapter of raw emotions and complete commitment.”
The new track is the second single to be taken from the upcoming album Ecdysis, the band’s fifth studio album is set to be released on 7th January 2022. The album will be released via Napalm Records, an Austrian independent record label that specialises in all forms of heavy metal and rock music. The label boasts a roster of some of rock’s most popular acts including Andrew W.K, Hoobastank and Alterbridge frontman Myles Kennedy.
The press release provides the following description for the groups eagerly anticipated new release, “Ecdysis successfully demonstrates ultramodern brutality without sacrificing emotion and melody – showcasing a new layer of INFECTED RAIN that longtime followers and new fans alike will embrace.”
In October the forthcoming album’s first single “Postmortem pt 1” was released, the track was also released with a stirring music video. Much like “Fighter”, the album’s first single also contains thought-provoking lyrical content. The single deals with topics of depression and abandonment and take the listener through an emotional journey filled with catchy guitar licks. Both singles provide a musical snapshot into the band’s first full release since 2019 album Endorphin, the new album is produced by long-term collaborator Valentin Voluta.
