Infected Rain Debut “Stranger” Music Video

Moldovan alternative metal outfit Infected Rain have premiered the official music video for their new single “Stranger,” offering fans an early glimpse into the band’s next creative chapter.

The track explores themes of identity and personal transformation, with vocalist Lena Scissorhands explaining the emotional core behind the song:

“‘Stranger‘ came from the moment when you realize you don’t fully recognize yourself anymore. It’s an inward fight with identity, with the roles you’ve worn for too long, and the distance that grows between who you are and who you think you should be. In the end, it’s about becoming strangers to ourselves, and trying to find the way back.”

The single arrives just days before the launch of the European and UK leg of the band’s ‘Mutation Phase Tour’, where they will co-headline alongside Butcher Babies. Speaking further on the song’s significance, the band described it as a representation of their current artistic evolution:

“‘Stranger‘ is part of the Mutation Phase Infected Rain is entering right now. It’s the sound of Infected Rain pushing forward, leaving comfort behind, and stepping into something sharper and more direct. This song belongs in the setlist for the upcoming EU and U.S. tours because it represents what the band is becoming. The album is still in progress, but we’re proud of where it’s heading and wanted to share a first taste of the next record with everyone already now.”

The upcoming run will span Europe, the UK, and North America, with additional support coming from Black Spikes on the European dates and Stitched Up Heart joining the band for the U.S. leg.
