One of the most anticipated albums on my personal radar, Time, by Infected Rain is a few weeks away. With that date pushing close, the band has released their fourth single, “Vivarium”, along with the accompanying video.
The band says this about the song,
“‘Vivarium’ is about feeling trapped in a world we’ve built ourselves. A perfect world full of illusion, gimmicks and fake promises, like a beautiful but restricting glass garden.It’s about overcoming these barriers, and seeing through the thick air and tall walls. This song is for everyone trying to break free from their own limits and create their own path.”
Vocalist Lena Scissorhands ability to be 50% angel and 50% demon and 100% badass with her vocals is spotlighted in “Vivarium” along with lush synths, thundering bass lines, heavy guitars, and brutal drums, the song captures that emotion and feeling of being trapped within one’s minds.
With no facade, Infected Rain continue to step comfortably into their authenticity with “Vivarium”.
