Japanese alt-metal powerhouse coldrain returned to London after six years with a performance that was nothing short of electrifying. Playing Camden’s Electric Ballroom, the band brought their blend of post-hardcore, metalcore and alternative metal/rock, delivering a set full of fire, sweat and adrenaline.

From dropping three brand-new tracks to embarking on a nationwide tour with their message front and center, Japanese rock powerhouse coldrain has been keeping excitement levels high. Today, the quintet finally unveils their new EP, OPTIMIZE, a five-track offering that channels the band’s defiant stance against a hyper-polished, overly streamlined world. It’s a rallying cry to live authentically, not as someone else’s imitation, but as your raw, imperfect, and fully alive self.

Japanese rock powerhouse coldrain unleashes their electrifying new single ‘Chasing Shadows’, just in time for their upcoming tour and festival appearances across Germany this August. Driven by the unmistakable vocal intensity of frontman Masato, the track channels a potent fusion of melody and aggression, showcasing the band’s signature sound with raw emotion delivered in both English and Japanese.
