coldrain release new song ‘POISON’

COLDRAIN have released a new single!

The Japanese metalcore outfit have unveiled POISON, the latest single to be taken from their upcoming eighth studio album, OPTIMIZE = OPTDEMISE, which is scheduled for release on September 25th via Century Media Records.

The new track features a guest appearance from THE USED vocalist Bert McCracken, marking a collaboration years in the making after the two bands previously toured together in Australia in 2023.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist Masato shares, “POISON is a song about love and desire, about how something, or someone, you love can become so addictive that it’s easy to lose yourself in it. Trying to find the right dosage of that love, enough to satisfy you without letting it consume you, feels like one of the most human struggles there is.

The song also features killer vocals from the one and only Bert McCracken of The Used, one of our all-time favourite singers. His signature voice brings a rawness and emotional intensity to the track that makes POISON feel like a timeless emo masterpiece.”
