This Friday, February 9 marks the release of female fronted band INFECTED RAIN's already acclaimed sixth modern progressive metal opus, TIME, via Napalm Records!
Following their most successful album to date, 2022's Ecdysis - which garnered prime media acclaim, hundreds of thousands of streams and views, and debuted in the Top 20 on the US Current Hard Music charts - INFECTED RAIN climbs even higher with TIME. On the album, INFECTED RAIN exercise their trademarks, tastefully accenting the introspective musical journey with effectively-placed progressive, electronic and even nu-metal features amid ethereal passages. The album was once again produced, mixed and mastered by Valentin Voluta, and combines the deft talents of returning members Vidick (guitars, cover artist), Eugene Voluta (drums) and famed frontwoman Lena Scissorhands (vocals), plus introduces new member Alice Lane (bass) to the fold.
I sat down with charismatic singer Lena who was fresh off the boat of 70000 Tons of Metal to discuss the album, performing deeply personal songs, and going on tour with Amaranthe and Dragonforce!

Incredibly beautiful and classy woman. The whole band is awesome.
🤘🤘
I caught the 70K show in the Star Lounge. They sounded great! Their performance of Because I Let You was extremely powerful and moving. You could tell that the song really affected Lena. I can’t express how much it means for artists like her to relive these moments in their lives for the benefit of their audience.
Thank you for sharing that! What was your favorite song in that set?
@@BelgianJasper honestly, I’m terrible with song names, plus I had a few drinks in me by that point, lol. But, Because I Let You really stood out because she said it was the first time they were playing it live and described how it affects her emotionally. The entire show was killer, and a great start to the cruise.
@@aibdrummer Have you ever heard of Korn - Daddy? That song by far, is one of the most emotional I've ever heard an artist get. Like, Jonathan Davis released that song in 1994, and refused to play it live because of just how painful it was until 2015, I think he's only played it like 1 or 2 more times? And he had a mental breakdown even on stage performing it... even in the song itself, he kept the last 3-4 minutes included in the song which was him literally breaking down in the studio. Kudos to Jonathan, though, he's such an amazing man.
When you can feel the songwriters emotions through their music, there is nothing more pure and beautiful to me.
👊👊👊
I've only found Lena about a year ago, and, I don't regret it. I listened to almost all of her music, even her other band, Death Dealer Union. She's an insanely beautiful soul, I absolutely love how down to earth and sweet she is, and I also love her extended fangs! I heard the new album and it was just simply amazing, "Because I Let You" really struck me, like whoever hurt this amazing woman, they shall be condemned for eternity. But outside of the pain from that song, I'm speechless with how the music video for "Because I Let You", like, I can't tell if the stomach ripped open was a CGI edit or if she wore one of those like... idk what they're called, whatever that special material people use for face masks where they make it seem like your skin is ripping off and bloody, you know what I'm trying to say lol 😅🤣 but anyway, I'm so happy to be a fan of them! Right now my favorite female led powerhouses in metal are (not in any specific order): Spiritbox, JINJER, IN THIS MOMENT, INFECTED RAIN/Death Dealer Union, and Face Yourself. It amazes me to hear a woman be able to actually tap into their false chord and sound damn near close to a male's voice. I always used to just hear Fry screams coming from women :D I would add CEREBRAL BORE to the list, but, they've been disbanned for a few years now soo.
Thanks for sharing all of that! There's a lot of epic women in the scene these days and that's a great evolution 👊
Great interview! The segment on 'Because I Let You' is fantastic.
Thanks for that comment! What do you think of the new album?
I saw the first show on 70k and she and the band were amazing! Loved it!!!!
That must have been a great experience 🤘🤘🤘 what was your favorite show of the festival?
Lena is an incredible and humble and beautiful talent and quickly becoming a powerhouse frontwoman and a favourite of mine, Jasper.
This band is gonna make big waves. Hope they can do a lot of touring.
They're joining Amaranthe and DragonForce for a Euro tour first, hope you can see them soon!
@@BelgianJasper Oooh yes, hope they play UK then..
I liked your question about singing a painful song, I alwayls think with myself if I'll be able to do it, and the answer of Lena was just humble and sincere. Nice interview👏🏻
Thanks for sharing that
Really good inteview dude! I think this new album is their best yet 🤘
Awesome! What is your favorite song so far?
@@BelgianJasper Tough one - maybe Pandemonium at the moment
I gotta give you props man. You did great getting to the point and formulating deep and thoughtful questions.
Glad you liked the interview!
yea man good job
Lena is a great talent !
👊👊👊
I saw you as opener for Dragonforce and Amaranthe in Oberhausen. Although this type of metal is not my favorite, you completely convinced me and most of the other fans. Elena is really impressive.
🤘🤘🤘
Lena is such a beautiful soul.
🤘 have you checked out the new album yet?
@@BelgianJasper
I'm expecting it this Thursday. I've only heard 5 songs from it, so much of it will be a surprise. I got Death Dealer Union last fall, and have listened to it dozens of times. Highly recommend.
@@RussInCanada awesome, that'll be a fun time Thursday 👊👊👊
@@BelgianJasper
Got it today!
@@RussInCanada awesome!!
people never forget how “it went” or “how they are treated” and that’s without a doubt.
I donno bout anyone else but, seems to me (I do not kno her in days other than what I do)..
but to me.. that’s a form of “breaking the chains” so to speak.
I wish I could get this comment out the way I would like but, oh well
lol
Great Band
Unfortunately Infected Rain is not my cup of coffee musically, but this interview was really interesting.
I only would like to say, as for me things that happened in my life and affected me really strong in many ways, I can somehow forget them, at some point let them go, but never forgive. And the second thing, seeing emotions of the artists on stage is pricless. Maybe for some crying it's not beautiful (yeah, we look rather ugly while crying), but it means that music/lyrics was not written, because "we need to record something", but there is more behind the scenes, something real and I always appreciate this.
Thank you for sharing that! I appreciate you watching the interview with an open mind even if you don't particularly like the music (with 700 videos on the channel or so, I don't expect anyone to like all the artists' music 👊😉)
@@BelgianJasper I mean I like heavy music (and not only), so looks like I need to check other videos 👊🏻
@@peoplenotabigfan.2008 have an amazing time exploring 👊😉
Lena a l'air tellement fragile, et elle parle avec une telle franchise...respect total ! Encore une fois, Jasper, tu sors des questions traditionnelles et tu t'aventures même sur le terrain de la psychologie... Il faut bcp de finesse pour cela ! Belle interrview, comme tjs !
(P.S. : mon nouveau coup de coeur musical est assez... Inattendu : Slaughter to prevail. J'ai cherché si tu avais interviewé Alex, rien trouvé. Peut-être à l'avenir ?😀)
That's quite the musical turn from Sabaton to Slaughter to Prevail 😅 no interview yet, no...
Merci beaucoup!!
@@BelgianJasper and to play, in classroom on friday afternoon (when students are over over overexcuted), some gentle ambient music like Fairy musics or so ...believe it or not, that CALMS DOWN the 'monsters' ! ! !😉
@@karinekmk9293 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great interview
Thanks! What did you think of their new album?
What happened to lena and the meaning of that song? Did she say?
She did not say specifically but the song appears to be inspired by both trauma from her childhood in a broken home and her unhealthy marriage that ended a few years ago
@@BelgianJasper oh wow I had no idea she was ever married!
