MODERN METAL FROM MOLDOVA

The Motocultor package will again tour European clubs and halls in 2025. The headliner is the Moldovan metal band Infected Rain. The band, led by the multitalented frontwoman Lena Scissorhands, electrifies with captivating riffs, cosmic electronics, Lena's vocal diversity, and intense lyrical themes. On the "Motocultor Across Europe Tour 2025," they will share the stage with the Brazilian vampire metal formation Semblant, the French nu-goth project Elyose, as well as Miruthan and Skin On Flesh.

Until 2008, Moldova was an unknown entity on the international metal map. But since then, one band has been tirelessly working to change that. Infected Rain has given a voice to Moldovan metal with six excellent albums. And that voice is extremely versatile. Singer Lena Scissorhands masters all facets of the genre – from hell-deep growls to heavenly clean vocals. Her band confidently accompanies her through their varied modern metal repertoire. Influences from bands like Korn, Deftones, or Kittie are undeniable but are refreshed in distinct compositions and transformed into compelling songs. Celebrated by the music press, with hundreds of thousands of streams and digital calls, worldwide shows on major festival stages, and tours with stars like Butcher Babies or Wednesday 13, the band has become indispensable in the modern metal scene. On February 9, 2024, Infected Rain took it a step further with their new studio album "Time." Described by the band as "a tribute to every fleeting second, every heartbeat, and every breath that has brought us to this moment," "Time" was once again produced, mixed, and mastered by Valentin Voluta. The work skillfully unites the exceptional talents of the returning Vidick (guitar, cover art), drummer Eugene Voluta, and frontwoman Lena Scissorhands, while also introducing the new bassist Alice Lane. On "Time," Infected Rain impresses with their well-known trademarks and tastefully accentuates the introspective musical journey with effectively placed progressive, electronic, and even nu metal elements. The tracks are not only musically rich but often shine with socially and societally critical lyrics that invite careful listening.
