Band Review: coldrain (Japan)

Heyho! Long time no post, guys!
Now I'm back to review a band, amazing band called coldrain!

coldrain - Vena


coldrain (コールドレイン Kōrudorein) is a rock band from Japan, precisely from Nagoya prefecture. Their genres come around post-hardcore, metalcore, alternative metal, and screamo (but I guess it's post-hardcore mainly). coldrain formed in 2007 with their original members who last until now, they are:

Masato David Hayakawa (マサト Masato) as lead vocals
Yokochi (ヨコチ Y.K.C) as lead guitars and programming
Kazuya Sugiyama (スギ Sugi) as rythm guitars and backing vocals
Ryo Shimizu (リョウ RxYxO) as bass and backing vocals
Katsuma Minatani (カツマ Katsuma) as drums.

coldrain has four studio albums already. Their first album, Final Destination, came out in October 2009. The second album, The Enemy Inside, came out in February 2011. The Revelation then came out in April 2013. The forth album, Vena, came out in October 2015.

Vena, their latest album, is one of my favorite album in 2015. This album consists of eleven tracks including the song 'Runaway' which Papa Roach's vocalist took part of. The track listing is:


No. Title Length
1. "Vena"   0:58
2. "Wrong"   3:32
3. "Divine"   3:36
4. "Gone"   4:12
5. "Words of the Youth"   3:31
6. "The Story"   4:09
7. "Whole"   3:45
8. "Runaway" (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) 3:46
9. "Pretty Little Liar"   3:46
10. "Heart of the Young"   3:48
11. "Fire in the Sky"   3:24

I like almost all of the songs in this album. Well, I could say they did a really great great job with this album (It's also the reason why I fallen for them now!). The melodic and the drum's beats blend perfectly with Masato's vocal which very fluently in English. All of the songs are in English, by the way. No wonder, Masato is half Japanese and half American! xD

My favorite among favorites is The Story. Not only due to the music, but the lyrics too. I'm always enjoying my time to sing that song. But once again, I like almost -I guess now all- of the tracks tho.

Well I guess that's enough for tonight. If you curious about this band, just go to Youtube and listen to few of their songs. I bet they're worth listening! Just believe in me ;)

Good night! Boo-yah~
