coldrain - OPTIMIZE = OPTDEMISE (2026) Hi-Res

One of Japan’s biggest rock bands is making its return with their highly anticipated eighth album: coldrain will release “OPTIMIZE = OPTDEMISE” this September. While the name may still be new to some, the Japanese quintet has been active since 2007, building an extensive international touring history alongside the release of seven studio albums to date. Having toured with artists such as ONE OK ROCK, Papa Roach, The Used, Bullet for My Valentine, and Electric Callboy, coldrain have long claimed their place on the global stage within the alternative metal scene. Selling out arenas across their home country of Japan and showcasing their strong musicality repeatedly, the band continues to prove itself as one of the most underestimated forces in the international alternative metal scene.
