After a comeback year that has seen them join the Century Media Records family, as well as celebrate 15 years of their sophomore album The Enemy Inside, coldrain have announced their next studio LP OPTIMIZE = OPTDEMISE. The record, which will contain the entirety of last year's OPTIMIZE EP as well as seven new songs, is set to release on September 25th.
To mark the occasion, the band have dropped a new single in "Ex-Humanity," an energetic and urgent anthem of the end times and the unraveling of society.
Check out the music video for "Ex-Humanity" below:
