Invent Animate Release New Single “Fall Like Rain” And Official Visualizer

Atmospheric metalcore trailblazers Invent Animate have dropped their new single “Fall Like Rain” and the official visualizer, their latest release of original music since 2023’s full-length album ‘Heavener’ (via UNFD). When asked about the inspiration behind the track, vocalist Marcus Vik shared:

“‘Fall Like Rain’ is about my lifelong struggle with insomnia and anxiety.

When I quit alcohol a few years ago, my sleeping problems surfaced in a new way. I was forced to confront my restless mind without a way to escape or quiet my thoughts. The line ‘I am a swarming blood red cloud’ is me admitting that I am my own insomnia; it’s the storm of my own thoughts that comes nightly to torment me.

Because there is so much dread in being wide awake, I wanted the vocals to feel raw and desperate. But in the face of these overwhelming feelings, the chant ‘I wasn’t born to be afraid’ is a refusal to be paralyzed by ‘whispers that fall like rain’. The quiet thoughts that get louder and louder until there is a downpour of anxiety and panic. Every night I have to choose to believe there is a place of safety on the other side of that storm.”

North American fans will also be able to see the band’s incredible live show on the Lonely God Tour starting May 1, with Fit For A King, Ten56, and Acres, followed up by an Australian run with I Prevail and Imminence in June (tickets available here).
