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."
