Inure is the new album by Until Rain out 28 April 2017 in Europe and May 12 in the US. It was recorded by UNTIL RAIN in various European cities, including Thessaloniki, London, Gothenburg, and Lausanne, and mixed/mastered by Daniel Cardoso of Anathema in Lisbon, Portugal (Anneke Van Giersbergen, Anathema, Head Control System). The album features beautiful artwork by the new Greek artist/designer Nassia Kefala, and a hand-drawn cover that completely represents the concept of the album and the duality of many inured people; appearing lush on the outside, yet they are rotted inside. With nine massive tracks, Inure presents an hour-long journey that you will want to take again and again, the digital release bearing an additional bonus track. With Inure, the band’s first album since 2013’s well received Anthem To Creation finds them exploring the dark world of psychological/emotional abuse, loss, and doubt and it presents the darkest side of UNTIL RAIN thus far. The tempos have slowed, but the soundscape expanded, and as always, a multitude of melodies and hooks will keep you headbanging and singing along to the songs of the album. By being more direct in their songwriting, new vocalist Cons Marg (known for his work with Arjen Lucassen’s Epic Choir) shine, while the rest of the band lays the foundation of some heavy and melodic contemporary prog metal. The two main composers/lyricists of the band, Lef Germenlis and Theodore Amaxopoulos, are surrounded this time by the ingenious bass work of Linus Abrahamson — known for his work with Andromeda and Constancia — the Maltese workaholic-wonder Matthew Vella on drums, and the multitalented Swiss/Thai female singer Donna Zed on backing vocals.
