BRAINDRAG To Release New Album: Coure Roent

5 Jul

Barcelona’s rising stars in the metal scene, BRAINDRAG, are ready to make waves with their debut album, Coure Roent, available worldwide through Wormholedeath Records on July 12, 2024. This new release marks a turning point for the band, solidifying their unique sound and expanding their reach to audiences around the world.

One of the standout tracks from the album, "Try Not To Fall," has a lyric video that underscores the song’s message: staying grounded and true to oneself, no matter the obstacles. This anthem of resilience encourages listeners to harness their inner strength and keep pursuing their dreams.

A Journey of Determination and Evolution

Formed in 2013 by guitarist Enric GS, BRAINDRAG quickly earned a reputation as a dynamic force in Barcelona's metal community. Despite lineup changes, the band steadily progressed, with Enric's vision leading the charge. BRAINDRAG’s transformation reached a new height when Mireia Pérez joined as the lead vocalist in 2019, elevating the band’s sound and setting the stage for a fresh level of professionalism.

After dropping the well-received EP Atreverme and performing with groups like Icestorm and Deldrac, BRAINDRAG’s momentum was briefly halted by the pandemic. However, they returned to the studio in 2023, releasing singles "Salta," "Try Not To Fall," and "Rhapsody," which built anticipation for Coure Roent.

This year, BRAINDRAG joined legendary Elisa C. Martin on tour, bringing their performances to venues across Catalonia, including the famed Sala Wolf in Barcelona. Their unique style — a blend of powerful riffs, soul-stirring melodies, and innovative electronic touches — has captured fans and critics alike.

A Unique Sound That Defies Labels

With Coure Roent, BRAINDRAG introduces an album that defies traditional genre boundaries. Described as alternative metal, the album features both progressive and melodic elements, creating a sound that is as sensitive as it is powerful, blending hard-hitting riffs with touches of electronic influence and even classical undertones. This ambitious fusion delivers a distinctive listening experience that is as soulful as it is intense — an authentic project that stands out in today’s metal landscape.

Reflecting on their journey and partnership with Wormholedeath Records, BRAINDRAG shared, “We are very excited to become part of the Wormholedeath family. Coure Roent was a major artistic challenge, and we’re thrilled that the album will reach listeners worldwide with Wormholedeath’s support. Their belief in BRAINDRAG has fueled our determination to keep evolving and creating music that reflects who we are.”
