coldrain have announced their eighth studio album OPTIMIZE = OPTDEMISE, due for release on 25th September 2026 via Century Media Records.
“EX-HUMANITY is a song built on contrast,” explains vocalist Masato. “Musically, it’s energetic, powerful and alive. Lyrically, it’s intentionally simple, static and full of despair. That contrast reflects the tension between what it means to be human and what we could become if we lose the things that make us who we are. Is this song a cry for hope or a requiem for humanity. My hope is it will not be the latter.”
In light of the announcement, coldrain have also released a video for their new single EX-HUMANITY.
