Fronted by vocalist David Häusermann, guitarist and vocalist Mauro Gugerli, guitarist Tristan Meier, bassist Loris De Notaristefano and drummer Michael Teufelberger, the band‘s dedication to their craft and the sheer passion they exude leaves no doubt that their future is bright.

‘Crown Of Thorns’ promises to be a compelling addition to the Vicious Rain‘s growing catalog, showcasing the band‘s emotional depth and raw power. Following the path paved by their second single ‘Blackout’, the Swiss quintet showcase their unwavering commitment to expressing raw emotions, pouring their heart and soul into every note.

‘Crown Of Thorns’ echoes the notion that evading one’s challenges can lead to greater troubles, ultimately exacerbating the situation. Yet, it also sparks an awakening to face the uncertainties, initiating a path towards healing and self-exploration.” says guitarist and vocalist Mauro Gugerli.

“‘Crown Of Thorns’ is an introspective anthem. It channels the raw frustration of grappling with personal stagnation and the difficulty of changing for the better. It‘s a poignant reflection on the challenge of holding onto memories of better times while recognising that toxic patterns can affect one‘s own mental well-being.“ – David Häusermann (vocals)

Formed in late 2022, Vicious Rain are an alternative metalcore band hailing from Baden, Switzerland. The group combine intertwined singing/screaming vocals with anthemic singalongs, screaming melodic leads and crushing breakdowns, as they embrace everything from the heavy side of the genre all the way to the more intimate melodies. The band‘s spirit is marked by their shared belief in the importance of solidarity, and the role of the individual accomplishment of a common vision. Lyrically, the Swiss quintet wholeheartedly express their stance on personal matters, while highlighting their belief that self-reflection is the key to growth.

The future looks promising for the quintet.

The song sets in motion a thematic narrative where a character trapped in a parallel reality realizes they are reliving the same moments over and over again. The atmosphere of the song evokes a sense of distress brought about by uncertainty, and as the album progresses, relief remains elusive. The single is released on the 30th of November.
