As they gear up for their dates in the UK and Europe at the end of this year, Japanese metallers Coldrain have released a new single, Chasing Shadows, and promised a new EP ahead of the tour.

Optimize will come ahead of the tour, with a date yet to be revealed. Speaking on the track, singer Masato explains that, ”This song was inspired by tales of people who questioned the values and rules they were given, and try to find the truth for themselves.

"I wanted to share how important it is to explore and understand each other, instead of easily moving toward conflict or anger. Even if the world feels closed off, the fire inside us can’t be put out. It’s a message to keep taking small steps forward, even when we feel lost.”

The band hit the UK on November 22, playing Manchester Ritz, and London's Electric Ballroom the following night. Full dates below.
