CORRODED is a heavy metal band from Ånge, Sweden. The break came in 2009 with the song Time And Again and debut album 'Eleven Shades of Black'. Since then they've released four more albums, toured relentlessly (including several European tours, both on their own and as support for bands like Airbourne), had the théme song for the Swedish TV show Survivor (Expedition Robinson in Sweden) and music in the globally popular video game Battlefield. Their latest (5th) album 'Bitter' was released in 2019, was followed by a European tour and ended the year with a slight change in line-up (long time member Tomas Andersson left the band).
As for most bands, the pandemic hit hard, but the band dug themselves into a black hole and recorded their sixth album - 'Plague'. They comment:
”-We’ve got 5 ”children”...each and everyone as much important as the other ones…but this one is our lovechild, our very special ”late bloomer” or ”trailing child”, born out of the anxiety and boredom of the plague…and, except from mastering, all done by ourselves…welcome to the dark soul of CORRODED..enjoy the ride.."
The third and last taste of the new album is the single 'Rain'. The singer/guitarist Jens Westin writes:
- "Rain is like beauty and the beast. On one hand you have these simple yet beautiful vocal parts that almost rock you to sleep like a lullaby, and on the other hand you have a hellhound that will chase you to death. In short it is a song by CORRODED.”
CORRODED's new single Rain is released October 13 on Despotz Records, their new album Plague is released November 17th.
