Mastered by Mike Karagian, *OPTIMIZE=OPTDEMISE* delivers 12 tracks featuring a perfect balance of heavy, aggressive vocals, stadium-worthy melodies, and the high-energy intensity that Japanese rock bands are known for. Additionally, the track “POISON” features Bert McCracken of The Used, making for an enticing collaboration for fans of the loud rock scene.\nWith this release, the five-piece Japanese band further solidifies the strengths they have proven and honed over nearly 20 years since their formation. Fusing explosive energy and arena-caliber songwriting with a distinctive international edge, this album not only reaffirms coldrain’s identity but also elevates it to a whole new level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53173314126113,"sku":"4547366841145","price":5940.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4547366841145.jpg?v=1785654230","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4547366841145","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
