Invent Animate have premiered a new song titled “Fall Like Rain.” You can check that out below:

Vocalist Marcus Vik commented:

“‘Fall Like Rain‘ is about my lifelong struggle with insomnia and anxiety.

When I quit alcohol a few years ago, my sleeping problems surfaced in a new way. I was forced to confront my restless mind without a way to escape or quiet my thoughts. The line ‘I am a swarming blood red cloud’ is me admitting that I am my own insomnia; it’s the storm of my own thoughts that comes nightly to torment me.

Because there is so much dread in being wide awake, I wanted the vocals to feel raw and desperate. But in the face of these overwhelming feelings, the chant ‘I wasn’t born to be afraid’ is a refusal to be paralyzed by ‘whispers that fall like rain’. The quiet thoughts that get louder and louder until there is a downpour of anxiety and panic. Every night I have to choose to believe there is a place of safety on the other side of that storm.”
