Rising stars newshapes are back with new music in the form of single ‘the rain’. The song, which kick starts a new chapter of the band, delivers a powerful blend of heartfelt melodies, huge choruses and modern metalcore riffage all wrapped up in a shiny produced package.

Speaking about the new single newshapes vocalist Ian Mann comments, “the rain is the start of a new chapter. It discusses thoughts of suicide and self-loathing. ‘All said and done, I f***ing despise me… Framed as a conversation between two versions of myself: one idealistic version of who I believe I use to be and another that has fully embraced my own loneliness. My world and head are on fire and no matter what I put in place this made-up “perfect me” is helpless to stop it burning and begs for almost an act of god to step in: “the rain”.”
