coldrain Ignite Osaka With Explosive HAZIKETEMAZARE FESTIVAL 2025 Performances of "Cut Me" and "Chasing Shadows"

Japanese post-hardcore heavyweights coldrain have shared live footage of “Cut Me” and “Chasing Shadow” from HAZIKETEMAZARE FESTIVAL 2025, held in Osaka, Japan. The sold-out festival spanned two days, with coldrain taking the stage on October 25, the first night of the event, in front of a fiercely devoted hometown crowd.

From the opening seconds of “Cut Me,” the intensity is immediate. Not one, but two massive walls of death explode as soon as the song kicks in, setting the tone for controlled chaos. The crowd repeats the ritual twice more between sections, turning the floor into a relentless surge of motion and impact.

“Chasing Shadow” opens with the audience chanting in unison before the band fully launches into the track, creating a powerful call-and-response moment. Crowd surfers flood the pit as the song unfolds, with the Osaka audience proving just how deeply engaged and reactive a home-soil crowd can be.

These performances once again highlight coldrain’s commanding live presence. Captured in a sold-out festival environment, the footage shows a band perfectly in sync with their audience—feeding off the energy, amplifying it, and delivering a post-hardcore live experience built for mass participation and chaos.
