COLDRAIN Take Fans Behind The Chaos On ‘EU/UK TOUR 2025 OPTIMIZE PART 2’ Vlog

Japanese post-hardcore powerhouse COLDRAIN continue their relentless campaign for their new EP Optimize with the release of EU/UK TOUR 2025 OPTIMIZE PART 2, the second chapter documenting their massive 17-date European and UK run. Joined by fellow Japanese act NOISEMAKER—performing in the region for the first time—and Paris-based metalcore outfit Revnoir, the band pull back the curtain on life on the road, from explosive live moments to raw, unfiltered downtime.

The vlog opens on a rare night off in Antwerp, where the band explores the city after dark and unexpectedly crosses paths with Revnoir and crew at a local English pub. The following day shifts gears at TRIX, capturing venue arrival, soundcheck, backstage banter—including playful moments involving a banana—and a candid look at tour catering. In a spontaneous highlight, the band perform Gone after a fan holds up the song title on paper mid-show, granting a wish that wasn’t even on the setlist.

Momentum surges as the tour rolls into Paris for a blistering night at Le Trabendo, where wall-of-death chaos and pure mayhem erupt. In Cologne, the band balances soundcheck with a visit to the iconic Cologne Cathedral before delivering another packed-out performance. Hamburg follows with German lessons for vocalist Masato from tour manager Dajo to sharpen crowd interaction, more walls of death in an intimate venue setting, and heartfelt fan reactions. A day off in the city includes a relaxed lunch outing and a visit to the final show of Electric Callboy.

The vlog concludes in Amsterdam, beginning with soundcheck and late-day city exploration, including a stop at a local cheese shop for some adventurous tastings. The final show doesn’t go entirely as planned when vocalist Masato falls ill, but true to form, COLDRAIN refuse to back down. Pushing through adversity, they deliver a powerful performance that proves exactly why their global fanbase continues to grow. On and off the stage, EU/UK TOUR 2025 OPTIMIZE PART 2 captures a band at full throttle—human, relentless, and unstoppable.
