context_page_description: Coldrain is a Japanese rock band from Nagoya, Japan, formed in 2007. The band mixes melodic singing with screams typical of the post-hardcore genre. Although the band is Japanese, all their songs are written in English. The lineup consists of lead vocalist Masato Hayakawa, guitarists Ryo Yokochi and Kazuya Sugiyama, bassist Ryo Shimizu and drummer Katsuma Minatani.
  Masato Hayakawa has a Japanese father and an American mother and speaks both Japanese and English. The band's first two albums, Final Destination and The Enemy Inside, were both released exclusively in their home country of Japan. The group made their worldwide debut in 2014 with the reissue of The Revelation, which was previously released in 2013 under the label VAP, with the worldwide edition being released under Hopeless Records and Sony Music.
  Coldrain would later release Vena and Fateless. Their sixth studio album The Side Effects was released on August 28, 2019. They are best known for their songs "Gone", "Mayday", "Coexist", "Die Tomorrow", "No Escape", "The Revelation", "Envy" and "Feed the Fire".
context_section_description: In December 2013, Coldrain signed a record deal with Raw Power Management, a British company with many international bands to its name, including Bullet for My Valentine, Bring Me the Horizon, Of Mice & Men and Crossfaith. This allowed the group to go on a European tour with Bullet for My Valentine and Chiodos between February and March. Subsequent headline dates were also announced for the United Kingdom, along with the European release of the EP Through Clarity on 27 January, with free download of the song "Inside of Me" if the EP was preordered.
  On 21 February, they announced release of the DVD The Score 2007-2013. 
  On 18 January they recorded a live show called "One Man Show Evolve" for their second DVD, Evolve, which was released on 30 April of the same year. 
  The album was also available on Blu-ray Disc, for the first time for the group.
  During the same period came the news that coldrain would be performing at Rock am Ring, Rock im Park and Download Festival 2014 in June 2014.
  On 9 April, the announcement came that coldrain had signed a contract with the American based label Hopeless Records for a new edition of their third studio album, The Revelation, which would be released worldwide (except Asia, New Zealand, and Australia) for the first time. On the same day Hopeless released the eponymous single, "The Revelation". 
  At the announcement of the international release of The Revelation, the singer Masato Hayakawa wrote:
  "It's hard to put in words how excited and proud we are that The Revelation will be released Worldwide. The dream we've had ever since we started playing music is finally coming true. I can't wait for everyone to hear the songs, learn the words and sing them with us live. We are grateful for the many fans in our homeland that have supported us in becoming the band we are today. Without them this would have been impossible. This step will be the biggest in our careers and we couldn't be more ready."
   
  The international edition of the album was subsequently released on 23 June in Europe, and 24 June in North America. On 18 June they also released their third EP, Until the End in Japan. The EP contains 6 new tracks, 5 of which were also included in the international edition of The Revelation, which was released by Hopeless Records in June 2014 in Europe and North America. The band also announced the album's release in Australia, scheduled for 8 August of the same year (by Sony Music Australia), along with the news that the band would perform at Soundwave Festival 2015.
