Artwork used for the fifteenth anniversary re-recorded album

Final Destination is the debut studio album by Japanese rock band Coldrain. Recorded at Studio Sonorous Audio in Tokyo, Japan which was self produced by Masato Hayakawa and Ryo Yokochi, it was released on October 28, 2009 by VAP.[2]

Final Destination was exclusively released in Japan, along with the second studio album follow-up The Enemy Inside, which was released in 2011. Final Destination debuted and peaked at number 88 on the Oricon Albums Chart, before dropping out of the charts completely the following week.

The album housed three singles, two of which were released as maxi-singles. "Fiction" in November 2008 and "8AM" in April 2009 respectively. The final single, "Final Destination", was released 5 days prior to the album's release.

In 2024, the band released a re-recorded version of Final Destination for the album's fifteenth anniversary, entitled Final Destination (XV Re:Recorded). Alongside the release, "Vengeance" was released in tandem with the release as an additional track on the tracklist. It was initially released on 10 February 2024 as a venue-only limited CD sale at their homecoming show in Nagoya, but due to high fan demand, the band later released the re-recorded album worldwide on digital services after the conclusion of the album's fifteenth-anniversary tour on 26 May 2024 via Warner Music Japan.[3] "Vengeance" was released as a single to promote the re-recorded album on 11 February 2024, as well as Adult Swim's anime Ninja Kamui to which it is the opening theme.[4][5]

Musical style[edit]

Final Destination has been stylistically described as post-hardcore, punk rock and alternative rock.[6][7][8]
