The perfect combination between heavy riffs, excellent keyboards, great drums patterns and an original voice. That is what Rain music is about.S pecially I liked a lot the way in ehich the keyboas are present through the whole recoring contrasting with the heavier riffs and complementing the more elaborated ones. "The Four Messengof Neptune" start this CD in an excellent way and this guys teach you how to make tracks that are really heavy and at the same time extremely original and extremely melodic. The band Has riffs that are extremely heavy and they put it together with really mechanical drums (that sound in the vein of Fear Factory but better) and vocals that are death metal in places but really versatile in others. One of the albums of the month. Favorite tracks: "Starclouds and Cosmic Seas", "The Cyclic Flood" and "Meteor Rain" Contact: www.adipocere.fr or www.frozenrain.ch
