Rain Paint - Biography
This band's profile is 'invisible', meaning that it's much less prominent on the site - either because it's incomplete, or maybe doesn't entirely fit MS format.
Biography
From Aleksi Ahokas voice: "Rain Paint was born in a very strange way, but I am very proud about what we have done and about what Rain Paint is now.
It all started in Winter 2002 when we decided to quit Prophet creating Fragile Hollow. I understood immediately that some songs didn't fit with the style that FragileHollow were playing, so I recorded some of the songs in my home-studio and I showed them to Francesco Palumbo at My Kingdom Music. He had a great interest in Prophet´s music before Fragile Hollow coming. He was simply enthusiastic about these new tracks... He said: "Believe me... This music is absolutely the best thing you have ever created... I wanna absolutely produce it!". So in a few days we signed for two albums with My Kingdom Music and immediately I began to look for motivated players and gladly Sami from the same Fragile Hollow and Tim from Denigrate decided to join Rain Paint. With them I initiated to work hard on the tracks.
In the Autumn 2002 we entered the mighty MD/Firestation studios together with Oskari Kymäläinen. We spent a very hard time in the studio... days and nights finding the right balance between the intensity of the guitars and the melodies... We experience all along the line troubles with the equipment the schedule, tune but finally the songs were even better than we thought. To crown it all Denigrate and Fragile Hollow was extremely busy with their debut albums. Would you believe that this I was making Rapture "Songs For The Withering" the same time? But this one was like vacation and we really had a blast. We had weird guests and the CD is full of hidden souls one couldn´t dare to guess the source. The last touches were given at the unique Finnvox studio together with Pauli Saastamoinen and at the end "Nihil Nisi Mors" was a reality... a fantastic reality made by abrasive guitars, sad melodies, liquid atmospheres... in a few words a true masterpiece of Intense Emotional Art.
After a short pause promoting the album, 2005 was the right time to record the new masterpiece of melanchonia and darkness and we have done it. Working titles are "Through The Mire" or "Purity" and will contain more diverse metal you can't put to any genre. The material that's ready so far has "bigger" chords that all you can hear. We have recorded the stuff at the Walltone/Sundicoop-studio and continued in Finnvox soon after. The studio is known of recording great albums with bands such as Rapture, Ensiferum, Wintersun, Fintroll, Trio Niskalaukaus and many more. Here are the titles of the songs that will be part of the album 'Year Or Two', 'Give Back My Heart', 'Heart Will Stop', 'Thru The Mire / Like The Rain', 'Disintegration', 'Purity', 'Inside Me', 'Interlude', 'Final Peace / Never Found', 'Outro'.
It´s hard to sit on a gold bar like this. It's definitely the best stuff I & we have ever done and it's most honest till the date. I hate to wait for it to come out. But I promise you it's amazing. We have elements of doom, progressive, death, black, rock, goth, and melodic metal. I love the album".
So just wait for it!!! The album is reality from April 28th, 2006.
