Ephemeral Sun

Ephemeral Sun is essentially the continuation of Rain Fell Within, a once-promising gothic metal act that unfortunately broke up for personal reasons after two albums. After recording a demo/EP in 2003, the band presented Broken Door a year later. This isn't miles from the older Rain From Within material, but it's decidedly more in the progressive rock/metal realm, exploring several musical styles while remaining cohesive. As with RFW, classiness and maturity are keys here, as this is a band with ideas and passion. Not the heaviest band of all time, but a sure bet for prog rock fans. Six years after their debut, they returned with an all-instrumental album, Harvest Aorta.
