Raintime
Raintime was formed in 1999, initially in the
progressive metal field
(in fact the band was instrumental in its early
days, until keyboardist Claudio Coassin took
over the vocal chores),
but as time progressed the band moved toward
a more power metal style.
Eventually they signed to Arise Records and
released their debut,
Tales From Sadness, in 2005.
Tales is one of those albums that,
while not directly reminiscent of any one band,
draws from several similar influences within the
melodic power metal field to result in a sound that
is instantly familiar, if not radically unique.
The vocals are of two distinct styles, a typical
clear power metal voice mixed with some rougher
melodic death metal stylings, the latter giving the
songs a bit of an aggressive punch.
On the other hand, the often-predominant keyboards
show a more melodic side to the band, almost poppy
at times.
They've still got some work to do to find their own niche,
but
Tales is a decent enough start to their career.
They've since released their second album,
Flies & Lies, in the spring of 2007.
