Raintime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raintime is an Italian power metal band which was originally assembled on 1999. Their musical style also borrows elements from extreme metal, such as death growls and lower tuning of their instruments.
The band was initially significantly inspired by Dream Theater, and as such composed songs which leaned towards the progressive metal genre. They them recorded an instrumental demo entitled Jump In the Past. Subsequent to the release, the band's original drummer quit, and Enrico Fabris joined the band to replace him. Also, Claudio Coassin, who had previously been on keyboards, switched to vocals. These changes prompted the band to develop their musical style towards the direction of power metal — with extreme elements. With this new focus, the band recorded their debut album − Tales From Sadness in 2005. The band currently intends to release a second album in 2007. They are also currently scheduled to play on the ProgPower USA together with names such as After Forever and Virgin Steele.
