Rain Fell Within |

Unfortunately I didn't get to hear the debut from this 6-piece band
from
Virginia which is an awesome display of Goth/Progressive Metal with
ambient and atmospheric melancholy wrapped around a few layers of heavy
rhythms and angelic female vocals. Dawn uses her voice as much as
possible with layered tracks in most songs and a "hats off" to Ron
Vento
for the engineering and co-production of this CD. Most of you know Ron
from Aurora Borealis. Another familiar name goes with the cover art
done
by Mike Riddick, who both and twin brother Mark are well known for as
well as their music skills over 10+ years in the underground. Fans of
Within Temptation and Illinois-based doomsters Avernus will enjoy this
10-track sophomore effort following up the successful debut of
"Believe"
back in 2000. The line-up has changed since their 1996 beginning but
this is one tightly played and well thought out CD that I've heard of
in
some time in this genre. A real crowd-pleaser! www.darksymphonies.com
