"Save the planet... kill yourself"
-
sorath [RIP]
Those of you still mourning the death of In the Woods... have probably invested many a wasted dollar in the search for a replacement. Many of those cash cows (heifers, more like) have silly names like Beyond the Dusk, After the Dawn, or When Sleet Turns to Snow. Before the Rain keeps this daft tradition alive, but is the first band I've heard that might -- just might -- have the potential to fill the massive hole left by the Norwegian crackpots.
This Portuguese quintet came to being in 1997, as an acoustic duo. They decided to go electric to get the full weight required for a proper feeling of doom; unfortunately they also discovered a love of noisy guitar feedback that blights the recording from time to time. Most of the pieces are in place, though: thoughtful, melancholy lead guitar; competent clean vocals that ocassionally overdo the woe-is-me factor (but wasn't this also one of In the Woods...' guilty displeasures?); and a generally slow pace. Occasionally the band will throw in a crushing riff and some death growls -- just to get the blood pumping again -- but these three lengthy songs are decidedly down-tempo, and not too heavy for the most part.
Quite an impressive blend of soul and grunt, Beyond the Rain is one to look out for if you're into melodic doom... and you-know-who.

Breathtaking - 90%
Written by Mortified_Reality on October 17th, 2004
Portugal is an unlikely area to produce a mesmerising doom metal band.
But this Iberian band hit the nail right on the head , '...And With the Day Dying Light, ' left me desperate for future releases ( i am not aware of any at all.)
'Be Mine,' is a beautiful song with influences of sludge that must be noted , similar to that of Neurosis , but better!
12 minutes of awesome inspirational doom metal , gloomy vocals and droning rythm guitar ... this is not especially slow or minimalistic at all , but generally a perfect song that is basic but composed brilliantly .
Despite being 12 minutes long , the song spirals into different tempos/styles and doesnt get boring at all.
Ending in the vein of the introduction to the song , Before The Rain truly produced a special song.
The second and final track , 'You...My Ruin,' is shorter , at 6 minutes long.
Containing clean vocals , parts that are slower than the other and an especially attractive is at 3 minutes where both guitars are playing alone , with clean vocals over the top .
To sum it up , Before The Rain could become one of the most mesmerising groups around ; for a debut demo this is a great achievement.
