Bio:
The Italian Rock Band RAIN has been active since 1980. Three generations of musicians have passed beneath this name and they have ridden the rock influences of their respective periods, turning RAIN in a veritable team of the Italian Rock . Moving on from the Heavy Metal of their early records up to the modern sounds of the latest album and experimenting new atmospheres with acoustic rock in their last studio LP: “MEXICAN WAY”.In their early years they performed live mostly in Bologna, the hometown of all the first members of the group. Year after year their local popularity increased, persuading them to expand their audience to nearby cities. Despite the many line-up changes, RAIN’s work became more and more determined to keep the road of Rock, releasing their first album of original songs on cassette. Between 1998 and 2007, RAIN released two albums : “BIGDITCH 4707”, distributed by the Greek ETERNAL SHADOWS, and “HEADSHAKER”, product for the French label Deadsun RECORDS . The long promoting tours of these two LPs brought RAIN to be known all over the Italy and even in Europe. PAUL DI ANNO (first Iron Maiden frontman) MICHAEL SCHENKER , UDO , IRON SAVIOR, and HELSTAR, are just some of the big names that the Italian band has had to support . Thanks to this intense live activity , the Italian band matured international experience and began to receive good reviews for their high level performances . Worth mentioning their appearance at Arezzo LOVE WAVE 2005 as the band recommended by METAL HAMMER and the memorable show in Slovenia at METAL CAMP 2005 with EXCITER, ANTHRAX , MALMSTEEN, CHILDREN OF BODOM, SLAYER, etc ... In 2008 they released “DAD IS DEAD”, containing 12 unreleased tracks and a cover. As guest Steve Sylvester singing the legendary “Rain” of the Cult. Record produced and distributed by AURAL MUSIC all over the world and in Italy by Audioglobe . The promotional tour for “Dad is Dead” brought Rain truly worldwide: Finland, Germany, Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Denmark supporting Blaze Bayley (IRON MAIDEN singer 1994-1999) and to tour a month (March 2010) in the United States (coast to coast) with W.A.S.P. Their work continued in 2011 with the album “XXX”, an anthology of the band's 30-years career, where they rearranged and re-interpreted some of the most significant songs of the previous album. The label Aural Music reaffirmed its confidence in the group. On October 15, 2011 in Tilburg, Netherlands, began “XXX TOUR” that led them once again around Italy and Europe. In October 2013 “MEXICAN WAY” has been published: an acoustic experience, new for them, who needed to express themselves in different ways, as already tested in two of their historical songs rearranged in “XXX” . The album immediately received excellent reviews and after six months only went out of print. Aural Music was once again attended to deal with the national and foreign distribution. Very enjoyable, among the 12 tracks, are two songs in Spanish: “Mexican Way”, the title track, and “Whiskey and the Route 666” (already present in “XXX” in its English version). “MEXICAN WAY” also contains two highly successful Mexican sound cover: “Tijuana Jail” by Gilby Clarke and “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross . Currently the band is busy with the Mexican Way Italian tour to promote the eponymous album. Started in March 2014 in Rome, it has already visited the cities of Bologna, Padua and Milan. It will continue in Ferrara, Brescia to be back in Bologna and then back again to Milan. In July they’ll also participate at the Total Metal Festival in Bari. During this tour RAIN perform both in acoustic and electric and they introduce their hits taken from “DAD IS DEAD” and “XXX” and cross-over versions of songs from “MEXICAN WAY”. After the arriving of the new singer Mantis le Sin, the RAIN’s team has renewed its incentives to continue their productive work with Aural Music, the label to which they are engaged to release a new album in electric by the end of 2014. From April 2014 RAIN's management has been entrusted to David Tonioni, since years already member of the RAINCREW (team of loyal supporters and partners of the band).The album Mexican Way (2013, Aural Music) satisfied the need to experiment with acoustic sounds, paving the way for RAIN‘s participation in Pistoia Blues 2015 (with The Darkness and Black Label Society). That was just an episode, anyway, because the call of heavy music is too wild and invigorates the celebrated Spacepirates (2016, Aural Music), as always supported by intense Italian and European tours with Jeff Scott Soto’s band.Along the production of the highly anticipated new album, in 2017 the latest RAIN line-up released the single Good Morning Texas (featuring Alessandro Del Vecchio and the American producer Beau Hill) and the cover of Disperato Erotico Stomp by fellow citizen Lucio Dalla, departing immediately for a new European tour again with the masters W.A.S.P.The recent 10th anniversary reissue of Dad Is Dead, featuring the bonus disc Live In Russi, contributed to point the future stylistic direction. During 2019 and 2020 the band worked hard on a bunch of new songs, along with the pre-production and mix of Giuseppe “Dualized” Bassi (Fear Factory and more), who gave a new and fresh boost to the sound and arrangements, insisting even more on modern and groovy solutions, which however will not jeopardize their bloody and down-to-earth trademark.In October 2021 RAIN released Come back A-Live, the first book ever done by the band, published by Arcana Edizioni and based on the on-the-road 2010 U.S.A. tour experience with W.A.S.P., written by Dave Tonioni (who took part in that tour as merchandiser, photographer, tour manager and much more) and highly acclaimed by the Italian press.Simultaneously with the book’s release, RAIN published a brand new single as a logical soundtrack, named Come back A-Live.For a band already used to get acclaimed live, the upcoming album A New Tomorrow, scheduled for release in late 2022, represents a great challenge especially on a creative level. If RAIN have always proved capable of igniting the stages of half the world, this time they have your stereo system in their sights. So, you better be ready.
