Throughout all five tracks of Rain Fell Within's CD "Believe" the band
display the ability to create atmospheric music that is free of the restrictions of many
other gothic / black / doom metal releases. The band has avoided the use
of a male "death growl" vocal much to their advantage and obvious
musical maturity and confidence. Kevin Thomas and Owen Davis share guitar parts while Charles Gore handles the
bass and Tim Miller plays percussion. The guitars, keyboards and percussion all
compliment each other as opposed to fighting for a leading role.
4 out of the 5 songs on the CD time in at over 8 minutes in length. The
song structures fluctuate often enough to keep the listener attentive.
This is especially true of the morose "Sorrow Becomes Me" which contains many vocal delivery changes
and showcases Dawn's impressive range.
Comparisons / influences can be drawn to Nightwish and The Gathering. However,
Dawn's vocal dynamics and tone are much different than Anneke from The Gathering
in that her voice is much stronger and mature in overall range.
Rain Fell Within produced the CD along with Jason
Ian Vaughn Eckert and Ron Vento. The overall sound is very professional and
crystal clear. The packaging of the CD and inlays are quite impressive as
well. Obviously, Rain Fell Within has taken their time in presenting a
high quality product both musically and aesthetically.
