DKA is very honored to be able to present, on vinyl for the first time,
Black Rain's "Metal Rain" 1988-1993. This archival release captures the
group at a time when it was experimenting with a more traditional
4-piece rock set up (drums/guitars/bass/vocals), although the results
are anything but traditional. Interspersed with bits of scraping ambient
and textural forays this is a record full of thrash and riffs and
energy. While the palette is far removed from what fans might expect
based on their more recent output, the core aesthetic ideas and
principles that drive those tracks can still be heard throughout this
wildly different format. The result is surprisingly varied and extremely
dense and rewarding.
The history of these recordings is rich and complex and we have done our
best to condense the notes that we received from Stuart Argabright. All
text in quotes are his unchanged words to us.
