Setúbal, Portugal (1997 – present)
Before The Rain was first shaped in 1997 in Setúbal, Portugal, when vocalist Carlos D’Agua and guitar player Valter Cunha began to share musical ideas that ended as acoustic songs. As time passed by, the acoustic sounds weren’t enough to express the emotions and feelings unleashed by Valter and Carlos, and in 1998 they decided to seek the remaining members for the band. But it wasn’t until 2001 that a stable line-up was found: Carlos: voice; Valter: guitar; Tiago Ferreira: guitar; Andre Vasconcelos: bass; Goncalo Brito: drums.
With this line-up, the band recorded two songs in December 2001: “Be Mine” and “You … My Ruin”. This recording was entitled “…and with the day dying light”, and was never properly distributed, except for a strict number of individuals, somehow close to the band.
In August 2003 the band records a new song called “The Swansong”. At this stage, Tiago and Andre are no longer in the line-up and Hugo Santos joins the fold as new guitar player. Shortly after “The Swansong” studio session, the band parts ways with drummer Goncalo Brito. Then came long time friend and gifted bass player Pedro Daniel and drummer Goncalo Correia to complete what’s the strongest line-up to date. The band then enters studio to record what will turn out to be their debut album, entitled “One Day Less”.
The album “One Day Less” is out on July 30th 2007 through Major Label Industries
The band is currently writing new material for a new album with the new members Carlos Monteiro (guitar) and K. (drums)

One thing all of us can agree on... this band is fucking great . "Be Mine" is definitely my favorite song .

We can't compare bands like Morgion , Dolorian as also Before The rain within others with Anathema 'cause they're second Doom generation , what we could then label as Post-Doom

..and i only know "one day less" which was the source for my comparison with early anathema. so i guess i gotta check out their latest release. (and btw no need for sorry :) )

Ah dumb me, I misunderstood and though that with "early" you meant "recent" but it's the opposite. I'm so sorry! But still, even if yeah, it's similar, Before the rain tends to more melodic stuff recently. :) I mean, Breaking the waves, for example, uses mostly clean vocals and has mostly clean parts. But well, I agree that the one you linked as the same feel than Before the rain's darker songs such as Frameless. Sorry again!

if you listen to serenades or a silent enigma or even crestfallen you will find out how much prog anathema was back then....basically NUTHING :D only pure doom metal

VilliKettu wrote:
Early Anathama clone? Well, did you drink too much or something? Anathema is prog rock where Before the rain is doom metal, no common stuff in what they're doing, not the same feeling at all. You mean, "clone", wtf?

best (early) anathema clone EVER!!! they even got the production done like on serenades :)

So underrated new album even in Portugal...

Even if Carlos d'Agua is gone, Frail has "Breaking the waves" which is one of the best doom metal songs I've ever heard. Give it a new try. :) At first I thought, like you, that it wasn't cool that vocalist changed. But the overall atmosphere of the songs remained the same, so I tried to dig a bit, and well, now I find it really amazing too. :)

Don't really like the new album, they miss Carlos D'agua on vocals. Even the lyrics aren't as nice and poetic as they were. Still has some good riffs though.
