Shamrain creates dark atmospheric rock blended with ethereal, dreamlike soundscapes.
October 2000, Matti and Janne come up with an idea of a band playing slow, dreamlike material. During the winter, some songs are written and recorded. As they need someone to vocalize their words scribbled down in distress, they ask Mika to try it out. Mikas voice fits the music perfectly and in autumn 2001 this trio gives birth to the first ShamRain - release. Pieces EP sees the light of day the next February.
In 2002 more songs are written and the first permanent guitarist, Kalle, joins the band. Later the band signs a deal with Watch Me Fall - Records. The recordings of a debut album, ‘Empty World Excursion’, take place during the summer and autumn 2003. By this time, the bands music has evolved into a combination of dark melancholic rock and slow, ethereal elements. EWE is put out by WMF in December and gains a lot of good reviews.
The following year, the band records a few unused songs written for EWE and a The Cure - cover song. These are released in a The Cure - tribute album and a 7” vinyl, simply called the “ShamRain EP”. New songs are written during the spring and summer. In autumn 2004, demo sessions for the 2nd album begin and 13 new songs get recorded. At this time a second guitarist, Mikko, is recruited to enforce the band. The deal with WMF dissolves and a new deal is made with Firebox - Records. In December recordings of a new album finally get started at Akun Tehdas and the sessions stretch to last almost 4 months, before getting the final touch at FinnVox studios.

If you like Shamrain, you should listen to Hanging Garden. Withr 3 members from Shamrain and a death vocal, it makes a diffrent feel, still so dreamy but much more savage, more power http://www.last.fm/music/Hanging+Garden
