Black Rain, the seminal aggressive dark post-punk band from the North East of England, prepare to release their highly anticipated self-titled debut album. In a world of bland manufactured noise, Black Rain offers a stark unrelenting fresh take on the classic post punk sound.
Black Rain exists in the space between the aggressive raw energy of punk and the brooding dark intensity of goth. Too Goth to be Punk. Too Punk to be Goth. They are the sound of the outsiders, a sonic storm of raw energy, brooding atmosphere and razor-sharp intensity. Black Rain have quickly cemented their reputation as one of the most uncompromising voices in the genre today.
Blending the cold, jagged edges of classic post-punk with a modern, unrelenting drive, Black Rain music resonates with urgency and depth. Their debut album is a stark testament to the power of haunting melodies, pounding rhythms, a relentless emotional pull that refuses to be ignored. Prepare to be consumed by a whirlwind of dark, aggressive soundscapes, laced with edgy raw emotion.
The debut album comprises 5 studio tracks and 4 raw live performances channeling the North East’s bleak industrial past while capturing the tension and rebellion of the present. A fusion of driving basslines, spectral guitar work, and vocals that cut through the darkness with visceral intensity. This is post-punk at its most fierce and unfiltered.
The album will be available on all major streaming platforms, with limited edition vinyl LP and cassette for collectors who crave something tangible. Black Rain will be playing a limited number of live dates, bringing their uncompromising and formidable live sound to audiences around the country.
