Press Reviews "Rarely is there a band that I do find some element of originality or unique expansion upon what the greats such as My Dying Bride, Theatre Of Tragedy, and Anathema invented before them. However, there is rarely a band that ranks as high as those aforementioned forefathers, and without blinking or feeling at all that I am abusing flattery, I can say that Rain Fell Within are sharing wine and supping with the greats.... This band is supremely gifted. Their music is upbeat, melancholic, intense and absolutely breathtaking. If this band continues in the direction they have started with, all other bands might as well quit if they seek to oust this band from where they will soon be reigning." Starvox.net
