A ide li iko u BG 27.10.-SKC,nastupa Tarja Turunen?

Ehej, malo kasnim sa odgovorim, ali nema veze

Bilo je cool, veoma smo dobro bili prihvaceni, s obzirom da album jos uvek nije nabavljiv na nasim prostorima... Ljudi su znali pesme sa promo diska, i generalno, zvuk je bio dobar, nastup dobar, prostor (living room) je super za klupske svirke... Jedino sto je fest zanrovski bio pomalo saren, pa smo tako mi svirali posle thrash metalaca NadimaC i death metal razaraca (ali bukvalno!) Disdained, pa se melodic prog metal tu ne moze bas najlakse nadovezati

Ali sve je proslo OK.

Evo, da i ovde ostavim link za download Heaven Rain promo CDa (tri pesme), 320kbps:



Bar dok disk konacno ne bude ovde objavljen licencno...

Pozdrav!

Kupio sam cd i
Odlican kvalitet i dobre pjesme. Samo me zanima koliko kbps je onaj shit na myspace.
Naravno pjevac treba da radi na naglasku ili da pjeva na srpskom.

Aha, OK

Hvala na podrsci!

@Time trek
Sto mi nisi pokazao kad sam bio kod tebe?? Koliko si platio? Daj posalji mi link? Naravno da cu podrzati i kupiti CD. Mada mi je opet frka da ga kupim sada, ide se kuci, nema se para ), tako je uvijek. Ali u januaru ga kupujem sigurno. Nego ne cudi me sto kupujes muziku preko neta, jbg, kad kod vas u selu ima bendova, ko i kod nas zena, pa ne mozes poslusati nesto live, hahahaha.

Upravo nas je nahvalio jedan od 5 najbitnijih metal sajtova danasnjice, The Metal Observer, i to je vest nad vestima

Genre: Melodic Metal
Label: Moonwolf Records
Playing time: 41:10
Band homepage: heavenrainmusic.com

Tracklist:
1. Before…
2. Rain Will Fall Again
3. Beauty Of You
4. Go Away
5. Can’t Stay
6. Final Point
7. Never Give You Away
8. Far And Forever
9. Letter

Don’t know about you but I’ve not had many dealings with a Balkan state Metal band but in Bosnians HEAVEN RAIN that’s about to change and I am absolutely delighted in writing that this debut record is nothing short of excellent.

It isn’t perhaps the best start by opening with a brace of instrumentals however the quality is such that it is but a teaser for the rest of the record. ‘’Rain Will Fall Again’’ and the glorious title track are parts reminiscent of HELLOWEEN, EDGUY and most notably KAMELOT. The scything guitar riffs and swirling keyboards attest to the influences but this is no mere copying this is a bold statement of intent and delivered with an audacious flair. The vocals pitch in on ‘’Beauty Of You’’ and if your familiar with the syrupy gloss coated choruses of TEN then this song will hit the bulls eye. There’s a definite more Prog Metal slant to ‘’Go Away’’ and ‘’Final Point’’ echoing the rich tapestries woven by say AYREON; HEAVEN RAIN pull it off with ease and belie their tender musical age.

In no way should this record be vying for a place in my ever amassing pile of top albums for 2008 but HEAVEN RAIN is easily the pick of the Melodic Metal releases this year and I rate it as highly as EDEN’S CURSE ‘’Second Coming’’. That, my Melodic brothers and sisters, is praise indeed.

Heaven Rain: Far And Forever

With its foundation firmly planted in the power/melodic metal genres, Heaven Rain, hailing from Banja Luka, Bosnia, have their released their debut album entitled Far and Forever. The band consists of Bozidar Sevic (vocals), Igor Paspalj (guitars), Goran Bastinac (keyboards), Bojan Joksic (bass) and Nebojsa Lakic (drums). Bastinac formed the band in 2006 after studying classical music at the Academy of Arts in Banja Luka. Bastinac lists bands like Nightwish and Sonata Arctica as his role models and the new album definitely reflects some of those influences. His keyboard parts have a classical tone which adds to the symphonic nature of the music. Fast powerful riffs, combined with heavy orchestration and progressive metal overtones makes this a solid first album for the band. The band are also able to slow down the pace effectively with quiet interludes that adds to the dramatic nature of the music.

Most of the songs are in the 4 to 5 minute range with the longest clocking in at 6 minutes. This is a short and concise album with no wasted space. The musicianship is solid and the band is capable of some pretty mean shredding. I would have liked the band to stretch themselves a little farther and tried their hand at writing a longer composition, perhaps even an epic. The music presented here would benefit from more instrumental interplay that a longer composition would provide. This is only a suggestion however, as I still very much enjoyed this album.

The album opens with two instrumentals that demonstrate the musical chops the band possesses. "Before…" starts the proceedings with lots of keys and dramatic guitar. This is a short piece ending with the sounds of a thunderstorm, which leads directly into the second cut "Rain Will Fall Again". This is an up-tempo number with speedy guitar riffs and nice keys, having a Dream Theater feel to it. The vocals do not start until the album's third song, a solid slice of melodic metal with catchy guitar and keyboard riffs. Sevic has a pleasing voice; not outstanding but quite effective with nary a trace of an accent that I could detect. He never tries to over-sing with high pitched wailing thus never straining his voice.

I really like how the band is able to slow down the tempo and inflect quiet musical interludes into some of the songs. "Final Point" starts with some fast riffage but slows down with a melodic keyboard part which is quite nice. The album ends with the poignant instrumental "Letter". Starting with the simulated sounds of war and a beautiful, somber piano melody this one really creates a strong atmosphere. A short, heartfelt guitar solo follows. The lyric booklet contains a touching letter written by a soldier to his sweetheart providing insight into the song.

This is solid debut album from a promising young band. If you appreciate melodic/power metal with leanings to the progressive end of the spectrum this one will be right up your alley and should be a safe recommendation.

Nova recencija, ovaj put iz bratske Crne Gore, objavljena u dnevnom listu Dan (Izdanje: 23-01-2009)!

Iz nebeskih odaja

Gromko, upravo tako, gotovo dvominutnom grmljavinom i furioznim klavirskim, još bliže, sinth ali ne i sintetizovanim uvodom, odpočinje ovo muzičko putovanje banjalučkih muzičara – Heaven rain. Nekako se klavijature, ovdje, čujemo, ispostavljaju kao neizbježan činilac ovog kreativnog tripa. Poput kaputa kojim se ovaj probrani muzički izražaj, ogrće i, osjećamo, ogrijeva. Na zvaničnoj my space stranici grupe, stoji u nas veoma često upotrebljivana i u mnogo slučajeva zloupotrebljena, rogobatna odrednica: progresiv - metal - rok. Heaven rain su sastav koji, u svom vezivnom tkivu, neosporno posjeduje supstance iz sva tri pobrojana miljea, ali, čini se, najmanje dodirnih tačaka ima sa surovim i suvoparnim hevy metal opredjeljenjem. Ali, to shvatite samo kao pohvalu i u potpunosti afirmativno. Devet kompozicija, koje su veoma vešto osmišljenje, pažljivo producirane i precizno instrumentalno dovedene u red, komotno se snalaze u modernom i unaprijeđenom, savremenom – evropskom, prije svega– rok sazvučju, podvlačim, sa potenciranjem na harmonijskoj liniji gotovo svih tematskih odabira. I melodičnosti koja svom silinom osvaja i plijeni. U sastavu Heaven rain, za setom bubnjeva nalazi se bubnjar banjalučkog sastava Interfector – Nebojša Lakić, urednik Srpskog metal portala i novinar magazina Butcherian vibe. Osoba je, koja, pored muzičkog traga, i kroz novinske napise potencira najviše domete u popularnoj kulturi. Čvrstog gitarskog usmjerenja, posebno. Pored njega, u grupi su i Bojan Jokšić na basu, Igor Paspalj - gitara, Goran Bastinac za klavijaturama. Vokale na ovom albumu potpisuje Božidar Sević. Numera Final point, na momente djeluje raskošno razbuktalo, na trenutke raspomamnjeno dinamično. Go away djeluje nonšalantno i poprilično hitično. Neopterećujuće i odmjereno. Dokument Letter se ispostavlja kao svojevrsan predah, ali samo na mah. Toliko da dopušta da udahnete vazduh i nanovo zaronite u notni okean. Satkan od kapi, ove primamljive - kiše iz, vjerovali ili ne - nebeskih odaja!
