IsRain list their influences as Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, Ministry, Depeche Mode and Rob Zombie and have a line-up of Nicola Favaretto – vocals, Alberto Pasini - guitars, programming, Millo Trambaiolo – guitars, Alessandro Bonini – drums and Andrea Tomanin – bass, all of whom contribute to an enjoyable modern rock effort with the kind of angst that the young people like so much. An example of this would be from "No Forgiveness".
"Do you remember how we used to be?
And our fragile dreams of glass?
Which hand has put the seed of despair
within us? Within us."
Nicola Favaretto channels his inner Alice Cooper/Dani Filth/Rob Zombie throughout and with a clean production job from Andy Sleep the future seems pretty bright for these young Italian upstars.
