The
story of Blinded Rain began in 2004 when Kaide
found himself wondering what to do with the
bunch of songs he had written. Songs did not
fit to the style of existing band and after
a few seconds thinking the answer was clear
- it was time to do something new . As the
outcome the first line-up of Blinded Rain
(Kaide, Tapsu on drums, J. Partanen on bass)
was recording the first Blinded Rain album
Time ? already in the beginning of 2005 (released
2005-10-14). The existing line-up saw daylight
in January 2006 (Leonard on drums, Günther
on bass). Band started rehearsing for gigs
and played the first gig in Rock-Korjaamo
Metal Fest in Mikkeli on the 8th of August
2006. Blinded Rain was also writing new material
and noticed soon that the music was spontaneously
moving to a bit heavier direction. Band was
very satisfied with the new songs that arised
and decided to enter the studio next autumn
for recording Vampire MCD. Vampire was recorded
at Sundicoop studio in Savonlinna in September-October
2006 and it was released on the 13th of December
2006. Vampire MCD contained 5 tracks: 1. Vampire
2. Insane 3. The only truth 4. Curtains of
Deceit 5. 1939. After the release Blinded
Rain played some gigs and started writing
new material to the next full-length album
Destination Unknown. Band decided again to
record the music in Sundicoop studio with
Tuomo Valtonen. Recordings and mixing were
ready in February 2008 and the album was mastered
at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila. Destination
Unknown will be released on the 23th of April
2008 and the album release gig will be played
at "On The Rocks" -club in Helsinki
at the same day.
