Black Rain

Black Rain burst onto the scene with a sold-out debut in March 2024 and swiftly built a formidable reputation for their uncompromising, intense live shows and fierce DIY ethic. In just 12 months, the band has established themselves as one of the hardest working post-punk acts in the country, performing at Corrosion Festival, NecroscopE, and Carpe Noctum, and sharing stages with bands such as Auger, The Foreign Resort, Gothzilla, Sex Blood and Twisted Nerve.

As an aggressive dark post-punk band, Black Rain offer a stark, unrelenting, and fresh take on the classic sound, standing apart in a world of manufactured noise. They occupy a unique space, famously "Too Goth to be Punk. Too Punk to be Goth," .

The self-titled debut album, released on July 14th, has been met with critical acclaim:

World renowned critic Mick Mercer (18/7) picked it as “Best new Goth album of the week”.

Baby Step Magazine (15/6) hailed it as “a brutal, beautiful collision of ghostly atmospherics and razor-edged rage…channel the grit of their homeland and the fury of a world on edge. With a sound forged in isolation, anger, and unrelenting honesty, Black Rain don't want to fit in—they want to burn it all down.”

Peek-A-Boo Magazine (12/06) further described it as "freshly-sharpened double-edged Post-Punk. Aggressive and unrelenting but with a fresh take on the classic sound …post-punk at its most fierce and unfiltered."
