COLDRAIN

today after my friend told me about this band suddenly im in love with their music
so i review a lil about em

lets start with their history

Coldrain was formed in 2007 in Nagoya with 5 members: Vo/Masato, Ba/RxYxO (Ryo), Gt/Y.K.C (Yokochi), Dr/Katsuma y Gt/Sugi. When they started out, they only performed in their hometown. After their performances at lives, they distributed their own homemade demo discs. Soon after, the band won the audience’s confidence and became recognized. All this, in spite of singing all in english, due the vocalist (Masato) is half-American and the english is his native language.

A year had barely passed and coldrain signed a major contract with VAP. After The band released its long-awaited debut maxi single "Fiction" on November 5, 2008. They set off for the first national tour and played in 30 venues.

After performing a series of concerts, the musicians released another maxi single "8AM". The limited edition included a DVD which featured the music video of the title song and three live videos: Fiction, Painting and Come Awake. 8AM was also used as a theme song to the anime series Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger. Summer of 2009 saw them perform at the Summer Sonic Festival. In October, they released their first album "Finale Destination" and started another national tour that was a total success as all tickets were sold out.

The band released their mini album "Nothing lasts forever" on June 23, 2010. One of the songs, We’re not alone, was used as an opening theme of the anime series Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin.

And other song, Die Tomorrow, was used as soundtrack of Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.
