One
gloomy night, October 2000, two Finns come up with an idea of a band
playing slow, dreamlike material. During the winter, some songs are
written, and afterwards recorded. At this point this two man orchestra
is forced to grow. They need someone to vocalize their words scribbled
down in distress. Luckily, a suitable interpreter is close to be found.
In autumn 2001 this trio shuts off in a bunker deep underground, to give
birth to the first ShamRain - release. Pieces EP finally sees the light
of day the next February. In 2002 more songs were written, and a
full length album planned. The orchestra keeps growing slowly, as their
first permanent guitarist joins. In the beginning of 2003, the band
signs a record deal with an Italian label, Watch Me Fall - Records. The
recordings of a debut album, Empty World Excursion, take place during
the summer and autumn. By this time, the bands music has evolved into a
combination of dark melancholic rock and slow, ethereal elements. EWE is
put out by WMF in December 2003 and gains a lot of good reviews.
The following year, the band records a few unused songs written for EWE
and The Cure - cover song 'Charlotte Sometimes. 'Charlotte' is released
in a The Cure - tribute album 'Other Voices', and other songs as a 7"
vinyl, simply called the "ShamRain EP". Their own label UTU Music puts
out the vinyl. Also new songs are written during the spring and summer.
In autumn 2004, demo sessions for the 2nd album slowly begin and 13 new
songs get recorded. During the sessions a second guitarist is recruited
to enforce the band. The deal with WMF is dissolved and a new deal is
made with Finnish label Firebox - Records. In December recordings of a
new album finally get started at Akun Tehdas and the sessions stretch to
last almost 4 months, before getting the final touch at FinnVox
studios. The album is titled 'Someplace Else' and it includes some new
elements, still being a logical sequel to EWE. And as EWE, 'Someplace
Else' also gains a lot of great feedback, including many 'full points'
reviews. Autumn 2005 Shamrain records demos of new songs, that
together with unused songs from the 'Someplace Else' - sessions are to
form the next SR - release, 'Deeper into the night' - MCD. During the
winter ShamRain records the MCD and finally plays it's first gigs.
Deeper into the night is released April 2006 revealing ShamRain more
uptempo than ever, whilst maintaining the quiet and slow moments that
make their sound unique. 'Deeper into the night' hits Finnish single
charts at position 7. While getting the songs together for the 3rd
album, Shamrain is offered a deal by Spikefarm Records. As soon as the
deal is sorted out, the band escapes the summer brightness to the
studio. The sessions turn out to be the hardest Shamrain - sessions
ever. It takes a lot of despair and disagreements, not to mention time,
to get the album finalized, but it seems to be worth it. The new album
represents the band more challenging and varieting as never before. The
basic, ethereal SR-elements are still there, while the progress is
getting the band into more rocking scales in the vein of British
legends, Radiohead, The Cure, Placebo and Porcupine Tree. The album is
titled 'Goodbye to All That' and released 31.10.2007. Album enters the
official Finnish charts at position 39.
