RAINCHILD

Well, Dutch prog, what can you say about it in general ? My overall feeling is that it's nice, some Dutch bands are somewhat alike but of course they aren't all the same. Like Wendy is a typical Dutch band if you like. I first heard them thanks to progarchives streamed song: Falcon Suite. I liked it, I like most long epic songs and I thought, let's try one of their albums. It became Rainchild, no long epics on this one but still a very enjoyable album, all strong songs with good vocals and nice intrumental solos, nice gloomy like atmosphere, somewhat melancholy but in a pleasant way.

The better songs are Drowned, Spaces of the deep and Four years. The rest is good, though slightly less. Deservedly 4 stars.
