So, five guys playing Final Fantasy VIII in Essex. And, this guy, Rinoa Heartilly comes into the battlefield. What is the first thing you might think? Exactly.... the guys will form a post-metal band named Rinoa. Unfortunately the band "demised" last year (2010) but its' members are now bussy running their own projects.
In 2008, they released their first EP called
Rinoa. As the audience welcomed them in the underground post- something something scene, the EP was followed by a split with
Bossk. (also a great band!) Just a few weeks before the break up the brittish music magazine
Rock Sound listed their debut album
An age among them as one of the best albums of 2010.I can imagine that the guys didn't go along musically, since James May (their drummer) joined the dubstep group
Tek-One, and their guitarist Josef Norocky joined
Devil Sold his Soul (touring with
Architects last year)
The reason for picking this band is that they manage to put in so much emotion in their music. The perfect combination of hard continious drums and metal guitars, followed by heartbreaking vocals, just gives me the chills. Seriously, it's a perfect choise for, "one of those days". To be honest though, I can recognize a lack of imagination and variety on their album An age among them. But hey, I still like it.
