The shadowy “Oh Heavy Rain” is a record that mixes a lot of influences. All in all, it’s definitely new wave meets post punk but listening to the vocals and the guitars, you can detect a slight Black Sabbath vibe as well.
The cinematic production’s first rate as are the performances. The fantastic, expressive lead vocal takes the centre stage, but that's not the song's sole appeal. The very satisfying bass and the fiery guitar licks are equally alluring.
It’s what I'd call a triumph by any standards!
