Hollow
AOP
Israeli death/doom crew chart their struggles with a stellar guestlist
Tomorrow’s Rain: happy with the guests, gloomy about life in general
THE STORY OF Israeli death/doom sextet Tomorrow’s Rain makes for a convoluted tale fraught with personal struggle. They were formed as Moonskin in 2002 by singer Yishai Sweartz and producer Maor Applebaum, who later moved to LA, establishing himself as a successful producer with a diverse roster of clients from Yngwie J Malmsteen to Mayhem. Sweartz remained in Israel, becoming a successful promoter. With personal circumstances taking him increasingly further from the band, it was on the advent of his 40th birthday that he finally scratched a lifelong creative itch with the release of Hollow. It’s a record filled with sorrow. Mournful to the last, with huge, vengeful riffs permeating ponderous gloom.
