Raein | Forme Sommerse 12″

Following a return to live performances and rerelease of several out of print recordings last year, Italy’s Raein presents a brand new album, “Forme Sommerse” (Submerged Forms). Their first new music in ten years,”Forme Sommerse” consists of two seamless side-length songs – an emotionally charged, dynamic and graceful hardcore record from the Italian quintet.

“It’s been ten years since our last recording. Ten years of change. It wasn’t a given we’d manage it again; clearly, what once was has cut deep—and stayed. We moved instinctively, as we always have, condensing these ten years of shifts and distances into half an hour of music. When we reflect on reality, it’s its submerged forms that move us; this record, true to tradition, is a tribute to what can’t be seen and to what compels us.”

Founded in 2002 in Italy, the band released a dizzying amount of music, across multiple splits, EPs and albums, while extensively touring the world during their original run. Reformed in 2023, Raein is considered to be one of the leaders in emotional post-hardcore, carrying a similar spirit and sound as bands like Orchid, Saetia, Pg.99, and others. Melding melody and discordance into something truly beautiful to experience.

Comes packaged in a gatefold jacket with limited colored vinyl.
