I spoke to musician, producer, author and vocalist for Bella More and The Rain Within, Andy Dean.
Founded in the 1990s, Bella Morte played an essential role in the revival of Gothic Rock in the US, releasing over 9 full-length albums and EPs. As one of the founders of Bella Morte, Andy's passion and love of all things horror has inspired him to write and publish 4 horror novels/novellas: "The Sticks" 2009, "The Third House" 2010, "All the Darkness in the World" 2011 and "No Turning Back in 2012.
Following the success of his solo project and the album, "Atomic Eyes", The Rain Within has returned and released a new song called "Forward in Reverse" which is heavily influenced by horror films that Andy fell in love with as a child. It is driven by repetitious, haunting melodies that call back spiritually the themes from the films of Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci and John Carpenter. Lyrically, the song is about trying to mend your heart and move forward before the weight of the world kills you.
"Forward in Reverse" is the first single off the The Rain Within's new album that is set to be released in October 2021 on the Negative Gain record label called "HORRORSHOW" More details will be available soon. Photo of Andy is by Leah Siren
