History
Rain Fell Within formed in 1996 as vocalist/keyboardist Dawn Desiree, guitarist Kevin Thomas and bassist Charles Gore with guitarist William Rucker and drummer John Brown. That era released two demos, Rain Fell Within-Live '97 and Solemn Days in 1998.
In 1998, William and John departed and percussionist Tim Miller joined. In 1999, this quartet recorded Believe, then recruited second guitarist Owen Davis, began opening for international acts and signed a record contract with Dark Symphonies.
In 2000, Dark Symphonies released Believe which increased their exposure including performing at the Milwaukee Metal Fest, New Jersey Metal Fest and New England Metal Fest, magazine interviews including Metal Maniacs and radio air play.
In 2001, they acquired distribution with Barnes & Noble, Relapse Records and Hellion Records and released "The Only One" bonus track with Owen before his departure. This led to recruiting second guitarist Jason Aaron Wood and backing vocalist Laurie Ann Haus. The core quartet recorded Refuge, which included one song with Jason and Laurie.
In 2002, Dark Symphonies released Refuge and they recruited keyboardist John Battema. They performed and began writing as a seven member line-up, but disbanded later that year. Rain Fell Within members went on to form the following projects: Dawn Desireé, Ephemeral Sun, Todesbonden and Anomalous Feather (inactive)
