Hailing from Auckland, Crimson Rain consists of four members from three different nationalities who embrace the post-grunge era with heavy distortions, elegant solos, head-banging riffs, powerful beats and impressive sounds that will catch hold of your mind.
The band emerged in May 2010 when members Pras Kumar (vocals, guitar), Avi Pranish (lead guitar), Ben Lee (bass) and Matt Bunce (drums) got together with the intention of writing good rock and taking their music to the world. Each member of Crimson Rain contributes in different ways with influences from Grunge and Metal to Flamenco and Baroque.
Having recorded their first EP 'One By One' in August 2010 with producer Ben Ruegg, their first single 'Break' has hit the Reverbnation charts and is still making its mark on social networking sites. On the back of this, Crimson Rain intends to record a full-length album and take their music on tour in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and the rest of the world.

"A tantalisingly short, albeit wickedly sweet, album; laden with choppy bassy rhythmic bits and precise gax, all nicely mixed with some diverse vox. "

"Crimson Rain, an Auckland based four-man band, established just five months ago (May 2010) and if its early achievements are any indication, it will flow into many parts of the world, immersing enthusiasts and fans in melody and rhythm."
— Venkat Raman, Indian Newslink
"Crimson Rain is one of the most outstanding rock bands I've come across in 2010, and are definitely worth the listen - especially if you like such bands as Agent and Shihad. "
— SHADE, muzic.net.nz
"Coming from diverse musical backgrounds, the sound is a funky blend of metal, rock, grunge, with a hint of classical and Flamenco thrown in to the mix. Their sound wasn’t as heavy as I’d been led to believe, but there is a metal attitude running through it (similar to Agent, but not quite as funk driven nor metally)."
— Alistar Wickens, NZ Musician
