Amidst these changes and intense domestic touring, the band recorded and released its debut EP '' Canvas of Silence'' in 2014. With their most enduring line-up, they released their debut and latest album '' Insignify'' (2018). Etymology Vocalist Vats Iyengar stated in a 2015 interview that drummer Praveen Kumar came up with the name Rainburn. He also explained: "I'm a big fan of bands that work with opposites. Like Led and Zeppelin or Black and Sabbath. The name suggests that we are covering a very wide spectrum of music. I like Metallica but that kind of name would be so limiting to me. Rainburn allows us that luxury." History Rainburn was founded by keyboardist Avik Chakravart ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Canvas Of Silence
''Canvas of Silence'' is the debut extended play by Indian progressive rock band Rainburn, released on 31 October 2014. The band went through three line-up changes during the EP recording sessions: founding member and keyboardist Avik Chakravarty quit and was replaced by Ashwin Ethiraj, who quickly left too. The remaining members then decided to hire a second guitarist instead, Abhishek Prakash, who was also a very brief addition until he was replaced by Toshimoa Jamir. Also, they even ran out of money during the recording process. Regarding the EP's music, drummer Praveen Kumar said the band "deliberately ventured on an experimental side", while vocalist Vats Iyengar saw some "subtle Indian elements". After the EP's release, they intended to tour in order to promote it and were also looking for a label via which they could release their debut full-length album.

Fuel A Dream
A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work. The concept was originally applied solely to those materials capable of releasing chemical energy but has since also been applied to other sources of heat energy, such as nuclear energy (via nuclear fission and nuclear fusion). The heat energy released by reactions of fuels can be converted into mechanical energy via a heat engine. Other times, the heat itself is valued for warmth, cooking, or industrial processes, as well as the illumination that accompanies combustion. Fuels are also used in the cells of organisms in a process known as cellular respiration, where organic molecules are oxidized to release usable energy. Hydrocarbons and related organic molecules are by far the most common source of fuel used by humans, but other substances, including radioactive metals, are also utilized. Fuels are contrasted with other substances or dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
