Andy Deane

Andy Deane grew up loving the horror movies and romantic comedies of the 80s. He could watch Michael Myers taking out promiscuous teens for 90 minutes and then shift gears to find out who Molly Ringwald was going to choose to be with at the school dance. There was inspiration to be found at both ends of the spectrum... the horrific and the beautiful, the tragic and the hopeful. Either way, a great soundtrack was the one thing that could put a film over the top.

This dichotomy shapes The Rain Within's sound in many ways; The cold synthesizers of John Carpenter and Vangelis colliding with the soulful, catchy pop structures of The Psychedelic Furs and Depeche Mode. Horrorshow is the latest release for The Rain Within and is easily Andy's most aggressive and ambitious work to date. The record explores psychological pain through a visceral lens, and is in many ways an auditory representation of the Body Horror film genre.

Andy has also released four horror novels and is currently working on a fifth. He is a classically trained musician, having several years of vocal training under his belt. He has toured the US extensively and has also performed in Europe, Mexico, Canada, and the UK.
