The Rapture is a dance-punk band based in New York City. The band mixes influences from many genres including post-punk, dance-punk, acid house, disco, electronica and rock.
Rapture is a doom metal/melodic death metal band formed in 1997 by a group of musicians from Helsinki, Finland. The members of Rapture have played in several bands, including Barathrum, Diablerie, Ensiferum, Finntroll, Fragile Hollow, The Mist and the Morning Dew, Rain Paint, Shape of Despair and Thy Serpent.
"Rapture paint with bleak shades yet with clarity second to none. The main songwriter Tomi Ullgren’s soaring guitar leads are tempered with powerful death grunts courtesy of Henri Villberg, a nod to their underground roots perhaps, yet they do not shy away from clearer vocals should the occasion so demand. The beguiling mid-tempo employed is a slow acting poison: you will be hooked before you know it. In a live situation Rapture reproduce their timeless sound with a line-up of eight personnel." -Spinefarm Records
