How did i discover you?

LUB · June 6th, 2005, 06:52 PM

hey all. i was wondering how you discovered this band? (apart from bandmembers!!)

For me it was pure luck. i joined the bloodstock forums around july last year, and i found a post about some band (who id never heard of!

) called mercury rain. there was a link to the website and some samples of a new album called 'St matthieu'. Once i heard Sonias fantastic vocals i was hooked. i bought said album at the bloodstock festival (sold to me by obsydian! he signed my shirt as well!what a guy!!) and i listedned to not much else for the next month or so, i then hunted down a copy of dark waters on amazon as i was informed that you had sold out here. Im looking forward to catching you live for the first time at damnation

....

so thats it, any other takers???

And I gave you your pen back too!

I discovered MR in my flat after having insisted on Sonia meeting Jon in a safe place - you never know what wierdos are around

I discovered MR by pure luck too

I'm registered on Edguy's forums, and some guy registered.(It was Rich

) I clicked on his name on the "last registered member" and found out a link to Mercury Rain's website. It was in summer 2003.

There was a link to "Bride Of The Dark" mp3... I downloaded, loved and registered on the former MR forums

ha, a classic one.

we're on the same record label as Mercury Rain, and when the record label were supposed to send us the first 150 copies of the album, they sent us Mercury Rain ones instead
