Wounds of Rejection from ...One Day Less (2007)

“[Before The Rain] was first shaped in 1997, when vocalist Carlos D'Água and guitar player Valter Cunha began to share musical ideas that ended as acoustic songs. As time passed by, the acoustic sounds weren't enough to express the emotions and feelings unleashed by Valter and Carlos, and in 1998 they decided to seek the remaining members for the band. But it wasn't until 2001 that a stable line-up was found: Carlos: voice; Valter: guitar; Tiago Ferreira: guitar; André Vasconcelos: bass; Gonçalo Brito: drums.

With this line-up, the band recorded two songs in December 2001: "Be Mine" and "You… My Ruin". This recording was entitled "…and with the day dying light", and was never properly distributed, except for a strict number of individuals, somehow close to the band."

And The World Ends There from Frail (2011)

In the next years, the line-up continued suffering several changes. In 2008, they released their debut album – One Day less.  With continuous changes on their line-up, they managed to find a stable one and released, this year, their second studio album – Frail.
