Rain Delay is formed on January 5th 2003, in Belgrade, Serbia, initially as a three-piece-acoustic-project. They debuted with album As I Bequeath My Yesterday (2005), and thus positioned themselves as a promising and daring young doom/black metal band. Sophomore album We Forget (2008) represented a very listenable, almost radio-friendly, sui generis form of fusion metal, rooted primarily in melodic death/doom.

In the meantime the band played numerous concerts and festivals, in over 40 towns in their homeland Serbia, such as the famous EXIT festival in Novi Sad (2006 & 2009). Also, they were the opening act for bands like Katatonia, Charon and Antimatter, and shared the stage with Moonspell, Deathstars, Sabaton and Kathaarsys.

In their illustrious career the band received numerous awards, like 1st prizes won on Gitarijada Ratkovo (in Ratkovo, Serbia, 2009), Moto Fest "Memorijal Goran Ostojić" (in Jagodina, Serbia, 2010) and CMOK Fest (in Crvenka, Serbia, 2010), after which the band received an offer to record their their album in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately for the band, the UK venture was cancelled. Nevertheless, the band released their third album Slumber Recon (2011), considered to be the best by many of their fans.
