Sea of Rains is comprised of Ramon Fernando (vocals), Joscelyn Balbin (vocals), Jennilee Abobon (bass), Eleoterio Jose Pila (keyboards), Eric Habil (guitars), Jose Miguel Rivera (guitars) and Gilbert Asuque (drums).
Sea of Rains never devolves into mere trip territory, though, and even the long ones convey what the band wants to impart with a cliffhanger whiz that actually makes you want the song to be even longer.
All in all, the musical ambitions of Sea of Rains fit their reach and grasp like a Cenobite rubix in the hands of a madman; the resulting swan song of which is the wolf at the door.

Wilma’s trademark hairstyle, a symbol of her serene tranquility and effectiveness in a crisis, is in fact comprised of the Sea of Serenity (Mare Serenitatis), the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis), and the Sea of Crisis (Mare Crisium).
Her nose is suggested, not inappropriately, by the highlands between the aforementioned Sea of Vapors and the Central Bay (Sinus Medii), which serves as the mouth.
The southwestern border of the Sea of Serenity and northwestern border of the Bay of Asperity (Sinus Asperitatis) furnish her ear, while Wilma’s swan-like neckline is clearly rendered by the eastern border of the Sea of Clouds (Mare Nubium).

This Japanese/Korean deity was the most important god of the sea, a known shape-shifter and controlled the sea and the creatures within it.
He is god of the sea and its creatures and he appears in the story of the hero Ho-Ninigi where he returns a enchanted fish hook lost by the hero's brother.
He could just have been informed by the creatures of the sea of everything happening in it as it seemed that he was able to communicate with them (I presume it because he was able to talk to the "Fish-Men" too).

 Filipino Metal Scene - Review - Sea of Rains - Sadness and Civilization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
This album has been sitting on my collection for almost three months now but it is only lately that I got the chance to fully listen to it, and for that the Gods Of Metal must be really pissed at me. We all consciously or subconsciously take good stuff for granted once in a while.
Conceived Aprillast year, "Sadness And Civilization" is a self-produced CD of four songs and one instrumental all inspired by the same dark, murky thoughts that fuelled such foreign groups as My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost and Anathema.
Except for "Vespertine Flight," which, for me, is the happiest-sounding song in the album, SoR's music is slow and dreamy, with occassional bursts of violent beats and guitar licks.

 RAND | Advanced Publication Search | View Abstract
Abstract: Description of the delivery of the Soviet lunar exploration vehicle to the lunar surface in the Sea of Rains on November 17, 1970 by the Luna-17 mission, derived from literature published in the USSR between that date and May 1971.
The fact that the Lunokhod-1 has thus far traveled nearly 10 km over rugged terrain and apparently continues to do so indicates success of the concept of a remote drone interacting directly with an unknown and hostile environment.
According to Soviet publications, the data flow on the condition of the vehicle's wheels alone exceeds all information received from all the satellites during the first three years of the space era.

Although these maria, or seas, are dry, if there were liquid water on the surface of the moon, it would run down into these areas, for these are lowlands.

900 million years ago, an asteroid the size of the Martian satellite Deimos careered into Earth's Moon on the southern shore of the Sea of Rains.
The asteroid sliced many kilometres deep into the Moon's crust and the almighty explosion that ensued blasted out a giant crater, nearly a hundred kilometres wide, gouged out of solid rock within the space of a few minutes.
The lunar seas were named after moods (Seas of Tranquillity, Serenity) or terrestrial phenomena (Sea of Rains, Ocean or Storms) - a nomenclature influenced to a degree by ancient myths about the Moon's supposed supernatural effects on the Earth and its inhabitants.

To the eyes of his matter-of-fact companions, the aspect of these coasts recalled rather the parceled-out land of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and where the Frenchman discovered traces of the heroes of fable, these Americans were marking the most favorable points for the establishment of stores in the interests of lunar commerce and industry.
