Graduated
as one of the best students in sound design and music production at
the Academy of Arts in Belgrade, Boris started producing songs at his
home studio, simply called „Midnight“. In 2010 he asked Vlad
Invictus, guitarist of
epic power metal band Claymorean, to join forces and make some music
that was different from their previous bands. They composed their
first song „Get Out of My System“ in summer of 2010, but soon
came the idea that this project called „Midnight Rain“ should
involve as many as possible different musicians.
During the first three years of the project, eleven musicians entered the Midnight Studio and total of eight songs were recorded and produced for the debut album called „Evolution I“. Every artist that was involved in the project wasn't just a participant who played by the notes which Boris and Vlad created. Artistic freedom in this case was limitless.

Cover
and booklet art were beautifully done by young and talented concept
artist Nevena Lazarević.
The
music style of Midnight Rain varies from soft acoustic pieces to hard
rocking metal tunes. The co-creators of the
project wished to incorporate different genres in compositions like
blues, jazz, progressive rock, pop, hard rock and metal. Each song is
a unique piece of music, not bound to any specific style. All songs
were mixed and mastered by Boris Šurlan.
Two
videos were recorded so far.
The first video is just a mix of scenes during the recording of the
song „Get Out of My System“. The second video for the song „Just
for You“, was shot and edited by Petar Belaćević (PeripetiA), who
also played the bass guitar on couple of songs. Both videos can be
seen at Midnight Rain's official youtube channel.
Midnight
Rain had many offers for the live shows, but for now Boris and Vlad
don't intend to engage this project as a full performing band due to
the fact that such endeavor is, at this time, very expensive and
complicated.
Midnight
Rain continues working on the next album with new musicians and
artists involved.
One of the main goals is contacting the musicians from all over the
world, because music knows no boundaries and barriers. In case of
this project, always expect the unexpected.
At
the beginning
of September 2014 the new album was finished. The title of the album
is „Truth Is in the Light“. This album was also recorded in
Midnight studio, with Boris as a producer and together with Vlad
Invictus the songwriter of all the tracks. „Truth Is in the Light“
involved the total of 15 guest vocalists and musicians.
