Midnight Rain started as a project of two long time friends and musicians Boris Šurlan (Raven, Abandon) and Vlad Invictus (Claymore). 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 his friend Vlad Invictus, singer and guitarist in epic power metal band Claymore, to join forces and make some music that was different from their previous bands.
