on the track "Lifeless Head Wreathed in Flowers", the band began incorporating sinister synth elements into the sound. it is believed that this would've been the direction they would've headed on the follow-up to Blue Extreme; the deleted album Born Pregnant, which frontman/guitarist Richey Walker promised would be the most depraved and twisted release not only the group would ever produce, but the genre itself would ever produce. only one song ever made it to the public; a demo entitled "Salo Diorama", a near 1/2 hour long track that mixed bong rattling doom, eviscerating PE, and throbbing synth, coupled with samples rumored to be derived from a genuine snuff flim Walker had obtained during his travels to the Philippines. no lyrics were ever made available to the public, but what could be discerned from listening to Walker's performance detail the rape and murder of small children in lurid, graphic detail that brought to mind the works of Peter Sotos; and author Walker had recently discovered.. this proved to be too much for the other members and Walker was ex-communicated from the group.
Without the driving force of Walker (who wrote all the lyrics and roughly 90% of the music), RAINCOATER fell in line with what other bands in the genre were doing, and were lost in the shuffle. They dissolved and all their recording seemed to remain lost. though copies of Blue Extreme still appear on various blogs and auction sites, it is more often then not a bootleg of a 4th-5th generation tape dub, which by either some stroke of luck or genius of design, serves only to enhance the scorched earth prurience of the record's atmosphere. let's hope one of the more adventurous metal labels out there will soon provide a complete remastered discography.
until then, the closest you'll get is on the upcoming split release between Helmsplitter and The Communion on Horror Pain Gore Death Productions, where the Raincoater track "Gallstone Seedbed" will be covered by The Communion.
