Here Comes the Rain is the twenty-third and final studio album by English rock band Magnum. It was released on 12 January 2024 through Steamhammer Records/SPV. It is the final album with founding guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Tony Clarkin following his death on 7 January 2024, just five days before the album's release. The album charted at 2 in Germany, 3 in Austria and 4 in Switzerland, the highest of any Magnum album in all three countries.
Here Comes the Rain was called a success "in creating an outstanding, colourful, varied and inspired" project. Guitarist Tony Clarkin stated that "everyone played their part without [him] dictating anything" by sticking to their intuition and inspiration.[1] The album artwork was once again designed by British artist Rodney Matthews, who has been responsible for numerous Magnum covers.[2] Here Comes the Rain is supported by two singles: "Blue Tango" on 22 November 2023 and "The Seventh Darkness" on 3 January 2024.[3]
In a positive review for Rock Hard, Alexandra Michels chose Here Comes the Rain as the album of the month. Michels opined that the band is unable to deliver a bad album, therefore fans of melodic hard rock should be unequivocal in their support. The author named the tracks "Run into the Shadows", "Blue Tango", "The Seventh Darkness", and "Some Kind of Treachery" as highlights.
