BIOGRAPHY
Sound Storm was founded 2002 in Turin, a city in the north west of Italy. Back in those days the band consisted of six members and played classical heavy metal songs, like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Savatage and many other bands, cover versions. Sound Storm was and is heavy influenced by Symphonic, Epic Metal, Power Metal, Classical and Celtic Folk Music.
The bands first practical experience was gained by gigs around the local music scene in city's pubs. A first demo was recorded in 2003 and included four cover versions of Manowar, Iron Maiden and Savatage.
Soon the band started composing their own material, with the first three or four tracks finished by the end of 2003. The line up of the band changed when the second guitarist Davide left the band at the beginning of 2005 and the previous bass player Saverio was replaced with Massimiliano.
Sound Storm entered the recording studio again to record their first own song - "We are Vikings". For the first time the band performed at live shows with their own creations with songs like: "We are Vikings", "The Loser's Nightmare" and "Queen of the Ice". In October of 2005 the band decided to record six further songs in their own private studio, which resulted in the release of the demo. "The Storm Is Coming" including a re-mix of "We Are Vikings".
In September 2006 Sound Storm entered again the recording studio to record the new Ep, "Northern Wilderness". A totally new version of the song "We are Vikings", re-recorded and re-arranged, even more epic! Sacred Storm got here a new powerful and aggressive sound thanks to new arrangements and orchestrations. "Northern Wilderness" includes a new version of the ballad "Queen of the Ice" and the unreleased "Thunders and Rain", a totally new and epic song, with orchestral interlude and a soprano as special guest. With "Northern Wilderness" Sound Storm became even darker and more introspective, due to a new direction in Sound Storm's style where the epic and viking metal meet gothic and horror atmospheres.
The new Ep has been released on the 1st of February 2007.
In June 2007 the band joins Alkemist-Fanatix Europe management, surely one of the most important agency in Italy regarding management and promotion.
And finally in January 2008 Sound Storm signs a record deal with Risingworks Records and the producer Frank Andiver.
The band is currently working on the debut album, which will be recorded at Zenith Studios and released around the end of the year and distributed by Self Distribution in Italy and by Code7 (via Plastic Head) in the rest of world.
