UK sludge quintet DESERT STORM have
been making a name for themselves since they formed in late 2007. From the
beginning the band have worked hard, with four albums and relentless touring of
the UK & Europe with the likes of Karma To Burn, Nashville Pussy,
Peter Pan Speedrock… and appearances at Bloodstock Festival,
Hammerfest, Hard Rock Hell, Desertfest London and Berlin & Roadkill Festival.
In early 2018, the band released their fourth
album 'Sentinels’ to much acclaim and would see them forge a new
relationship with upcoming label APF Records. Having
spent much of the proceeding years on stage in support of the album, as well as members
going to form the band The Grand Mal and releasing
their debut (also on APF Records), the band
somehow managed to enter the studio again in late 2019 and will return on
1st May 2020 with their fifth album 'Omens'.
While 'Sentinels' was described as their
darkest and heaviest record to date, 'Omens' sees DESERT STORM reaching
a whole new level in terms of songwriting and storytelling. The five
piece have found the balance between their trademark menacing
sludge anthems and introspective, melody-driven moments. DESERT STORM’s new album ‘Omens’ out May 1st on APF Records and you can PREORDER now. You can also check out the brand new track “Pain, Grief & Suffering” below, so turn your stereo up to 11 and watch your speakers die.
Matt Ryan had the following to say about the track "Pain, grief, and suffering" is that place where you are numbed to everything and so disassociated with life that you crave hurt just to feel alive. When you are completely lost, only the hardest emotions can make you feel again.”
