Italy’s STORM{O}, one of our most crushing and game changing discoveries in chaotic / dark hardcore 4 years ago, finally returns with a new full-length album entitled “Ere”! The four-piece from the province of Belluno already called growing attention with their first full-length “Sospesi Nel Vuoto Bruceremo In Un Attimo E Il Cerchio Sara Chiuso” in 2014 and is now setting off to the next step in their career. With “Ere”, the band delivers 13 songs of pretty intense and diverse Hardcore that are housed in a nice inside out printed gatefold cover released by one of the most important DIY hardcore / post hardcore / post metal labels, Moment of Collapse Records, Shove and Legno. Stay tuned till the official LP/CD/Tape/Digital release on February 2nd, and watch the menacing new video for the track “Lama”, brought to you by Chariot Of Black Moth!
The band commented:
“Ere is something essential for us and we’re working on it from a long time. It holds what has changed in our lives in these years and it tells about what remains despite everything. We’re glad to start sharing with you all some fragments of it”
Hailing from the small town of Feltre (province Belluno), finally returns with a new full-length album entitled “Ere”. The four-piece from the province of Belluno already called growing attention with their first full-length “Sospesi Nel Vuoto Bruceremo In Un Attimo E Il Cerchio Sara Chiuso” in 2014 and is now setting off to the next step in their career. With “Ere”, the band delivers 13 songs of pretty intense and diverse Hardcore that are housed in a nice inside out printed gatefold cover released by Moment of Collapse Records. have been on the map since 2005. Their name is derived from the mingle of a dark storm and the Italian word for a flock of black birds (“stormo”). This imaginary union is graphically described by the two brackets that represent the flock of birds, and the letter “o” between the two brackets, representing a drop. Storm{O} play a unique mixture of pulverizing Hardcore that is guided by an aggressive and fast drumming. The furious song structures are leading into brilliant set breaks that mark the only spots to gasp for breath. The guitars act in the frame of a dynamic songwriting that leaves space for a couple of uplifting moments and the bass adds a discreet noise-rock edge. The basis of Storm{O}’s sound always remains as a harsh, driven and distorted wall of uncompromising Hardcore that is a good reminder of the early works of bands such as Uranus, Converge, Orchid or Catharsis. The screamed Italian vocals vary from anxious spoken words, to angry shouts and desperate screams. These guys de! nitely never lose their intensity and convince on full scale as they are sharing this collective passion for intense music, paired with a unique form of expression. The band played hundreds of shows sharing the stage with bands such as La Dispute, Grime, Unsane, Lento, Big Business, Bane, More Than Life, Celeste, Year Of No Light and many more.
“Ere” was recorded and mixed by Riccardo Pasini at Studio73, Italy and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music, New York.
