StormbounD have been together since 2018 and after a lot of work over the years, have a debut album ready to share with the world. “December” is a whirlwind of symphonic metal capturing all the elements one could desire in the genre. Cascading riffs echo against soaring soprano vocals, which are further complimented by deep gritty vocals and the thunder of drums that will have any metalhead whipping their hair around in delight. The band shares their thoughts on the release:

“The lyrics on the album tell some interesting stories, some more personal and some global, convey some harsh messages and themes, and deliver a wide array of emotions. We did our best to bring all of that into a cohesive musical environment within the realm of metal. We believe our album can reach many people inside the metal community, but also, in parts, open-minded non-metalheads. In our humble opinion, it’s just good music.”

“December” has a running time of almost an hour spread over nine tracks full of soaring vocals, a full barrage of guitar riffs, and an immense amount of melody. The lyrical topics usually reflect what they see and experience in modern society such as religion, global warming on one hand represented in the title track and “Fragments” and on the other hand relationships, be it romantic as in “Away from Here” and “Shadows” or others such as “Desert’s Roar”, “Child’s Play”.

The album was produced by StormbounD and Ian Post, it was mixed and mastered by Alex Zvulun at A.G Studio and the album artwork was done by Gogo Melone ART. The band says they are currently working on their second album, so fans can expect a lot more from the StormbounD camp in the near future!

Diverse and harmonic, with hints of darkness while staying heavy, StormbounD is accessible for both metal veterans and those new to the scene. They are recommended for fans of Delain, Amaranthe, and Nightwish.

“December” will be released on August 5, 2022, and before the album officially drops, it can be heard in full on Bravewords HERE.
