Stormblown is a progressive black metal band. Their music contains several influences, such as doom metal, folk metal, death metal and classical music.
Stormblown was founded by Alex Melching a.k.a. Skyggesang in 2005, after his first band fell apart. At first, Stormblown was the name he gave to his home-made recordings, where a sort of one-man coverband started to take form. After he recorded all tracks of Dimmu Borgir’s Stormblåst album (which is where the band’s name comes from; “stormblåst” = “storm blown”), Alex decided it was time to forge a line-up and write his own songs.
The drummer from the previous band Tjerk Hoekstra immediately joined in and a few weeks later the first rehearsal took place in June 2006, with their quickly found guitarist, Jens de Vries. It was remarkable how easily songs were written and how well the new band members got along with each other, without Jens even knowing the other two prior to this first rehearsal. They still needed a bass player though, and this position was taken by an acquaintance to Jens, Ate de Vries. Again, he fitted in perfectly and the band started activities really fanatically.
The first demo, called "...And Mayhem Commences", was released in November 2007. In the meantime, Stormblown played several gigs throughout Friesland, The Netherlands. In March 2008 however, the band was put on hold due to a long-lasting illness of Tjerk Hoekstra. The other three band members didn't look for another drummer and went their own ways for the time being.
In January 2009, the members of Stormblown decided to continue. Tjerk was getting well enough to play drums again. So, with renewed enthusiasm and new experiences, mayhem is about to commence once again...
Below is a video of an interview with Stormblown. For now, it's Dutch only, but subtitles are on their way.
New album: “MORBIDE ELITE” - coming soon on Iron Age Records !
Since worldwide crisis with wars and famine are a true human pain, the drunk poor pest-brewing trolls got their good times. Since their pact with the crows their succes became giant. The drunk trolls are dead, the New Elite is born. We write in times where people are praying their God for forgiving their sins, to keep away His thorn of disease. Expect a mindblowing fast black metal masterpiece with a confronting sound of medieval infecting grief. The whole world is dying.
