"...a sludgy brand of technical death metal that sometimes pick-up grindcore and punk hitchhikers along their particular route, only to brutally murder them and dump their remains in remote drain ditches." - HellrideMusic.com
Taking influence from a variety of stoner rock, grindcore, death metal, progressive and punk, Storm King was formed in Pittsburgh, PA in April of 2006 over a fine, fine case of a beer by the same name.
For the first year and a half, Storm King was a 3 piece of Scott Massie (Bottomfeeder, the Bully Cats), Adam Weston (Afterlife, Monolith) and Tom D’Andrea (Unfortunate Friend, Pittsburgh Fire Fighters Memorial Pipe Band), with the addition of Andy Kichi (EnemyMind) and Mark Bogacki (Mark Bogacki) just months before the band’s first show and recording in April of 2008. In the beginning, SK was slower and more doom oriented, as the original idea was to go a route similar to bands like Down, the Sword, and Seasons in the Abyss era Slayer, but when the new guys showed up, all that changed. Bogacki brought with him an eclectic vibe that roots itself in hardcore and post-punk, while Kichi added a much more technical side to the music with his incorporation of black and death metal stylings.
Like the arctic blast of discontent, Storm King’s lyrics ride a fine line between stream of consciousness and prose. With an aggressively punishing delivery on themes of apathy, depression, hate and decay, one quickly realizes that this is not a “feel good” band. In one interview, Massie states, “I used to sing in bands about hating the world, but now most of my lyrics are about hating myself. Sometimes you’ll get a story, but for the most part, it tends to get pretty abstractly introspective.”
An EP, a split, 2 singles and a full length album have all been released on the Innervenus Art & Musek label (www.innervenus.org), which is owned and operated by members of the band. Storm King is currently seeking labels, endorsements, sponsors, distribution and heavy shows throughout PA, OH, WV, MD and NY. Maybe you have an offer - Get a hold of us.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David
