STORMWARRIOR are known worldwide for their unique style combining True Heavy Metal anthems with the concept of Nordic mythology. Hailing from Northern Germany and greatly inspired by the 80’s metal scene, especially the Hamburg Metal godfathers like Helloween and Running Wild, the band was founded by Lars Ramcke.
After releasing 2 demo tapes and playing dozens of live shows, Stormwarrior finally got the attention of one of their all time idols Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray/ex-Helloween) and recorded their selftitled debut album with him in Hamburg based Hansen Studios. The album hit the stores in July 2002 and praise from all corners of the globe has been streaming in since then.
Successful festival appearances at the Wacken Open (Ger), Gates Of Metal & Motala Metal Festival (Swe), a tour with Iron Savior and the EP „Heavy Metal Fire“ followed.
End of 2003 STORMWARRIOR entered Hansen Studios again to record the strongly awaited second album “Northern Rage” which was released in June 2004 and proved once more that Stormwarrior are on the right path to reach the level of the bands that had once inspired them.
After the successful release of "Northern Rage" they were invited to support Gamma Ray on their Japan tour and to play all the big festivals like Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock (UK), MANOWAR's Magic Circle Festival and Earthshaker during the past summers. And besided proving that they are one of the hottest live acts of our times STORMWARRIOR added a special set to their live show, which they played together with Kai Hansen celebrating old Helloween classics of the glorious “Walls” era.
Now the band is back with their 3rd studio album "Heading Northe", recorded in their own "Thunderhall Studio" and mixed by Piet Sielck (Savage Circus, Iron Savior). The final mastering was done by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Hammerfall, Pretty Maids a.o.) in his Jailhouse Studios in Denmark.
Much like a thunderstorm, "Heading Northe" is full of power and energy. Riffs cutting like razorblades, pushing drum and bass attacks and melodies that stay etched in your mind! With “Heading Northe” Stormwarrior stay true to their music, measuring up to the highest standards – that..s pure metal without any mediocrity!
