Anything from the New Wave of British Metal to the Glam/Hair Metal from the States and not to forget The Bay Area Trashers !!!! Oh and then we had the grunge influence come in also...
Stormwind was born in 1988 from a group of school friends interested in becoming rockstars. They got their stuff together, learned how to riff some tunes and made it into the Azorean-Portuguese Metal scene with their high energy shows fronted by the unforgetable Joao Pimentel and the intricate songs portraing societies worst kept secrets. Their musical background came from the greats. Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns'N'Roses, Motley Crue,etc., were some of the bands these kids grew up listening to and subsequently paved the road that Stormwind would end up trying to drive into. Some recordings, mostly demos and the winning of a contest where "Racism Sucks" was one of the tunes on an all Portuguese rock/metal bands compilation made Stormwind achieve a relevant status in the Azorean music scene that nowadays still remains. They are now considered one of the pionneers of the Azorean Metal Revolution alongside bands like Morbid Death, Wreck Age and Classic Rage.
Songs like "Motorcycle Girl", "Liberdade" and "Racism Sucks" were favourites among the youth and in 1994 they were nominated and winners of the Best Live Performance for the very last show Fernando Monteiro (drummer) played before he left the band and moved to Canada.
For those who lived that era, went to our shows, friends, relatives, fans or just curious people who would like to know about one of the revolutionary bands from the Azores...This page is for you to enjoy !!!!
