New Cross Live presents
Desert Storm
Desert Storm are a four-piece progressive metal band, that have been wielding crushing riffs and grooves into earholes around the world for the past 17 years.
Hailing from Oxford, the city of screaming spires, Desert Storm deliver their own unique brand of heavy music. Their sound is loud, punishing and unforgiving, but also woven with elation and electrical ecstasy.
31st March 2023 saw the release of their latest album 'Death Rattle' on APF Records. The album was recorded & mixed at the beautiful Woodworm Studios in Oxfordshire by Steve 'Geezer' Watkins. The studio used to be owned by legendary folk band Fairport Convention, and in recent years has seen the likes of Tony Iommi, Rob Halford & Orange Goblin recording there.
Once the album was recorded and mixed, it was sent to Portland, Oregon, USA for Brad Boatright at Audiosiege to master (Torche, Nails, High on Fire). The artwork is by David Paul Seymour & layout by Dominic Sohor.
Over the years Desert Storm have been out on countless headline tours and have toured and shared the stages across the UK & Europe with many incredible bands including Crowbar, Orange Goblin, Karma To Burn, Red Fang, Corrosion of Conformity, CKY, American Headcharge, Conjurer and Raging Speedhorn to name a few. In 2023 & 2024 they will tour extensively to support the release of ‘Death Rattle’ including a main stage performance at Bloodstock Open Air with Opeth, Clutch & Hatebreed.
