EPK – StormbounD – December (2022)
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
For fans of Nightwish, Evanescence, Epica, Within Temptation, Delain, Amaranthe
“We believe this album can reach many people inside the metal community, but also, in parts, open-minded non-metalheads. In our humble opinion, it’s just good music. We look forward to fans following our journey that goes from gloomy and despondent to kickass to high and victorious. A melodic prophecy of wrath.
The lyrics on the album tell some interesting stories, some more personal and some global, convey some harsh messages and themes, and deliver a wide array of emotions. We did our best to bring all of that into a cohesive musical surrounding within the realm of metal” – StormbounD

“StormbounD is an outstanding symphonic metal band that combines awesome modern-day heavy music with melody, harmony, and softer pieces… Yael’s vocals are absolutely enchanting and the male-female dialogue with Ofer’s raspy voice is on spot. The band’s performance is very energetic and incredibly charismatic.” – Metalist Magazine

======================================
The album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
A melodic prophecy of wrath.
The lyrics on the album tell some interesting stories, some more personal and some global, convey some harsh messages and themes, and deliver a wide array of emotions. We did our best to bring all of that into a cohesive musical surrounding within the realm of metal.
Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
Desert’s Roar – A cry for freedom from an inner struggle taking place inside the mind of a person feeling controlled and overpowered.
Alter of innocence – The story of a young girl being sexually molested by a person who’s either her biological or spiritual father.
Sacred Lies – Our response to those who try to control us and others because they believe their religion is the only truth. Our most enraged song.
Away from Here – A story of betrayal, and one’s disbelief of his ability to show feelings of regret and empathy, while the betrayed woman responds with forgiveness.
December – This song depicts the destructive force of nature (Symbolized by the monstrous character called “December”) that is here to destroy the human race, especially a western society that is causing global warming, enslaving, and murdering its earthlings and needs to be stopped. The song ends with the voice of a sole survivor that sees the sunrise of a new world after the human race is gone.
Shadows – The story of a somewhat lonely and toxic relationship in which the woman tries to help the man in his battle against his demons and thus save the relationship itself, but to no avail. The woman feels as if she’s left alone in a hopeless war.
Flying High – is an optimistic love song, where the man is a protagonist that helps his loved one overcome her suffering caused by a mental illness.
Fragments – a comparison between a shattered person and the society in which he lives.
Child’s Play – The victory of creation, the libidinal energy, and one’s motivation over negativity and scorn.
L-R – Yuval Partush (Drums), Rotem Sadia (Keyboard), Ofer Friedman (Guitar & Vocals), Yael Horwitz (Vocals), Shani Friedman (Guitar), Pavel Kleiman (Bass)

Symphonic metal act StormbounD is an astonishing combination of well-crafted instrumentalism and the breath-taking vocals of lead singer Yael Horwitz. The band is the musical theater you must visit, which will carry you everywhere from the angelic to the diabolic, from joyous harmony to sheer loneliness, and from the beauty to the beast.
The band was formed in 2018 in Tel-Aviv, Israel by bassist Pavel Kleiman and guitarist and vocalist Ofer Friedman. Next to join were Ofer’s wife Shani Friedman on guitar, Yuval Partush on drums, Rotem Sadia on the keyboard, and Yael Horwitz as lead singer. All members of the band are well-established professional musicians.
Shortly after its formation the group began writing and performing and made a unique mark in the local heavy music scene. During the last year, the band took part in all major metal events and festivals in Israel and its upcoming show will soon be sold out.
The band has released two singles /videos so far “Desert’s Roar” and “Altar of Innocence”.
During the summer of 2022, the band will release its debut album “December”.
