NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – October 13, 2017
For Fans of Nightwish, Epica, Kamelot, Wintersun
Out Now! North American Release Italian Symphonic Metal SOUND STORM “Vertigo”
New Video “Forsaken”
European Tour Dates w/MirrorMaze
Unleashing their third studio album “Vertigo” in Europe last December via Rockshot Records, Italian symphonic metallers Sound Storm have now made the release available in North America officially as of October 13th.
Digital and CD album order for North America available on Amazon at https://tinyurl.com/y7fngh4t
“Vertigo” was produced in the Netherlands at Sandlane Recording Facilities with Joost Van Den Broek (Epica, Ayreon, Xandria) and is something more than a metal album, the music has a cinematic purpose. The overall concept of “Vertigo” is a Victorian – steam punk story, firstly based on Dante’s Inferno idea and then developed to a more psychological/introspective tale. Gabriel is the main character of the story, an unsuccessful composer who becomes a scientist, starting a war against his troubled mind and forcing himself to destroy everything beloved. The only handhold seems to be a mystic dragonfly, leading Gabriel among the floors of a huge spiral staircase.
Music video “Forsaken” filmed during the band’s performance at the 2016 Lucca Comics and Games, one of Europe’s largest comic cons.
Watch it now at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6xANkMtPc
In additional news, those in Europe will be able to see Sound Storm‘s live musical as the band enjoys a massive use of cinematic elements (video, fireworks, pyros, led lights etc) to transform their fiction into reality.

“What you have is a forward looking, very deep and multi-layered progressive album that draws a just bit on past works.” – Metal Underground (Review Vertigo)
“Vertigo offers something really impressive, it is great symphonic power metal with some forward thinking meaning that they sound very fresh and exciting. The arrangements, the songs, everything is great on this album and I don’t think it has any weaknesses – not any worth mentioning anyway. I find this to be very appealing and when it comes to making symphonic power metal I think you will have to look very long and very hard to find anything that rivals these guys.” Hallowed
““Vertigo” is a very accomplished album with great thought given to the music and the lyrics, as well as the atmospheric nature of the record. As in most Symphonic Metal albums, this album features blistering lead guitar work and choir vocals. Operatic vocals and cello melodies are incorporated to give an epic feel to the tracks. However, this album varies from other albums of similar sounding bands due to the band’s commitment towards, not only aural gratification, but also the way they set about creating a visual tapestry with their tunes.” – Metal Temple
“Each song on itself is a masterpiece filled with symphonic and power metal parts accompanied by great guitar riffs and solo’s. To complete the picture with songs like “Metamorphosis” they each tell their own story and yet when they are put together they show us the world of Gabriel the main character…This album is by far one of the best ones to come out in a while, it has the whole package a story, skilled band members, great producing and it’s as original as it can.” – Grimm Gent (Review Vertigo)
“Sound Storm may seem an epic power metal band. Occasionally, they emit a vicious edge. The compelling melodies of singing and guitar work cannot be counted on one hand. Everything is accompanied by a lot of electronic and symphonic pieces. After a brief intro ‘The Dragonfly’ sounds like a fairytale splendor with its many different styles and parts. Everything is brought with a good dose of bombast.” – Lords of Metal (Review Vertigo)
“Like Parmigianino painting a beautiful landscape in the 1500’s, Sound Storm paints its own masterpiece with each band member adding broad strokes to the soundscape of ‘Immortalia.'” – Metal Underground (Review Immortalia)

https://yesterdazenews.com/2017/10/11/album-review-nervcast-locked-and-loaded/
There is no doubt they should have a record label signing them in the near future and hopefully a full length LP to follow. This album was a very pleasant surprise to me. I used to love this kind of music back in the day and to hear it still being done in modern times with the old sound was a great treat. I love the fact that it has such a raw sound and it is not overly polished. I can’t wait to hear more music from this wildly talented band.
0 Voir – Insurrection – Extraction
https://voir.ca/albums/insurrection-extraction/
L’influence d’Obliveon a toujours été présente dans le style death technique d’Insurrection, mais sur Extraction, elle s’exprime aussi à travers la production calibrée, qui évoque par moment la mécanique sonore de Cybervoid, paru en 1996 (écoutez Parasite). À cela s’ajoute la présence du chanteur d’Obliveon, Bruno Bernier, sur Data Extracted… End Transmission. Au-delà des parallèles avec le groupe culte des années 1990, Insurrection garde le cap en proposant des morceaux accrocheurs, qui s’inscrivent dans la continuité de l’album Prototype (2013).

Montreal, QC – October 12, 2017
For fans of Motorhead mixed with Dissection
WARCALL Premiere Album Stream “Invaders” via Decibel Mag
Out October 13th via Plan B Music
European Tour Dates (FR/DE/BE/CZ)
L-R: Phil – Drums, Mat – Guitars, Gord – Vocals and Bass
Inspired by Iron Maiden, Metallica, Motorhead, Dissection and Slayer, WARCALL’s music is fast, aggressive, melodic and dramatic. Unleashing three well-received albums under their bullet-belts (‘Demonarchy’, ‘Blood, Guts and Dirt’, ‘III’), this Montreal, QC power-trio’s fourth assault “Invaders” hits the mosh pit on October 13th via Plan B Music.
Featuring 10 tracks, the album is concept release based on humans fighting back an alien invasion with a message of fighting oppression, resisting, reconquering, but without knowing if it is really over.
Teaming up with Decibel Magazine, WARCALL are premiering the album’s full stream at the following link: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2017/10/12/full-album-stream-warcalls-invaders/
Vocalist / guitarists Mathieu Simard comments:
“Everybody who has followed WarCall since our beginnings will be extremely satisfied with ‘Invaders’. It is our best sound, best production, best song writing and best musical performances. The new album is a return to the style on the first two albums. On album ‘III’, we wanted a raw approach so it was recorded live in the studio on analog tape for a truly rock and roll feel. With ‘Invaders’, it’s a more polished production with more energy and experience.”

Music Video “Riding With Zombies” (features stock footage from George A. Romero’s “Night of The Living Dead” movie and is a track about the grueling life of touring.) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e1izPPyeI8
Following the release of “Invaders”, WARCALL will be embarking on their third European tour (dates listed below).
Simard adds about their live set:
“We want our fans to travel into the universe that we create. For a three-piece, we make a lot of noise. We also include scenic elements that remind the audience of a battlefield so the mood is set up from the beginning of the show. And we dress up military style so there is really no confusion as to who is on stage when we play.”
