Lest we forget Werk 80 II, Atrocity hadn't offered anything new in terms of full-length since 2004's Atlantis. 2010 finds them with a different musical approach, they blend ethnic elements with metal music, to be more precise, metal elements with ethnic music, but is it actually that new? They've tried it before back in 1995 on Calling The Rain again with the collaboration of Yasmin Krull, performing the female vocals and the flute. The only thing that seperates 1995's release with 2010's After The Storm is the better production, the slightly more metallic character and... different compositions almost exactly in the same vein. Oh and the fact that the first one was calling for rain and the second one is after the storm, in the next 15 years there will be the rain album, because they seem to have skipped this chapter.

I never liked Atrocity, but this album is amazing. It seems that different band made this.

I like this more than their industrial stuff that predeced this album over many years (apart from the first two albums, which are their best imo).
The style resembles Calling the Rain.
It should have a "Gothic Metal" tag, definitely leaving out the "industrial" here.
Transilvania is the highlight here for me.
