Not quite a metal band, but seeing that other hard rock or glam bands are featured, I do not see why these guys shouldn't be here. Great White is one of the better bands from that thoroughly commercial movement of the 80s.

Royal Corvus band was formed in September 2005 and the first band name was Corvus. The name was borrowed from Latin, it translates - the Raven. It is a symbol of the wisdom in most ancient religions of the world. Raven is a carrier of souls across the River of Eternity and a binding link between the fragile edge of the World of Shadows and the World of the Living. Initially, the Corvus band was created as a melodic symphonic gothic metal project, but in the process of development and quality growth joins itself the best of the different trends and styles of rock. Now Royal Corvus band has created more than thirty Russian and English-language songs. Song's sound is very different: from romantic ballads to hard and progressive rock. And nobody of the listeners will not remain indifferent, because everyone will find something in this music for themselves. All this different musical styles are merged in one unique style - Corvus style. Besides his own works band plays covers of classic rock and pop songs. During its long history Royal Corvus band many times was engaged in various kinds of rock and bike festivals in Kharkov, and outside it. The Royal Corvus band received invitations and performed in support to rock stars as: Master, Sergey Mavrin, Epidemia, Catharsis, and vocalist of the legendary bands Rainbow and Deep Purple - Joe Lynn Turner. April 28, 2012 the Corvus band has presented their debut album - Raven Rising. October 24, 2012 Royal Corvus was official support group of SCORPIONS in Kharkov as part of the farewell tour "FINAL STING TOUR" . |

Brutal guitar riffs, versatile vocals, stomping beats and atmospheric synths defines the music, all while retaining their melodic metal roots.
Groove Factor Guaranteed!

It's phenomenal and unlikely band, especially on polish metal scene strongly dominated by black/death metal. Titanium explores quite different musical areas - melodic power metal.
The band has released 2 albums until now, both issued with success in Japan by Avalon/Marquee label. The second LP "Atomic number 22" released on 28.09.2016.
The band was started by the guitarist and main composer Karol Mania, known for symphonic metal band Pathfinder as well.
On vocals we can hear Konstantin Naumenko from Ukrainian SUNRISE band.
Here you can watch their official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAxTbBCIfV0

Innate Concept's musical identity is rooted in the Progressive Metal genre - and the word "progression" is to be taken literally. Innate Concept strives to incorporate elements, instruments and ideas normally not found in classic Progressive Metal. The newest album "Sunset In Our Eyes" combines elements from electronica and classical elements into a whole new and unique sound. A multitude of synthesizers create the atmosphere, color and texture, the mighty Taiko drum ensemble delivers power, groove and impact, while the Armenian Duduk conjures up ethereal melodies, adding yet another layer to the rich-bodied symphonic orchestra. A piano and various acoustic guitars are another integral part of melodic storytelling and quite frequently intertwine with other instruments. All of this takes place planted firmly on the foundation of thundering drums, shredding guitars and a nasty, angry bass. Innate Concept's music is challenging, demanding, cunning, powerful, intense, yet so delicate and fragile. Be prepared, for it will demand your full attention - and it will surprise you if you dare a listen. Debut album can be purchased at http://www.innateconcept.com/shop/ |

The Norwegian progressive metal band Vicinity is back with a follow-up to the critically acclaimed album "Awakening" (2013), named the best newcomer on several websites and Norwegian national radio. Their new creation, "Recurrence", is a concept album focusing on the cyclic nature of humanity, while highlighting both the technical- and melodic aspects familiar to the progressive metal genre.
With "Recurrence" the band focused on making an album that would be more than just the sum of its tracks, and therefore envisioned an album where the songs would float into each other, and at the very end connect with the beginning of the first song, making an "infinite" album; thus mirroring the lyrics. The major theme of the album, lyrically, more or less presented itself; the cyclic nature of humanity. Within that theme, the lyrics explore and challenge topics like dementia, whether the world might be a better place without what humanity has become, and what is left behind when we're gone. As always the band wanted to challenge themselves technically, always trying to do better than the last time. But always keeping the songs and the album as a whole in focus. The result is an album comprising six tracks, varying in length from 5 to 22 minutes per track, at times, but certainly not always; in the tradition of bands like Circus Maximus, Threshold, Arena, Haken, early Dream Theater and Pagan's Mind.
Vicinity started the recording of "Recurrence" in November 2015, at Skarp Studio (Keep of Kalessin, Triosphere, Tellus Requiem), where they tracked the drums. The following months would be spent recording bass, guitars, and keyboards at Vicinity's own recording facilities, once again self-producing the album. Alexander K. Lykke would then record the vocals at Tagline's recording facilities in Trondheim. Mixing duties were handed to Christer-André Cederberg, who had previously mixed both Circus Maximus and Anathema, aiming for- and ending up with a more organic sounding mix than was the case with "Awakening". Mastering was once again handled by Jens Bogren (Symphony X, James Labrie, Opeth, Haken, Headspace and much more).
Vicinity is the musical melting pot of band members Alexander K. Lykke (vocals), Kim-Marius H. Olsen (guitars), Pierre-Nicolai H. Schmidt-Melbye (bass) and Ivar A. Nyland (keyboards). The band draws inspiration from all the kinds of music the band members enjoy listening to, be it classic- or modern prog, rock, pop, classical music, heavy metal or more extreme stuff. Once the musical ideas have been filtered through the band it all comes out sounding like Vicinity anyways, no matter who came up with the initial idea.
Following the release of "Awakening," the band played several gigs in Norway, sharing the stage with bands like Withem, Tritonus, Mindtech, Rudhira and Fuel for Disaster.

Amazing Progressive Metal band from Italy, reminiscent of Dream Theater, Anubis Gate, Circus Maximus.
Bio:
The band was founded in Parma (Italy) in 2008 and, after some line-up adjustements, in 2011 released their first studio work: the EP "Cold Embrace".
Following the widespread approval from the critics and the fans, the following year AVELION started an incessant Live activity, also having the great opportunity to play as opening act for Seventh Wonder (with Tommy Karevik, Kamelot), while at the same time a strong and ever-growing fanbase has developed worldwide.
In 2012 the band also released the promotional single "Falling Down" which sees the collaboration with guitarist Olaf Thorsen (Labyrinth, Vision Divine).
AVELION's second EP, "Liquid Breathing", was published in November 2013, followed by a mini-tour in Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The EP delivers a more personal, modern and mature sound: here we can find, in fact, a Melodic Progressive Metal mixed with Djent influences, all combined with a strong Electronic personality.
In 2015, with Oreste Giacomini and William Verderi as masterminds and main composers, the band entered Domination Studio of Simone Mularoni (DGM) to record their first full length album: "Illusion Of Transparency".
"Illusion Of Transparency" will be out on April 7th, 2017 via Revalve Records.

As narcissistic as it is, I guess I'll vote for my own project to be included as well. This is just to have some legitimacy as an artist and to have a place where people can vote on my music and otherwise give their feedback. Ambient black metal isn't going to make me rich, ever, so hopefully, this isn't too self-serving, giving myself a comment and vote here :) I guess I'll combine my songs into an EP for bandcamp soon, to have something to be featured here.

These guys are amazing. Having formed in Portugal, a country that rarely, if never, showed much towards the Metal genre, they are now releasing their second studio album, "Heartless Oppressor", an incredible work, which is what one could say as the best Hybrid between the Trash and Groove Metal sub-genres. Aggressive, energetic and unforgettable.
They could be the rising of a new metal movement in the country. Last year, Dark Oath gained a lot of attention by releasing their first full-length, having appeared in the most well-known metal festivals of Portugal.
After an album such as powerful as the one they present this year, which, I must add, shows what may, indeed, be called a signature sound, Primal Attack can quickly become a huge name in Europe's Metal Scene. |

Worthing metallers Bleed Again are set to release their debut full-length album, "Momentum" which was was mixed and mastered by Acle Kahney of Tesseract on the May 1st through Sliptrick Records. In the last couple of months, Bleed Again have unveiled singles, "Through My Eyes" and "Decimate", which was premiered by Terrorizer. The Worthing five-piece are one of the freshest modern metal bands to come from the South of the United Kingdom in years. Boasting a style that blends Metalcore with New Wave Of American Heavy Metal, Bleed Again have drawn comparisons to the likes of genre heavyweights Killswitch Engage in terms of sound and live energy. In the last few years, Bleed Again have completed two successful UK tours plus countless other shows including support slots with the likes of Soil, Darkest Hour and Devil Sold His Soul. As well as featuring at Mammothfest regularly, the quintet even delivered one of the best and most memorable performances of the entire festival in 2016, making the video a nice momentum to take away from the event. |

11.04.2017 - AssEatsFoot
I think AssEatsFoot should be on metal storm not only because they are a one of the kind metal band but because they are responsible for creating a genre of its own, Asscore. In Utah, where the band originated, they are a very important part of the grindcore scene and have a respectable following. They have released a plethora of albums and eps and have worked with recording albums with a variety of other artists. It may seem like a joke to those who are looking upon it for the first time but wtih a quick google search or youtube search you will be able to see that even though this band has humorous elements, they are a band none the less and should be noted as the founders of a new style of grindcore. Please give them a chance and listen to the most recent releases, where we have gotten our style toned in and are on an upward spiral. |
