Rocknworld.com review of the Chicago show

by Mark Hensch

Brooklyn’s A Storm of Light redeemed the evening with a set that damn near stole the show. The band’s sound fit the venue perfectly, their wandering, ethereal metal floating freely through the air. Tranquil yet traumatizing, the exquisitely clear material was further rounded out by a surreal video package and haunting lyrics courtesy of a new female co-vocalist. Visceral and gripping, it was the perfect thing to catch people’s wandering attentions prior to the main attraction.

Forgive Us Our Trespasses


As of April 1 2009, we have finished recording our second full length entitled Forgive Us Our Trespasses. The recording will be released by Neurot Recordings on CD/DLP in the fall of 2009. The album moves forward with Storm’s sound, more emphasis on vocals and dynamics, while still keeping the heaviness intact.

The album will feature several collaborations with musicians including Jarboe (swans), Lydia Lunch, Nerissa Campbell (as heard on the Primitive North release), Andy Rice (ex-sinking ships), and of course Joel Hamilton (book of knots, battle of mice). Joel is not only recording this release, but it also playing on it as well. We are recording at Strangeweather and Studio G, both located in Brooklyn. Look for new songs posted in April or May. We will be playing some of new material live on the upcoming European tour.
