A Storm of Light – Lifeless

The guitars at the start of “Lifeless” hang slow and steady and mean, suggesting the convoluted doom that’s familiar from A Storm of Light’s previous output. But the drums are fast, seemingly caught in a perpetually tumbling roll. that holds until the riff falls in line with the rhythm and the song rolls ahead, like an especially swift battle tank moving into position. That’s largely the premise of Nations to Flames, which finds the New York trio speeding up its songs without slimming their heft much at all. When “Lifeless” heads for its coda, supporting the band’s full weight with drums that refuse to languish beneath it, the strategy feels loaded and wonderful. Southern Lord releases Nations to Flames on September 17.

Metal Sucks

Metal Sucks.

“A Storm of Light…are back to bring more of the epic doom goodness for which they’re known. I absolutely love the production and mixing on “Fall,” streaming courtesy of Revolver; it’s big and it’s clear, but it retains that rawness that’s so essential to this type of metal. Sonically speaking it reminds me a lot of Mastodon’s Leviathan…”

American Aftermath

“A Storm of Light have premiered the first official taste of their upcoming record, Nations to Flames, over at Revolver. The new song is entitled “Fall” and it is hard hitting, sludge-ridden and straight to the point. It hits like freight train and grinds you underneath its wheels.”

First track premiered on Revolver

A STORM OF LIGHT: New Track Now Playing At Revolver

Today Revolver Magazine offers up an exclusive track premiere from New York’s favorite metal conjurers, A STORM OF LIGHT. Titled “Fall,” the battering tune serves as the opener of the band’s forthcoming new studio offering, Nations To Flames.

Nations To Flames was recorded with Travis Kammeyer (OCOAI, Generation Of Vipers) at Fahrenheit Studios in Johnson City, Tennessee,mixed with Matt Bayles (Isis, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Botch, Mastodon) at Red Room Recording in Seattle, Washington and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, From Ashes Rise, Nails) at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon. Boasting some of the band’s heaviest, most confrontational and wholly thought-provoking material to date, the 11-track opus includes Soundgraden’s Kim Thayil and Indian/Nachtmystium’s Will Lindsay on select tracks.

Elaborates founding guitarist/vocalist Josh Graham of the song: “Writing that song truly changed the scope of the record. It paved the way for this album and gave us clarity in what we should be playing.”

Experience the sprawling “Fall,” now playing at Revolver, at THIS LOCATION.

The follow up STORM’s critically-acclaimed 2011 opus, As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade, centers itself around the apex of human failure. Nations To Flames bears witness to the fall of all governments, all nations, and all religions.

Nations To Flames will be released in the North America via Southern Lord Recordings on September 17, 2013.

A STORM OF LIGHT / SOUTHERN LORD







A STORM OF LIGHT TO UNLEASH NEW FULL LENGTH VIA SOUTHERN LORD
Following their 2011 album As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade and a rapturous response to their 2012 shows with the likes of Converge, Sleep, Corrosion Of Conformity, Torche and Valient Thor – A Storm Of Light will return this year with a brand new record – and we are proud to announce that Southern Lord will be releasing it.
A Storm Of Light’s third album As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade was the band’s heaviest and most dynamic release to date bringing together the colossal energies and forces of the group, not to mention an assemblage of prestigious guests.
The new album, entitled Nations to Flames, was recorded with Travis Kammeyer (Fahrenheit Studios) and mixed with Matt Bayles (Red Room) and is currently being mastered ready for our listening pleasure later this year. 
The band are giving very little away as yet but did state that the music on the record is “faster, much darker and noisier” and they also revealed that…”on this record, we have finally found ourselves” – which gives us much to look forward to.
More information as well as track-listing, artwork and audio will be revealed in due course.
So now, all we can do is await the new record with baited breath…
