Re-release of the debut full-length album by Israeli Progressive Rock/Metal band.
Founded as a school Rock-band in 1999, Stormy Atmosphere stepped into the Progressive genre in 2002. Since then it has been self-promoted by the band members, setting shows and festivals with other local bands and several booking agencies.
Stormy Atmosphere delivered a fine debut album of the kind that should find favour amongst fans of mainstream oriented Metal such as Nightwish but with a taste and desire for material of a somewhat more sophisticated nature. Dual male and female vocals with theatrical and operatic delivery are something of a cornerstone feature, supplemented by a varied musical backdrop that touches upon ballad oriented Rock, Folk music and Power Metal in addition to accessible Progressive Metal. A band and an album well worth taking note of by those who find this description tantalizing.
The unlikely use of Folk instruments, the Progressive music, the female and male vocals, and the melodic make this album one of the best releases of the year. This is a masterpiece!!
For fans of: Dream Theater, Symphony X, Evergrey, Pain Of Salvation, Ayreon, Nightwish, Kamelot and more!!
