Solstorm - Eklips

From the weatherbitten west coast of Norway comes a sound so alarming, dismal and alien, you'd be forgiven for thinking the world had gone under.

SOLSTORM (solar storm) is the mindwork of Ognoise, a noise talent from Kopervik on the westcoast of Norway. Emigrating to Bergen with Jaran Hereid and Camilo Beltran from deathmetal act GOLIATHON, they formed the line-up of SOLSTORM together with Helge Taksdal and drummer Mads Lilletvedt (HELLISH OUTCAST, BYFROST). Concentrating mainly on apocalyptic themes, creating the sound of armageddon and the inevitable end of all things SOLSTORM combine noise with doom and anti-euphoric stoner metal.

SOLSTORM combine riffs sharp as nails, beats heavy as a mammoth and a genuine feeling of sheer hopelessness, resulting in one of the most poignant and captivating doom releases in years. Think NEUROSIS and CULT OF LUNA at their heaviest for some kind of reference, but rest assured SOLSTORM scorch their very own hole in the atmosphere.

SOLSTORM released their first full-length in march 2011 through Duplicate Records and the 2nd album "II" was released by Apollon Records in October 4, 2019. "II" was recorded at Taakeheimen Lydrike, Oslo, and Consternation Recording, Bergen. Mixed by Helge Taksdal at Taakeheimen Lydrike, Oslo. Mastered by James Plotkin, New York. Coverdesign by Kristoffer Lundberg.
