DESERT STORM - Buried Under the Weight of Reason DESERT STORM

Desert Storm are a formidable force in British heavy metal. Hailing from Oxford, England, the band formed in 2007 and has since carved out a reputation for their genre-defying blend of stoner, sludge, post-metal, and doom. Now, 19 years deep into their journey, they remain impossible to pigeonhole—constantly evolving, yet unmistakably Desert Storm. If you’re drawn to titanic riffs, intricate sonic textures, and vocals that balance ferocity with raw emotion, Desert Storm deliver that and more. Their upcoming new album is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2023’s acclaimed Death Rattle. Released worldwide via the renowned Italian label Heavy Psych Sounds Records (home to legends like Pentagram, Witchcraft, Conan, and Mondo Generator), the record marks a bold step forward for the band. The sound is massive—raw and unforgiving—yet layered with moments of elation and electrical ecstasy. Desert Storm continues to push boundaries with a sound that’s as heavy as it is honest. This is not just metal—it’s a cathartic release. A reckoning. For maximum impact: play LOUD With their latest body of work, Desert Storm carves out a sound that is as primal as it is progressive—melding sludge, doom, and heavy metal weight with moments of softness, space, and surprising vulnerability. Across these tracks, the band summons the wilderness, ceremony, and chaos of the human condition, pushing their sound into new territories while staying true to their instinct for heaviness.
