Stortregn
is a Black/Death metal band formed in Switzerland in 2005. After recording
their first demo in 2007, they recorded Devoured By Oblivion, their first EP,
which garnered a lot of attention and positive reviews.
In
autumn 2010, having toured Cuba, Stortregn recorded their first album,
Uncreation, which was released in June 2011 under Great Dane Records (FR). The
release of the second album, Evocation Of Light, by Great Dane Records (FR) and
Apocalyptic Art (GER) in September 2013, was followed by an Eastern European
tour and a French tour in 2014.
In 2015, they played at Wacken Festival, as finalists of
the Wacken Metal Battle Switzerland.
While
they started by taking influence of the Nordic Black Metal scene, they are
expanding their vision and sound into a more contemporary era. Greatly
appreciated for their music, even more so for their live shows, consisting of a
mix of pig’s blood, charging riffs and blast beats, delivered with a relentless
energy. With nearly 100 gigs including 3 tours (Cuba , Eastern countries and
France), Stortregn has become inevitable in the world of Swiss black/death
metal. After
many changes, the formation has stabilised and the current line-up consists of
Romain Negro on vocals and guitar, Johan Smith on lead guitars, Duran Bathija
on bass guitar and Samuel Jakubec on drums. With
their new upcoming album “Singularity”, which includes prestigious guests
apparances and the artistic mastery of Juanjo Castellano, the band brings back
the agressiveness into the metal world.
