Storm of Particles is an Italian melodic death metal four-piece that came to be in March 2015 after Giacomo Biondelli (guitars), Lorenzo Pavesi (drums) and Matteo Anselmi (guitar and vocals) met for the very first time.. While most of the members seem to be new comers, guitarist and vocalist Matteo Anselmi (ex-member of Bleeding Stars, Fallen Sky, and a few others) rounds out the team with some additional experience.
At the beginning the repertoire only contained covers of well-known metal bands, but from May 2015 the three boys decided to join their forces to write exclusively their own pieces.
In August 2015 Letizia Tuccia (bass) took part in the project.
The band continued writing new music and performing live shows, and in March 2016 they have unleashed a five song self-titled demo to officially present themselves, which has been making some waves in the metal community as of late.
Truthfully, Storm of Particles is a little rough around the edges as far as the audio quality in concerned and, sadly, it’s the biggest downfall. The demo was clearly on a lower budget, catering to more of an analog cassette approach that does aid in the concept of the band’s name, but that’s about it. All the instruments are captured alright, though the drums can sound a bit more on the distant side due to this and the mastering involved as opposed to the vocals that sound much closer. The guitars also lack some bite at times, such as during the solos, due to favoring cleaner chords instead of the harsher, deeper distortion presented that works nicely with the bass guitar you don’t always hear. When not favoring that darker, heavier side, the music can seem a bit weak and even cluttered. Thankfully this doesn’t always get in the way of enjoying this release.
Storm of ParticlesStorm of Particles is a very promising debut recording from the band of the same name, though one could only wish it were a little better in the studio and mastering departments. The performances themselves are often brilliant and leave you not only with a lasting memory of the many addicting passages strewn about, but also feeling a surge of energy through your body from the material. There is no denying this Italian quartet has the chops and ability to run with the big dogs, which is a surprise in and of itself. Rarely do you ever get such a tightly knit and memorable demo recording this day and age, especially from such an early point in the band’s career. Storm of Particles is a name you’re going to want to remember, and a five song recording fans of the melodic death metal genre definitely need to hear. - Apoch's Metal Review
