Bands You Should Know: Like a Storm

Like a Storm isn’t exactly one of those bands you’ve never heard of, but I guess I was late to the party. I stumbled across them on Twitter. Their page was suggested to me based on my other likes, so I went to YouTube and listened to “Love the Way You Hate Me.” I don’t think it’s a big surprise that after finding everything I could online, I ordered their 2015 release Awaken the Fire.

For those of you who are like I was and are unfamiliar with Like a Storm, the band hails from New Zealand. They fall into multiple genres, including hard rock and alternative metal. But they are also in a category that is all their own: didgeridoo metal. Wanna know why? Well, just check out the songs below.

“Love the Way You Hate Me”

“Wish You Hell”

“Ordinary” (my personal favorite)

More News: Cold is Back!

So I saw this on Instagram. Apparently, Cold is going into the studio next month to begin work on a new album. Also, Terry Balsamo, formerly of Evanescence, is back in the band.

This makes me happy! I loved Cold, and I am very excited that they are coming back!

Weekly Focus: Linkin Park, Day Six

I love this song! One of our local bands, Within Reason, covered it in their live set for a while. ❤
