Story of Like A Storm
Like a Storm: A Heavy Metal Force from the Land Down Under
Like a Storm, hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, are a heavy rock band known for their unique blend of hard-hitting riffs, powerful vocals, and the unexpected inclusion of the didgeridoo. They've carved a unique path in the rock world, becoming one of the most successful New Zealand rock bands to break into the American market.
Their signature sound is a sonic assault of heavy baritone guitars, driving drums, and raw vocals, all infused with the haunting, earthy tones of the didgeridoo. This unlikely instrument adds a layer of cultural depth and sonic intrigue to their music, setting them apart from their contemporaries.
Like a Storm's success isn't just a matter of sound; it's about their relentless touring and dedication to connecting with their audience. They've shared stages with some of the biggest names in rock, including Godsmack, Alter Bridge, Korn, and Shinedown, gaining a dedicated following through their high-energy live shows.
Their impact on the American scene is undeniable. Both of their studio albums, "The End of the Beginning" and "Awaken the Fire," debuted on the Billboard 200 charts, a testament to their broad appeal. They've also made waves on the radio, achieving the highest charting position for a New Zealand hard rock band in American radio history.
The band's journey began in New Zealand, but their ambitions quickly took them to North America. In 2009, they were invited to join Creed on their nationwide "Full Circle" reunion tour, a pivotal moment that catapulted them to a wider audience. The overwhelming response to their live performances led to their debut album, "The End of the Beginning," charting on Billboard's New Artist Charts and the Billboard 200, fueled by tour sales alone.
Their dedication to touring continued, and their first single, "Chemical Infatuation," became a rock radio hit, further solidifying their presence. They shared stages with the likes of Shinedown, Skillet, Puddle of Mudd, and Drowning Pool, as well as performing at major festivals like Rock on the Range. "Chemical Infatuation" peaked at No...
This is just the beginning of Like a Storm's story. Their unique sound, relentless touring, and commitment to their craft have made them a force to be reckoned with in the rock world, and they continue to push boundaries, captivating audiences with their powerful music and electrifying live performances.
