Desert Storm are a formidable force in British heavy metal. Hailing from Oxford, England, the
band formed in 2007 and have 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 ri s, intricate sonic textures, and vocals that balance ferocity with raw
emotion, Desert Storm deliver that and more.
Their latest album, “Buried Under The Weight Of Reason”, 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, Bongzilla, Conan, and Mondo Generator),
the record marks a bold step forward for the band.
Recorded at Woodworm Studios in Oxfordshire and mixed/mastered by Joe Clayton of Pijn at Nø
Studio, “Buried Under The Weight Of Reason” is both punishing and transcendent. The sound is
massive—raw and unforgiving—yet layered with moments of elation and electrical ecstasy.
Desert Storm continue 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.
