Embrace the Storm – Winds of Transformation

Our new symphonic metal song deals with chances and challenges of transformation. At some point of our life, we have to face changes, or metaphorically speaking, embrace the storm. This song has been recorded in an international team and is now available on all platforms.

As some of you may know, I am a big fan of metal music. Especially symphonic and progressive metal make my heart beat faster, because of its complexity and emotion. I always wanted to write a song like that, and in 2021 I simply did. Some hours later, Gabrielle Gold, who is also a big fan of the genre, sent me some great lyrics and a draft for the vocal melody. This big arrangement needed a skilled band, including a classically trained vocalist. It has been extremely hard to find the right people, which is why it took nearly 4 years to record the song. Our patience rewarded us with a badass team consisting of Nadia Selvaggi on the vocals, who originally came from classical and church music, but has a big heart for rock, metal and trip hop – Sebastien Jean on guitars, whose solo project Elirah’s Cross stands for complex progressive metal with big solos. I am happy that this team found together and turned our draft into something huge.

Lyrically, “Embrace the Storm” is about changes and overcoming inner resistance. You can clearly read that Gabrielle’s writing is inspired by nature, and she used the metaphor to create an epic imagery. Musically, this song is quite complex with multiple key changes, triplet meters and intricate counter melodies. We recorded over 40 tracks of pure epicness.

“Embrace the Storm” is now available on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp. Please listen, share or simply write a comment on SoundCloud or YouTube. We appreciate every listen.
