Desert Storm

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.
