“Chemical Infatuation,” Like A Storm’s first single, is the perfect introduction to the band. Not only is it dark, but it’s also undeniable. Chris explains, “The first riff comes in like a sledgehammer right into your skull. The riff sets the tone for this dark place of addiction and obsession. It captures all the elements of Like A Storm. It’s a heavy and ambient journey.”

The video conveys that journey in disturbing but strangely sexy fashion. Its dark narrative is memorable all around. “The video is about a guy who becomes obsessed with these girls,” says Chris. “He seduces them, kills them and then turns them into a drug that he can take. Every time he takes it, he hallucinates that he’s making love to them.”

On the other end of the spectrum, Like A Storm penned a heartfelt and epic eulogy for their grandmother entitled “Galaxy (Rest In Peace).” Matt goes on, “She was a huge part of our lives, and she passed away while we were making the record. Because we were in L.A., we couldn’t be there for the funeral. So that song was our tribute, and we wrote it for the funeral. We had two days to write the track, and the idea came right away. It was probably the easiest song we’ve ever written. It meant so much to all of us. We wanted to do something special and immortalize her.” They did by creating one of their most touching and vibrant songs. Chris adds, “That experience brought us even closer together.”

Like A Storm has grown into an extremely tight unit with Thomas Karanasos rounding out the lineup behind the kit. Thomas adds a pummeling presence that heightens the drama inherent in Like A Storm’s sound. It began with the live show, and the Like A Storm concert experience is still crucial. Chris elaborates, “The live show is a huge part of what Like A Storm is. We love being on stage and blowing people away. It’s an energetic explosive rock show.”

In the end, for Like A Storm, artistic integrity is paramount to their path. Matt offers, “The album’s sound is epic, surreal and ominous. That’s the kind of art we want to make. I want the music to transport people away from their every day lives and into this world we’ve created. We feel lucky we got to make a really ambitious record for our first album.”

Chris concludes, “We didn’t have any rules making this record. We pushed ourselves, and it was such a creative, chaotic experience. Out of that came a lot of honesty.” Being honest is always the best way to start a revolution. Let this storm sweep you away

Now based out of Vancouver, B.C., the quartet took little time to rest as they now enter the Midwest leg of their current tour and continue to fill up venues around America’s heartland with fellow Vancouver-based rockers Veer Union. Through the hard-hitting grooves of their first radio single, “Chemical Infatuation”, Like A Storm’s U.S. presence is growing larger by the day, as their adrenaline-packed song “Enemy” can already be heard accompanying ESPN’s College GameDay football montage, as well as providing the theme song for TNA Wrestling’s Pay-Per-View show “Genesis” with the featured track “Lie To Me”, airing on January 17th.

Future collaborations are currently in the works including an “artist one-on-one” with actor Eric Bossick, star of the upcoming movie “Tetsuo: The Bullet Man”, directed by cult filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto. Additionally, fans nationwide are encouraged to enter the band’s current Paul Reed Smith Guitar Giveaway contest for a chance to win an autographed guitar from the legendary craftsman.

Like A Storm stir up a torrent of infectious hard rock through electronic textures and string flourishes that cascade into a wall of distortion as vocal melodies hypnotize. Brothers Chris (Vocals/Guitar/Programming/ Didgeridoo), Matt (Vocals/Guitar/Programming) and Kent Brooks (Bass/Vocals/ Programming) conjure a dynamic rock sound that’s simultaneously ethereal and edgy.
