Hailing from Recklinghausen, Germany, Stormgarde whips up a potent gothic metal frenzy. Singer Sabrina has a heavenly/devilish vocal range, and the band lays down the sort of swirling metal chops that would send Evanescence back to their My Little Ponies. Stormegarde return a sense of grandeur to this oft-maligned genre.
The band made their first public appearance at the "Rockover Hittorf 2001" and won the viewers choice award at a hometown newcomer festival the same year. In July 2005, STORMGARDE successfully showcased in front of their biggest metal audience so far at the "Dong Open Air"-Festival (a.o. SKYCLAD and FINNTROLL).
Press rated the free downloadable demo with good to excellent reviews. Metal fans also appreciate the songs, shown by remarkable download figures (over 112.000 downloaded songs until December 2007).
STORMGARDE recorded their debut album "The Answer" in 2006, while mixing took place in early 2007. The album title track can be downloaded for free from the website since March 2007. The band is currently looking for label and booking partners. A release date for the album is not scheduled yet.
