Stormwarden

Dark trance and heavy metal

Stormwarden icon

Stormwarden is a musical project that has been ticking away very slowly since 1998. Analogus with dark trance, it is based on a 4/4 time signature with off-beat basslines and filtered melodies. Drop-tuned death metal guitar riffs will add the crunch I've always been after. I'm hoping to resume production on the first track to do this soon, (titled Far From the Sun). It has a spoken monologue which is published at www.storm-warden.com .

The last track without guitars was inspired by the 80s Commodore 64 game, Impossible Mission. The game was noted for it's early use of speech synthesis and these samples feature in the track.
