In October of 2005 the band decided to record six original songs in their own private studio, which resulted in the release of the demo "The Storm Is Coming".
In September 2006 Sound Storm entered again the recording studio to record the new Ep, "Northern Wilderness".
The new self-produced Ep was released on the 1st of February 2007.
During the year 2008 the band spent a lot of time to compose, arrange and rehearse the first full length. The results is Sound Storm's debut album, entitled “Twilight Opera” which has got an incredible high quality production, strings section, a 9-pieces choir.
The album has been mastered at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila and released by Rising Records.
On August 30th Sound Storm celebrates the release of the album with a live show at "Ilha Do Ermal" festival, the biggest metal fest in Portugal, with bands such as Blind Guardian, Angra, Sepultura, Korpiklaani, Firewind and many more.
In summer 2010 Sound Storm toured Mexico for the first time: the band played 11 gigs across the country getting and incredible success and many hundreds people were attending each show.

Over the years the band have developed a very personal blend of Heavy Metal mixed with a theatrical sense of drama, which was internationally recognised with the release of their critically acclaimed debut 'Twilight Opera'.
This new chapter marks another important milestone for the band, mixing their wide range of influences in a piece of work perfectly balanced between powerful guitars, magnificent symphonic choirs, gothic atmospheres and baroque melodies, which is definitely worth listening to.
Recorded, mixed and mastered at Metal House Studio by Ettore Rigotti (Disarmonia Mundi), 'Immortalia' is a stunning concept album on the quest for eternal life, an amazing journey through literature, poetry and history, a collection of songs linked together by the common theme of the immortality of the soul. The evocative artwork was handled by Felipe Machado Franco (Blind Guardian, Rhapsody Of Fire). 'Immortalia' will be released August 28th, 2012.
Shortly after the band will support Norwegian Gothic Metal veterans Tristania on their new European tour, starting September 13th.

Sound Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
time now has come, you know what I mean
my vision is real
my theory was not just illusion
It's raining outside, I'm ready to try
Thunders and lighting now lashing the sky
Power! It's full! Now, come back to life!
Back to life - Life goes on still in you
Back to life - you'll see the light, my son
Back to life - revival of your death
and you can see the sun
A burst of light's flashing my eyes
Power of lighting lits up the night
lying dead yet
not even a sign of life
The storm rages again
another attempt
I'm ready to try again and again
Power! It's full! Now come back to life
Back to life - Life goes on still in you
Back to life - you'll see the light, my son
A new life is born
back from the abyss of hell
to view again the daylight
A new life is born
back from the abyss of hell
but there's something strange,
in his eyes
I'm just a fool
What is your destiny?
My son
My son
Come back to life
One more time
One more time
One more time
A new life is born
back from the abyss of hell
to view again the daylight
A new life is born
back from the abyss of hell
but there's something strange,
in his eyes
The lyrics to Sound Storm's song Back to Life describe a moment of transformation and rebirth amidst a stormy night. The singer declares that they will finally fulfill their dreams, and that their vision was not just an illusion. They are invigorated despite the harsh weather, and their determination is characterized by the repetition of the phrase "I'm ready to try." The chorus describes the process of coming back to life and seeing the light after experiencing death. However, there is a hint of unease in the final repetition of the phrase "One more time," suggesting that this transformation may not be without its challenges.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be about overcoming obstacles and achieving a renewed sense of purpose. The stormy weather and symbolic death are used to emphasize the difficulty of this journey, but the singer seems to believe that it is worth it in order to achieve their goals. The final hint of ambiguity in the third chorus adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the song, leaving the listener wondering what exactly is "strange" about the newly reborn person's eyes.
