The band has now released their 7-track self-titled EP, recorded at Electric Sun Studios in Sydney, with an overwhelming amount of positive feedback, and the immense hype has continued.

Combining catchy melodic rhythms with heavy breakdowns, Storm The Sky have created a sound different to any other local Victorian band, already being compared by fans to the likes of Australian heavyweights such as ‘The Amity Affliction’, and ‘Dream On Dreamer’.

With an acoustic video already released, a full music video* released mid January, and a lot of touring in 2012, as well as support slots with Dream On, Dreamer, Northlane, Sienna Skies, and many more already under their belt, Storm The Sky are prepared to work hard and hit the Australian music scene in a big way.

Tempest
Storm the Sky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mother what you're telling me is that you want to leave
You'll never know what you've done to break me
Now every time I close my eyes I see a broken mess that I can't repress

So what you're telling me is that want to leave
You'll never know what you've done to break us down
All along there's been a sickness building up
I'm gonna let it out, I'm gonna let it out

If the world loves a lover
I wonder, I wonder if the world can recover
If all's fair in love and war
I wonder, I wonder at the end of it all
Why are we left wanting more?
What are we searching for?

I feel the walls shake and I can't escape
It's like prison made inside my mind
I try to block out the sound you kept him around
in the end you let yourself down

Now it all comes down to the fact
that you never had the chance
to take back the choice you made
Your sons are awake to the way you've changed
They'll never feel the same

If the world loves a lover
I wonder, I wonder if the world can recover
If all's fair in love and war
I wonder, I wonder at the end of it all
Why are we left wanting more?
What are we searching for?

If blood is thicker than water
Water is thicker than love
When life just don't feel like enough
If blood is thicker than water
Water is thicker than love
When life just don't feel like enough
Yeah love just don't feel like enough
If blood is thicker than water

Water is thicker than love
When life just don't feel like enough

The chorus poses thought-provoking questions about love, war, and the fleeting nature of satisfaction. The singer wonders if love is enough to overcome the pain of betrayal, and what exactly people are searching for in life.

The bridge of the song expresses further turmoil and confusion, as the singer feels trapped in his own mind and unable to escape the pain he's experiencing. He also expresses disappointment in his mother's choice and how it has affected not only him, but his siblings as well. The final lines of the song "If blood is thicker than water, water is thicker than love, when life just don't feel like enough" suggests the idea that even though blood ties may be strong, sometimes the bonds of love and connection can be even stronger.
