1) Sturm und Drang is a metal band founded in Finland in 2004 when André Linman and Henrik Kurkiala were on their way home from a Judas Priest concert. The name for the band was suggested by Henrik's father. Shortly afterwards Jesper Welroos and Calle Fahllund joined the band, and they had their first practice in Calle's basement. A few weeks later they performed in their first concert. Later they realized that they needed one more guitar player, and Alexander Ivars became their fifth member. The band got more gigs and played at Stafettkarnevalen 2004 in Vaasa, also making a cover of Dio's Rainbow In The Dark. In 2007, they already played as the headline on Stafettkarnevalen.
André, Jesper, Calle, Alexander and Henrik belong to the minority of Swedish-speaking Finns. When their first album was published in 2007, the boys were only 15-16 years old.
In 2005 they made the demo Rising Son which they sent to Helsinki Music Company. The boss for HMC, Asko Kallonen, who had not taken them seriously, changed opinion after hearing them play live with the Swedish garage rock band The Hellacopters. He gave the band their record deal, and shortly afterwards they started to record their first album, Learning To Rock. In 2007 they also got a new record company, GUN Records, which will release their debut album in the whole of Europe except for Scandinavia.
After the 30 May release of their album in Finland, Learning to Rock climbed to number three on the official chart of record sales in Finland.

Sturm und Drang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always searching for tomorrow yet to come
Never thought I would see again
See the light shine upon me
Can't you see me coming, coming for you baby?
Coming there to take you from the light
Can't you hear me calling, calling for you baby?
I was haunted, but now I broke free from the spell
But now it's your time to live the nightmare all through
Never thought I would run again, run free across the lands
Can't you see me coming, coming for you baby?
Coming there to take you from the light
Can't you hear me calling, calling for you baby?
So you better take on to the night, I'm the rising son
Lost in darkness like a shadow
Always searching for tomorrow
Haunted, but I broke free, it's your time now
So look at you all through
Can't you see me coming, coming for you baby?
Coming there to take you from the light
Can't you hear me calling, calling for you baby?
So you better take on to the night
Can't you see me coming?
Can't you hear me calling?
I'm the rising son
The lyrics of Sturm und Drang's "Rising Son" are about a person who was lost in the darkness and constantly searching for something better. However, they never thought they would find light shining on them again. The chorus is sung to a woman, telling her to take hold of the night and join the singer because he is the rising son. The song talks about being haunted but then breaking free from it and living life to the fullest.
The song is a powerful expression of self-discovery and overcoming challenges. The "lost in darkness" metaphor signifies the struggles that we all face in life - a search for meaning, purpose, and identity. The rising son represents the strength and resilience that we can find within ourselves to overcome adversity.
The lyrics are delivered with an intense energy and passion that is typical of Sturm und Drang's hard rock style. The guitar riffs are powerful and driving, and the drums provide a driving energy that propels the song forward. The overall effect is both cathartic and empowering.

Lost in darkness, like a shadow there I was
I was feeling lost and disconnected like a shadow
Always searching for tomorrow yet to come
My mind was fixed on finding tomorrow, even though it had not yet arrived
Never thought I would see again
I didn't believe that I would ever find a way out of this darkness
See the light shine upon me
But now, I see the light shining down on me
Can't you see me coming, coming for you baby?
Can't you see me approaching you, my dear?
Coming there to take you from the light
I want to take you away from the goodness and joy in your life
Can't you hear me calling, calling for you baby?
Can't you hear me pleading and begging for your attention?
So you better take on to the night, I'm the rising son
So you better embrace the darkness, because I am the dawn
I was haunted, but now I broke free from the spell
I was tormented by something in the past, but I have finally broken free from it
But now it's your time to live the nightmare all through
But now, it's your turn to experience the horror of living in a nightmare
Never thought I would run again, run free across the lands
I never imagined that I would be able to run again, to feel the wind in my hair and the ground beneath my feet
Lost in darkness like a shadow
I was lost in darkness, like a shadow
Always searching for tomorrow
I was always searching for a better tomorrow
Haunted, but I broke free, it's your time now
I was haunted, but I have finally freed myself, and now it's your turn
So look at you all through
So watch yourself and be careful
Can't you see me coming?
Can't you see me approaching?
Can't you hear me calling?
Can't you hear me calling out to you?
I'm the rising son
I am the one who brings the light, the new day

Andre and his buddy kicked off the band when Andre was 12. Rising Son is from 3 years later, 2007, when Andre was 15.
