Stormcast Releases New Lyric Video "Ad Astra"

Cypriot melodic death metal band Stormcast has released a new lyric video for the song, "Ad Astra." You can check it out below. This is the first release from the band in six years and will appear on their new album, "Tremors In The Ether," which will be out in November. Speaking about the song, frontman Mike Angastiniotis said:

"Back in late 2019, me and the guys from Stormcast went back to the rehearsal room after a great summer run of gigs promoting The Ghost Eater. There was a general feeling of 'OK - the gigs were great and playing those 5-6 tracks was fun - but let's write something fresh!.'

"All four of us were (and are) big Rotting Christ fans, and we would often jam some of their well known stuff for fun... but there was this riff pattern that we just started playing one day that came about completely organically 'Dah Dah DaDa!.' It was like 'this could easily be a RC riff... but it just feels much more like a genuine Stormcast riff' - and we were all feeling it. Fast forward a couple of months, we had a brand new song. Not an entirely refined one, as it is now, but we did manage to play this live once already!

"This song is about a passionate, rebellious pursuit of freedom, self-expression, and purpose. The sense of urgency, exhilaration, and empowerment, encourages you to break free from societal constraints, embrace your true self, and chase your desires with fiery determination. I hope you enjoy listening to it

"P.S. While not a part of Stormcast anymore, Dinko Pehlic played a massive role in the writing process of this song. This one is also yours bro."
