'Lucid Planet II' is our long-awaited sophomore album, combining influences of psychedelic bass music with djent, tribal, and progressive rock for a divergent sound that interfuses genres. Intense, heavy rock melds with clean, delay-driven psychedelic soundscapes, aiming to produce a meticulously crafted, kaleidoscopic experience.
Weaving heavy riffs and atmospheric soundscapes with tribal beats and psychedelic bass music, this album deep-dives into our signature sound with a decidedly progressive approach. The outcome is a musical journey both classical and dynamic; a singular and cohesive work.
🏆 WINNER of 2020's 'Best Progressive Album', 'Best Artwork' and 'Biggest Surprise' Awards - www.metalstorm.net 🏆

Our world is full of extraordinary magic, but it often exists alongside despair and discontent. We all carry our silent struggles like well-guarded secrets, kept inside and held alone. To cope with the suffering we construct lives around us, personalities and partnerships that buffer us from the world outside. However, over time, if we find that these paths no longer serve us, it is an act of courage to let go and allow ourselves to be vulnerable to change.
The classical concept of the "hero's journey" describes the individual's path from suffering to transformation. But what if this is only a partial view of the human experience? If we take a step back, we see that our individual transformation is actually part of a greater narrative - a global transformation. Even our smallest actions are contributions to a brighter collective. The words you speak, the energy you encourage, the spirit of your work - these can be your art, your offering, your invitation for others to do the same.
Enter the unknown with your heart open and barriers down. We invite you into our new world where you are free to lose yourself in the journey, leave your burdens behind, and arise renewed on the other side.
