RUSTORM

The ethereal Doom Metal titan that is Rustorm, was founded by members of the 90s alt-metal band ‘Pulkas’, Rob Lewis and Jules McBride. Having made a serious mark on the metal scene with the Pulkas album ‘Greed’ (released through Earache records), they ended up in Metal Hammer’s top ten list of bands that made a killer album and then split up.

Having subsequently played separately for many different bands such as Hercules ii, Test Dept, MurderOne & Evi Vine, Rob and Jules formed Rustorm together in 2020 to release a debut EP, Death Valley Speed Trap which was followed by a full album, Razed to the Ground’ in 2022.

As their sound developed, frequency defying low-end guitars, gravel filled vocals and hypnotic bass lines are all rounded off with string, piano and atmospheric samples to create a sound that crosses genres.In mid 2024, powerhouse drummer, Dave Nato Hazlewood (Anti-Nowhere League, Angelspit, 4th Wall) joined the band to create a formidable three-piece live band that could move mountains with their combined, ferocious sound. With gigs lined up for late 2024, Rustorm expect to be hitting the festival circuit in the UK and abroad with full tours also being discussed for 2025
