We’re doomed before we start the cycle once again We fight impermanence and we will never win No lessons ever learned, predictably we plead To dust as we return, in death we’ll find defeat Yeah Into forever, cast your heart and sever ties in reverie The voice inside won’t sing out loud until these words can set us free Fake, on your face You’re disgraced You betrayed You won’t, you know better Take, always take Til they brake You’re disgraced You won’t, you know better Into forever, cast your heart and sever ties in reverie The voice inside won’t sing out loud until these words can set us free (Stahlecker Solo) Into forever, cast your heart and sever ties in reverie The voice inside won’t sing out loud until these words can set us free

Never Again 03:37
Tonight I light a flame And let it breathe the air that kills the pain In the emptiness between us Let's burn it down When it's taken everything Do we seek to find another way? Or find solace in our defense And turn around? I can feel it in my soul (Your ghost haunts me) We're standing on the edge Burning wild out of control (You won't stop me) I'm screaming never again Never again Tonight these beating hearts Will set the tempo in the dark On the path to our destruction Can't stop us now When it's all been revealed Will we accept the truth as real? Or will we stop believing In what we found? I can feel it in my soul (Your ghost haunts me) We're standing on the edge Burning wild out of control (You won't stop me) I'm screaming never again Never again (Schlump Solo) (Stahlecker Solo) (Schlump Solo) (Stahlecker Solo) (Both) I can feel it in my soul (Your ghost haunts me) We're standing on the edge Burning wild out of control (You won't stop me) I'm screaming never again Never again I feel it in my soul We're standing on the edge I'm screaming never again Never again

I don't need you Don't need anything Nothing left to lose Cuz you took everything I see the demons move behind your eyes They're planning your revenge This time there's just too many wrongs to right And no way to defend Give in to me (Me) And find out what awaits you I'll set you free, yeah Give in to me (Me) As chaos overtakes you You'll never know if it's a nightmare or a dream Gave you the truth I gave you everything (Everything) Nothing left to prove Can't tell me anything (Anything) I see the demons move behind your eyes They're planning your revenge This time there's just too many wrongs to right And no way to defend Give in to me (Me) And find out what awaits you I'll set you free, yeah Give in to me (Me) As chaos overtakes you You'll never know if it's a nightmare or a dream (Schlump Solo) I see the demons move behind your eyes They're planning your revenge This time there's just too many wrongs to right So this is where it ends Give in to me (Me) And find out what awaits you I'll set you free, yeah Give in to me (Me) As chaos overtakes you You'll never know if it's a nightmare or a dream (Stahlecker Solo) Give in to me Give in to me

Looking back on everything I try to find a memory When I knew you were there for me But I can’t pretend Tell me what you want from me And show a side I haven’t seen Cuz all I’ve known is misery Could this be the end? There’s only one way out, but we can’t find a reason… We’re just waiting for a reason to fall Crawling closer to the end of it all Rescue me Or walk away from it all Don’t you ever, say I never, tried to save us in the end Do you see me when you dream? Tell me what do you believe You’re everything I couldn’t be Cuz I could never win There’s only one way out, but we can’t find a reason… We’re just waiting for a reason to fall Crawling closer to the end of it all Rescue me Or walk away from it all Don’t you ever, say I never, tried to save us in the end I don't need it I lie here bleedin' After the weight of the fall (Stahlecker Solo) There’s only one way out, but we can’t find a reason… We’re just waiting for a reason to fall Crawling closer to the end of it all Rescue me Or walk away from it all Don’t you ever, say I never, tried to save us in the end
6.
I’m every choice you’ve ever made, I’m all the time you’ve wasted I am the pleasure and the pain, I’m every dream you’re chasing Above and below, I’m one in the same We’re all we’re meant to be The light and the darkness Our voice an echo of the future and the past I’m every chance you never take, I’m all those you’ve forsaken I am the friendly enemy, the life and death you’re facing Above and below, I’m one in the same We’re all we’re meant to be The light and the darkness Our voice an echo of the future and the past Nothing to separate We break the illusion Our dreams an answer to the questions never asked (Both) (Schlump Solo) (Stahlecker Solo) Above and below, I’m one in the same We’re all we’re meant to be The light and the darkness Our voice an echo of the future and the past Nothing to separate We break the illusion Our dreams an answer to the questions never asked
7.
Have we lost our way again Into the nothing we descend With nothing left to second chance Our greatest fears will lead us But who will save us in the end With absolution we defend The crooked path we're following Until our fate reveals us all Can you hear the cries of destiny As she's forcing us to choose Between the truth and the lies Without a way to decide Is karma coming back for you Pushing us out to the edge Of sanity and reasoning The silence now so deafening It tells a haunting story But who will save us in the end If none of us will take a stand As we repeat the past again Invoking fear controls us all Can you hear the cries of destiny As she's forcing us to choose Between the truth and the lies Without a way to decide Is karma coming back for you Second guessing all that we believe Terrified to share the view Without a place we can hide As we're committing these crimes Until there's nothing left to lose (Stahlecker Solo) (Schlump Solo) (Both) Can you hear the cries of destiny As she's forcing us to choose Between the truth and the lies Without a way to decide Is karma coming back for you Second guessing all that we believe Terrified to share the view Without a place we can hide As we're committing these crimes Until there's nothing left to lose Until there's nothing left to lose

Turn Away 03:25
She turned to me She said, don’t let me down Hard to believe In you, you’re not around Breathe in, breathe out Killing me to say this out loud Breathe in, breathe out Listen when I say… Turn away, before I lie straight to your face Turn away, before you feel my cold embrace Someday, I’ll never make this up to you So turn away, before you see what I’m turning into I try to breathe Feels like, I just might drown The memory Filled with loss, never found Breathe in, breathe out Killing me to say this out loud Breathe in, breathe out Listen when I say… Turn away, before I lie straight to your face Turn away, before you feel my cold embrace Someday, I’ll never make this up to you So turn away, before you see what I’m turning into
9.
Save Us 03:32
Never questioning appearances, nothing as it seems Staring deep into the great abyss, staring back at me We are fleeting, we are hopeful We are betting on these dreams Give us meaning, Give us purpose Save us from reality We are, we are, we are, we are The voiceless, The nameless Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up And save it, Save it Never questioning the lies we’re told, easy to believe Manifesting are the ways of old, to threaten you and me We are bleeding, we are broken We are falling to our knees Give us meaning, Give us purpose Save us from humanity We are, we are, we are, we are The voiceless, The nameless Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up And save it, Save it (Yeah!) (Schlump Solo) (Stahlecker Solo) We are, we are, we are, we are The voiceless, The nameless Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up And save it, Save it We are, we are, we are, we are The voiceless, The nameless Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up And save it And save us from ourselves
10.
Don't Go 04:06
Never enough when all you need is more, into the night that never ends She feels the rush like the night before, tomorrow night she’s back again And out from the dark of night, she hears the voices screaming Don’t go, don’t go I need you now and I’m about to lose my soul With every second I wait, I hear it louder screaming Don’t go She’s waking up, and she’s all alone, she thinks of when this all began It hurts too much, now she’s lost control, she fears tonight this all will end And in the morning light, she hears the voices screaming Don’t go, don’t go I need you now and I’m about to lose my soul With every second I wait, I hear it louder screaming Don’t go, don’t go I tried to fight it, but I had to let you know Forgive me for my mistakes, I hear it louder screaming Don’t go (Stahlecker Solo) Now each and every night, she hears the voices screaming Don’t go, don’t go I need you now and I’m about to lose my soul With every second I wait, I hear it louder screaming Don’t go, don’t go I tried to fight it, but I had to let you know Just let me make this mistake, I hear it louder screaming Don’t go With every second I wait, I hear it louder screaming Don’t go (Schlump Solo)
11.
She tries to bend me, until I break If I defend me, it’s my mistake It’s my decision, but hers to make What’s mine for giving, is hers to take I’m looking for a solution, and I need to Break free, from you, to get the message through Fuck all these games you keep playing Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh-oh-oh-oh Now can’t you hear what I’m sayin’ yeah The tables turning, she feels the change The bridge is burning, I fan the flames You wanna test me? Well I’m not foolin’ You second guess me, you lose and I win I’m looking for a solution, and I need to Break free, from you, to get the message through Fuck all these games you keep playing Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh-oh-oh Now can’t you hear what I’m sayin’ yeah (Let me hear you!) (Schlump Solo) (Stahlecker Solo) I’m looking for a solution, and I need to Break free, from you, to get the message through Fuck all these games you keep playing I won’t waste time on you, if you can’t see what you do Now is it clear what I’m sayin’ yeah? Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh-oh-oh Whoa, Whoa, Whoa oh-oh-oh
12.
On the Run 06:17
In the light of early dawn, with no strength to carry on Demons got me on the run, I can’t escape this time Trust my heart, or trust my mind, or will they both just leave me blind? With inspiration hard to find, I’ll never make it out alive See you in dreams I still believe it when she speaks, but only when she lies Just set me free Let me believe in one more night, so I can get this right Now there’s nothing left that’s real Nothing left for me to feel Giving in, I need you all the time Nothing I can do or say To ever make this go away Giving in, I need you all the time The endless road I travel on, the only place where I belong Forever I’ll be on the run, until the day I die See you in dreams I hear the screams, now its to late to bring you back to life Now there’s nothing left that’s real Nothing left for me to feel Giving in, I need you all the time Nothing I can do or say To ever make this go away Giving in, I need you all the time (Schlump Solo) (Stahlecker Solo) (Both) Now there’s nothing left that’s real Nothing left for me to feel Giving in, I need you all the time Nothing I can do or say To ever make this go away Giving in, I need you all the time Now there’s nothing left that’s real Nothing left for me to feel Giving in, I need you all the time Nothing I can do or say To ever make this go away Giving in, I need you all the time

about

Störmbreaker is a battery for hire with a guitar fire…a fire which ignited the Minneapolis, Minnesota hard rock scene shortly after this young 5-piece set out to conquer the world back in 2018. Voted two years in a row as Minnesota’s “Must See Band” (2019, 2020) by the Minnesota Music Society (fan votes).

Störmbreaker is quickly winning over new listeners and creating loyal fans by tapping into their superpower; a unique ability to create and unleash a modern, commercial hard rock sound derived from influences spanning the best of the 1980’s Sunset Strip metal scene through today’s most production-conscious rock artists (think Guns ‘n Roses meets Bullet for my Valentine). This approach to cultivating their signature sound manifests in each song as a powerful, intoxicating, and deeply satisfying blend of raw aggression combined with emotive, melodic hooks. Störmbreaker’s intentional pursuit of their modernized, arena-metal sound has been validated as a worthwhile endeavor time and again by fans and industry players, including agents in Hollywood who heard one of Störmbreaker’s first singles, “Last to Know” and offered the band a double-header weekend gig at the world-famous Whisky A Go Go, providing support for Sunset Strip legends Faster Pussycat and Steven Adler’s Guns ‘n Roses.

In addition to their debut album release, Störmbreaker’s second half of 2021 includes performances at major music festivals (Rockfest 2021, Cadott, WI, main stage appearance supporting Korn, Danzig, Chevelle, and others), tour dates with national acts (including Hinder, FireHouse, Saliva), and capped by another trip out to Hollywood to rock The Whisky A Go Go at the end of December, directly supporting Dokken featuring George Lynch/Lynch Mob.

Bottom line: Störmbreaker is breathing new life into the dual-lead, 80’s era hard rock sound, blending it with a smart, modern metal undertone, and using it to win over new listeners while establishing a quickly growing, national fanbase. The band is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to pursue their dream, and for the chance to make it a reality, one fan at a time. Be sure to check out their debut album, “Strike the Match” upon release in November 2021, and keep an eye out for tour dates in your area!
