View The Article

Irrepressible Dutch Hardcore crew 'Meet The Storm' continue their tempestuous assault on Europe, unveiling their brand new EP 'Sailing On A Broken Compass', out on 29th November 2010 through all good digital outlets.

Meet The Storm were originally founded at the tail-end of 2007 in the bustling port of Rotterdam, Holland. Having previously played in other bands from the Dutch hardcore scene, Matt (vocals), Joe (guitar), Serge (guitar), Nick (bass) and Asmidin drums), all knew the script and exactly what they wanted to create; a band that was not only energetic and honest, but also exciting and robust. After countless rehearsals and intense writing, the diligent combo managed to craft a sound that is a stunning concoction of grimy hardcore that undoubtedly delivers a strapping blow.

The band quickly ascended the ranks within the punk-hardcore community by gaining a glowing reputation for their intense and dynamic live performances which clearly demonstrate the crew's true passion and devotion to their craft. Along the way the Dutch grimsters also bagged support slots with Cancer Bats, InMe and Uncommonmenfrommars, and have also toured the UK on numerous occasions, as well as embarking on successful jaunts to Russia and Belgium.

The Netherlands grimsters are now all geared for the release of their brand new EP 'Sailing On A Broken Compass'. The record instantly goes for the jugular with the opening onslaught of 'Can't Plan Regret' that bursts with blistering brutality and kinetic energy; it's a true exhibit of what's to come. The dirty anthemic buzzsaw cut of 'Sailing Out To Fail' is next up and it's a ravenous beast complete with full-on fist-pummeling shout outs. Lastly, the ferocious 'Hindenburg' draws the record to a climatic close and there's no letting up as it rips out of the speakers, forcing heads to bang. The assiduous posse will now take the record on the road as they hit the UK and Europe again this winter; check out the band's myspace for updated tour dates and prepare yourself for some sweat-drenched live action!
