FLIEHENDE STÜRME - An Den Ufern 1988

One record, the appearance of which I was eagerly awaiting at the time, was the debut of Fliehende Stürme, a three piece which founded 1983 in Stuttgart by Andreas (vocals/guitars), Thomas (bass), Michael (drums) and I must admit, I was positive surprised. Released via Storm Records, An Den Ufern has eleven intense hymns which put an end to the legendary chapter Chaos Z, in order to rise again from the ashes with Fliehende Stürme like Phoenix. The partly direct, hard and dirty songs always come with a touch of melancholy, statements of which one can often nod in agreement in good as well as lousy times, they always hit the core and make clear what every song is about. Driving songs characterized by massive guitar riffs with a charismatic sonorous voice. You go through deep dark valleys and stay there for a while to climb back up stronger. A push to unknown worlds to places you know or will get to know, and this is the perfect sound for these experiences! To date, eleven stories have been published and more are sure to follow, so come a little bit closer and stay for a while, Honey.
