Recent The Artisan Era signees STORTREGN are proud to announce the upcoming release of their fifth full-length, Impermanence. Set for release on March 12th via The Artisan Era. Famed Italian painter Paolo Girardi (Power Trip, Artificial Brain, Chthe’ilist) lends his masterful touch to the fantastic artwork adorning Impermanence. Recorded, mixing and mastering was handled at Conatus Studio, Switzerland by Vladimir Cochet (Mirrorthrone, Weeping Birth).
Active since 2006, the Geneva-Switzerland-based act has released four albums and an EP to date which has garnered worldwide praise from music writers and extreme metal fans alike. Their most recent prior album, 2018’s Emptiness Fills the Void, boosted the band’s status and fanbase to new levels. Now the time has come for the group to take their next leap forward, a sentiment Impermanence embodies and embraces with unorthodox yet graceful conviction from start to finish.
Impermanence draws inspiration from a mix of a large array of influences including progressive tech-death to 90’s Swedish black metal, old-school heavy metal, and jazz in order to craft a unique style of melodic black metal intertwined with a variety of death metal influences.
Stortregn – Impermanence is highly recommended for fans of bands such as Obscura, Opeth, Inferi, Dissection.
The band partnered with No Clean Singing to premiere a new single/lyric video for “Cosmos Eater”. In addition, pre-orders in a variety of formats and bundles are now available and linked to below.

Stortregn comments on the release of Impermanence “With a downpour of eight cosmic tracks, crafted with stellar riffs, thundering blast beats, and violence, we are ready to unleash our 5th studio album “Impermanence” onto the world! We’ve put our souls into this craft, exploring a wide range of musical influences and themes, all interconnected to create a paradigm of epicness. With this album, we managed to merge the contemporary tech-death sound and ideas with our older influences. “Impermanence” isn’t just a new studio album: it’s a face-melting sonic eruption! The storm is coming, you have been warned…”

STORTREGN is a blackened death metal band, formed in Switzerland in 2005. Initially influenced by the Nordic black metal scene, they have expanded their vision and sound into a more contemporary era. They are greatly appreciated for their music and even more so for their live shows. With a relentless energy, they deliver a mix of charging riffs, blast beats and brutality that leaves the audience with a lasting impression and begging for more. After a deluge of gigs, including Wacken, Metal Days, and 4 international tours, Stortregn has become inevitable in the Blackened Death metal scene. Their fourth album, “Emptiness Fills the Void” came out on May 25th, 2018 via Non Serviam Records. Moreover, with the recent signing with ALPHA OMEGA Management Agency, Stortregn are now planning to tour the world intensely. The band recently finished their European tour with IMMOLATION & FULL OF HELL (March/April 2018), furthermore STORTREGN toured Europe with MARDUK in December 2018, and there is far more to come. Expressing this album through live performances with violence, blast beats, and killer riffs is what the band is about. At each of their thunderous live appearances, Stortregn ravage the place until the smallest shred of human skin is marked. The five members, tight as a hungry wolf-pack, energetically release their inner storm to transform every show into a dark and metallic mass of death, with precision, quality and professionalism.

After years of intense work, touring and improvement, Swiss Blackened Death metallers STORTREGN are proud to present their re-release album on vinyl: ‘Evocation of Light’, coming out on September 20th.
The album containing nine original tracks, melting both baroque influences and blackened deathmetal madness, STORTREGN is ready to unleash it’s fury to the world. The album marks a new Zenith point in their discography, as it was the most personal, inventive and extreme music written by the band at that time.
The music of STORTREGN is straight to the point and has constantly evolved, giving them the right to claim, high and loud, their strong musical identity.
To give this album the aura it deserves, they hired the revered Kristian Wåhlin (aka NECROLORD) to create the artwork, and recorded the album at the prestigious Conatus Studio with Vladimir Coche (Mirrorthrone, Weeping Birth).
The album will be released for the first time as a gatefold album with marble colored vinyl by Non Serviam Records on September 20th, 2019.
