Himmelstorm started as an instrumental one-man band formed by Vemund Osland in the early 2010s. Later on Vemund's good buddy Bård told him about a guy, from our neighbouring town, he'd heard singing on a demo on YouTube. Bård thought he would be a great choice to have as a singer on Vemund's songs. Well, that guy turned out to be current vocalist Gøran Af Geijerstam Sjølie. Gøran demoed his voice on the first Himmelstorm song Crucible in 2017, and – the rest is history. The guys found out this was a great collaboration and friendship so they quickly started working on more songs.
In the small Norwegian town by the fjords and high mountains in the north the band was established as a duo with Gøran on vocals and Vemund on guitar, bass, keys and programming. By 2019 Himmelstorm added Jostein Brugrand on bass and Vemund's brother Vegard Osland (Slave Force One) on guitar. Later in 2020 the band was joined by Øyvind Møller on session drums for a couple of live shows. Currently the band is joined by session drummer Memet Ødegaard Cataltepe (Wail, Steel Wizard). The music style of Himmelstorm can be described as melodic metal with influences from 80s rock and metal, but also modern progrock and metal with cinematic elements. Other band influences are from Metallica, In Flames, Dream Theater, Pantera and Fear Factory.
