Stormland

Conceived in 2003 by vocalist/guitarist/programmer Justin Pierrot, Stormland has been active at varying
levels ever since. Primarily a studio project, this Canadian death metal has seen its lyrical focus evolve
from vague sociopolitical vitriol (Complaints and Grievances demo, 2009) to analyzing the more
mundane and fantastical (True, North, Strong, and Cranky EP, 2015) before eventually coming to rest on
the Gundam theme (Songs of Future Wars, 2018 and Incident Report: UC-0791227, 2019). Now, The
Human Cost is about to be unleashed upon the world This eight song album maintains the Gundam
thematic lens and brings new tools, like eight string guitars and six string bass, to bear in shaping its
sound. Mixed and mastered by Patrick Bruss (Filth Chamber Audio, Crypticus) and with guest
appearances by Leda Paige (The Hallowed Catharsis, Jisei, and SissyXO) and Ross Sewage of (Exhumed,
Impaled, and Ludicra) The Human Cost sees Stormland fully making the jump into the realm of
progressive technical death metal. From the vicious lead-off track “Marida” to the vaguely joyful closing
instrumental “Beyond Gravity, Outside Time,” this 31:34 album is a lean face-ripper.
