STORM announces debut album “Join the Storm” out August 22nd
On Friday, 22nd August 2025, STORM will release his debut album, “Join the Storm,” on Indie Recordings, marking a major milestone in a career that has already made him one of Norway’s most exciting young names.
Leo Davadi Sundli, better known as STORM, has spent the past few years building a genre-defying sound that fuses pop-punk, metalcore, rock, EDM, rap, and electronic elements — all delivered with a confidence and energy few can match. With millions of views on TikTok and a rapidly growing loyal fanbase, STORM has found his place in both the alternative and mainstream music worlds.
Earlier this year, he was named ‘Name of the Month’ by GAFFA Nordics, nominated for ‘Breakthrough of the Year’ at the Norwegian Music Publishing awards, and has already performed on some of the biggest stages in the region, including Tons of Rock in Norway, Summer Breeze Open Air in Germany and the legendary Download Festival in the UK. He’s even brought his intense and explosive live presence to national primetime television in Norway – clear proof that STORM is connecting across scenes and generations, bridging the underground and the mainstream.
Inspired by artists like Bring Me The Horizon, Falling in Reverse, Billie Eilish, and Yungblud, STORM has crafted a sound that feels both modern and deeply personal. And now, he brings it all together on “Join the Storm” — an album four years in the making. He describes the album as a musical journey through power, chaos, belonging, and escapism. It’s about losing yourself — and finding yourself again. The album balances the epic and the vulnerable, the dark and the hopeful, the raw and the refined.
“This album is basically the sum of everything I’ve done so far. It’s a wild mix of pop-punk, ballads, heavy tracks, metalcore, EDM, and rap. Every single song shows how much I’m passionate about this and how much I’ve grown as an artist. It’s about not giving a damn about what people expect from you and daring to be who you are. I want the album to be a place where people feel free, where differences aren’t just accepted — they’re celebrated.”
The album also features some killer collaborations. “Fever Dreams” is an explosive track with Canadian rapper Snak The Ripper — a sonic collision of metalcore, pop rock, and electronic chaos. For STORM, it was a dream collab, where he deliberately threw Snak into his heaviest and most experimental soundscape. The album also includes a track with Norwegian metalcore band Fixation, who have earned significant buzz from industry heavyweights in recent years. “Suffocating” was born after multiple shows together, and STORM calls it a brutal mix of guitars, electronic hooks, and smashing energy — perfect for capturing rebellion and letting loose.
“Join the Storm” isn’t just a collection of songs — it’s a fearless statement from an artist who refuses to be boxed in. The album ranges from raw metalcore outbursts to vulnerable ballads, energetic pop-punk anthems, and pulsating electronic passages. It’s precisely this ability to move freely between styles, while maintaining a clear and recognisable identity, that makes the album so powerful.
For STORM, this project is about more than music — it’s about giving listeners the courage to be themselves, to embrace both chaos and vulnerability, and to find connection in imperfection. “Join the Storm” is a reminder that strength is found in contrasts and that true art emerges when you dare to let go. This is the soundtrack of a generation refusing to be confined.
“Music is a place where we can all meet. It’s not about fitting in — it’s about finding each other across everything that divides us. Dive into my world — and join the storm.”
