Stortregn is a Blackened Death Metal band, formed in Switzerland in 2005. After four successful albums (Emptiness Fills the Void, 2018; Singularity, 2016; Evocation of Light, 2013; Uncreation, 2011), an EP (Devoured By Oblivion, 2008) and an early demo (Stortregn, 2007), they released their fifth album, Impermanece, in 2021, receiving widespread praise and making many album of the year lists in the death metal scene. They followed with Finitude in 2023, which was also received well, following in the same style as the previous album.

Initially influenced by the Nordic Black Metal scene, they have expanded their vision and sound into a more contemporary era. With a relentless energy, they deliver a mix of charging riffs, blast beats and brutality that leaves the listener with a lasting impression and begging for more. Their last two albums feature a unique mix of blackened death metal with melodeath and technical death metal, along with progressive elements like flamenco guitars, allowing for the band to go in any direction at any time while still retaining the roots of their sound.

Throughout their career the band has worked with different personalities of the contemporary metal scene, from musicians such as Simon Girard (Beyond Creation), Steffen Kummerer (Obscura, Thulcandra) to painters Dan Seagrave, Juanjo Castellano and Kristian "Necrolord" Wåhlin and producer Vladimir Cochet (Mirrorthrone, Weeping Birth).
