Canadian hard rock band Storm Force has announced the release of its sophomore album, Truth, set for September 25 via BraveWords Records.
The entire album is now available for digital pre-order on Bandcamp.\ \ The debut Storm Force album, Age of Fear, released in 2020, earned critical acclaim for its melodic hard rock sound, drawing inspiration from acts like Whitesnake, Dokken, Scorpions, and Bon Jovi.
Truth marks a significant evolution in the band’s sound, with frontman Greg Fraser stating: "With Truth, we wanted to take everything we learned from Age of Fear and raise the bar in every area.
We pushed ourselves harder as songwriters and musicians, and the result is an album that’s more powerful, more focused, and more dynamic than anything we’ve done before.
The addition of drummer Roger Banks brought a new level of energy and intensity to the band, and everyone truly brought their A-game.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created and believe Truth represents the next evolution of Storm Force.
Age of Fear introduced Storm Force; Truth defines who we are." \ Truth features ten tracks, including 'Truth', 'Silver Lining', 'Saviour', 'Between The Lines', 'Anti Social Media', 'Fire Starter', 'On With The Show', 'You’re Never Alone', 'I Wasn’t Finished Loving You', and 'Karma’s A Bitch'.
All songs are written by Patrick Gagliardi and Greg Fraser, except 'Saviour', which was written solely by Greg Fraser.
The album was produced and mixed by Darius Szczepaniak at Strada XR Atmos Studio in Mississauga, ON, and recorded at Storce Recording in Niagara Falls, ON.
Key contributions include Mike "Benny" Bedrosian on keyboards (except 'Between The Lines', performed by Ray Coburn) and Margaret Maria on cello for 'I Wasn’t Finished Loving You'.
\ Storm Force is led by Greg Fraser, best known for his work with Brighton Rock, which released three albums in the ’80s and ’90s before breaking up in 1991.
The band reunited in 2002 and performed sporadically until their final show in 2019 at the Monsters of Rock Cruise in Jamaica.
Frontman Gerry McGhee passed away in August 2020.
Fraser formed Storm Force after Brighton Rock disbanded, initially stepping away from the frontman role to assemble a local band with a cohesive sound.
The lineup now includes Patrick Gagliardi (vocals), Greg Fraser (lead guitar, backing vocals), Mike Berardelli (bass), and Roger Banks (drums).
\ The band, hailing from Niagara Falls, Canada, combines classic hard rock elements with modern melodic sensibilities.
A free listening party for the album is available via Bandcamp, and the full tracklist and pre-order link are accessible through the BraveWords Records website.
The debut album and both Fraze Gang releases are also available for $5.99 each on Bandcamp." "
