Single / Album Release

AFM Records introduce the new record by Redemption

Following the band's recent announcement, to release their forthcoming, eighth studio offering 'I am the Storm' on March the 17th, 2023 through AFM Records, Los Angeles based Progressive Metal masters Redemption have unleashed a brand new single. By the end of 2022, the band already shared a first album foretaste with a music video for the colossal album title track 'I am the Storm'. Redemption belongs to one of the leading progressive metal bands in the heavy music World today. Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2000 by Guitarist / Keyboardist / Songwriter Nicolas van Dyk, the band features iconic vocalist Thomas England of Evergrey, the rhythm section of Chris Quirarte (Drums) and bassist Sean Andrews, as well as keyboard phenom Vikram Shankar.

“If 'I am the Storm' showcases the heaviest aspect of Redemption, 'Seven minutes from Sunset' showcases a more Melodic Metal current of Prog Metal, as 'Someone else’s Problem' did on our last CD. As for the lyrics…they’re a metaphor. For the listener to decipher.” - Nicolas Van Dyk (Redemption)

As the album title already promises, 'I am the Storm' is a gripping, stirring, overwhelming and dramatic, new record by the Power / Prog Metal act. Combining unapologetic melodies and hooks with technicality, complexity and thundering riffs, Redemption once again occupies a unique place with its powerful, heavy, intelligent and deeply emotional music.

'I am the Storm' was produced by Van Dyk, Vikram Shankar and sound engineer/guitarist Simone Mularoni (DGM), who alongside Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth) and Henrik Danhage (Evergrey) will be also featured as a guest musician on the album. The new Redemption record also contains two cover songs, 'Turn it on Again' by Genesis and 'Red Rain' by Peter Gabriel.
