The land of Michigan has given the world a deluge of multiple necessities and sheer pleasures outside of what at one time was the auto industry mecca. Like its heart and soul of the blue collared working person that breeds an indelible, almost pioneer spirit, the music from here reflects its surroundings as once again this 26th state, added to the Union in January of 1837, is having a rebirth.

Interview with Carry the Storm, Metal Gem from Houston Return to the Radar

Dynamic, memorable, intense, virtuosic – these are words that have been used to describe the music of Carry the Storm.

Comprised of Nick Koumbis on vocals, Kelly FitzSimons on guitar, Joe Praetorius on bass and piano, and Darren Robertson on percussion Carry The Storm formed in 2008 with a mission to create a style that was to ultimately stand out among the other bands in the metal genre.
