DOMKcast with Matt Brooks of Like A Storm

The epitome of thinking outside the box would be coming up with an
idea to make a metal version of “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio.
That’s what the guys from Like. A Storm did a few years back and
seems to be a fan favorite at their shows. A band compiled of
brothers from New Zealand, Like A Storm will be hitting the road
with Godsmack and Shinedown in the upcoming months. Matt Brooks was
the special guest on episode 63 of the DOMKcast with Lunchbox and
Promo Brady. Fresh off their appearance at Rocklahoma, Matt talked
about what he prefers in terms of live shows.

The brothers have a portable studio that they carry around in a
backpack. As Matt alluded to, much of the writing and recording for
their latest album Catacombs was done on the road over the course
of the last few years. Sometimes the ideas would come to him in the
middle of the night perhaps from a trans mundane world. The writing
process would ensue and the ideas for “Catacombs” were born.

The band often incorporates their New Zealand heritage into the
sound of Like A Storm by using a didgeridoo. Which gives their new
single “The Devil Inside” a much darker feel. How often do they
make it home these days? The band has been well traveled over the
years setting up base in Toronto for a few years before moving to
the states. How much of an adjustment has it been coming from New
Zealand, to Canada and ending up in the United States? Hear the
full conversation that Lunchbox and Promo Brady had with Matt
Brooks of Like A Storm on episode 63 of the DOMKcast.
