Cracking The Code With STORMFLOWER

Sydney rock outfit Stormflower are effectively about to take their
first steps into the world, placing themselves at the mercy of the
public in pursuit of musical fulfilment.
They say in music, as in life, it is the little things that ease
the pain. Things like planning, preparation, practice... anything
that can be considered a building block or a platform to sustain
you along the arduous journey that confronts each and every
musician at some stage of their career. But no matter the amount of
time and thought you put into even the minutest of details, the
music machine will invariably strike and send you flailing into the
darkness from where you came and poke holes in your surroundings
just for good measure.
Sound bleak? That's because it is, but building a firm base can act
as a buffer and allow that faint glimmer of hope to remain in your
eyes, if even for one moment longer.
Which is what Stormflower have done before unleashing their debut
song Coda into the world. They have spent countless hours planning
and practising before releasing music, even managing to secure a
place on the roster of Australia's emerging label XMusic, but you
can never be too sure. The proof, as they say, is in the
pudding.
And that pudding arrived earlier today courtesy of Coda, with HEAVY
taking the opportunity to talk with the band while still in the
honeymoon period, catching guitarist Owen, drummer Julien and
vocalist Robert a mere couple of hours after Coda hit the
streets.
"Coda is a bit of a journey," Owen began. "It's touching on a few
elements around where we are and the whole cycle of life thing and
in reference to CODA and the DSL CODA, etc, where we return to
start in that sense, and trying to figure it out along the way and
try to get some help along the way to help make sense of it all as
well."
The press release refers to Stormflower's genre-defying sound and
experimental nature, which we ask the boys to elaborate on
further.
"I guess we've got lots of influences," Julien measured. "I think
there's bands that we love that are quite experimental as well. We
try to do something that's a bit unique, mixing different genres.
And I guess when we say experimental, that means musically, but
also spiritually, maybe trying to challenge ideas and
concepts."
In the full interview, the boys discussed Coda in greater detail,
which marks their first release under XMusic and is part of an
upcoming EP featuring a blend of heavier and more accessible
tracks. The band emphasized their commitment to emotional depth and
authenticity in their music, highlighting their perfectionist
tendencies in the creative process and their collaboration with
XMusic to ensure quality. They shared their experimental approach,
merging influences from various genres to create a unique sound,
and expressed excitement for live performances and audience
connection and more.
