Desert Storm (UK) + Write Zero

Hailing from Oxford, riff specialists Desert Storm have been making a name for themselves since their formation in 2007. The band have been hard at work from the start, with 5 studio albums and relentless touring across the UK and Europe with bands such as Karma To Burn, Nashville Pussy, Peter Pan Speedrock, as well as support slots for bands such as Orange Goblin, Red Fang, Crowbar, Mondo Generator, The Atomic Bitchwax and festival appearances at Bloodstock Festival, Hammerfest, Giants of Rock, Desertfest (UK/DE), Roadkill Festival and several more.

Now they are back in the starting blocks with a brand new album. "Buried under the Weight of Reason" will be released on March 6, 2026 by HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS. The album was recorded by Steve Geezer Watkins and Stuart Jones at the fantastic Woodworm Studios, with mixing and mastering by Joe Clayton at Nø Studio. The cover artwork was created by Kacper Gilka.

"Buried under the Weight of Reason" is currently being rewarded with best reviews in all the usual specialist magazines.

Write Zero will open the evening as support.

Write Zero fuse stoner and groove metal into an intense mix of driving riffs and melodies. With the EP "Surreality" (Jan. 2026), the band, now based in Oldenburg, presents their mature sound, which has emerged from many years of jam sessions together.
