THIRD STORM – the locust mantra CD

In 2022, THIRD STORM finally entered the studio to record their second full-length, The Locust Mantra, now aligned with CHAOS RECORDS. Continuing the momentum set forth on The Grand Manifestation, THIRD STORM’s second album is a tour de force of quintessentially Swedish blackened death metal: classic yet current, “retro” 1990s but plausibly modern. Totaling 41 minutes, the nine songs comprising The Locust Mantra are more dynamic and epic than before, but there’s still an intensity and heaviness that harkens to those primordial days of ’80s proto-black, particularly from South America. Slashing and searing but gleaming with a classiness and clarity, the production across the album highlights the outstanding technical skills of THIRD STORM’s bolstered new lineup. The new rhythm section of bassist Daniel Håkansson and drummer Jesper Ojala make their presence felt with power and passion, while the core members of vocalist Heval Bozarslan and guitarists Hasse Hansson and David Eriksson sound fired up and feed off that new black blood in the band.

Timeless and untrendy, THIRD STORM prove with The Locust Mantra that Swedish blackened death metal is far from fading away.
