Об исполнителе (группе)

Practiced a very progressive hard rock influenced by Deep Purple (listening to the group's keyboard is inevitable to think of them). They were formed by brothers Angel and Diego Ruiz and his cousin Luis Genil, which respectively touching the guitar, the drums and keyboard, and Jose Torres on bass and vocals.
Born in 1969, as the stormy, but a developer decided to rename a day that went to Madrid to accompany the singer Blume of the Storm.
Many people know them to dry by Storm, but I've seen many times the name of the band as The Storm, so, as you call them.
This LP is very psychedelic, with rudimentary English and Spanish at the time some titles (in the letters could not, censorship is not ...), forgetting that the instrumental .. A curious fact that suffered and many groups of the era was that they had to sing in English to be free from censorship.Also curious is the anecdote for veáis as was the era, which counts Jose Carlos Molina (nu) had to change the name of one of his first bands Dust, censorship was bad because they are called Dust.The fact is that the disc contains songs like the rabid 'I'm busy,' 'Woman mine', 'It's all right' or the instrumental One man called Fernandez de Cordoba, 'obviously dedicated to one of the greatest entertainers of the scene at the time, or the impressive displays of virtuosity of 'Crazy machine.Leaving on tour and get a major success, particularly in Madrid and Bilbao which become their adoptive cities, but not to forget his beloved Sevilla, which are in love.It is in this era when sharing cartel with the mythical Queen in Barcelona. It was at a performance at the Palacio de los Deportes, where the band was a major feat. The battery personally congratulated them and told them that what am I going to do one? After your performance, it goes and even Freddie Mercury fell to congratulate them, and liked him so much the performance of the band, which they wanted to carry on world tour with them, a view supported their manager.Offered them a juicy contract with EMI, but due to problems with Fernandez de Cordoba, was not carried out eventually..
A committed and up-to-date musical movement is done for first time, leaving behind the deep backward and inferiority complex that were the companion on the Spanish music during the 60's.
However, the lack of resources an infrastructures and the existence of a non helpful atmosphere (but open and widely hostile) prevented the scene from developing a musical culture which warranties its own continuity.
1971 means the beginning of the fall, and by 1972 the premature disappearance of almost the whole of all of these bands is confirmed.
Forecast for 1973 is disappointing; the pertinaz sequia is felt in music as well, an someone able to move away the ghost of mediocrity and underdevelopment that flies over the Spanish musical panorama is wait as the rain; and the rain comes in the shape of a storm: a storm of Hard Rock called The Storm.
The disband of Smash brought a deep crisis in the Sevillian rock scene. The few groups that are formed have a very short life, instigated by the lack of opportunities and means (a second-hand guitar and an amp are out of reach for the most of the young Sevillian musicians), andno project is consolidated during two years. Things do not run better for The Storm, when an entertainment businessman from León called Luis Fernández de Córdoba appears, and assumes the role of manager and who will become a key character during the group life.
So far The Storm have been playing together for years; Angel (guitar), Diego (drums) and José (guitar) met at school, where they formed a band called Los Tormentos.
Luis (organ) will join later, and José will take bass, a line-up that will stand stable during the whole group existence.
At first they will make covers of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Guess Who, but is after discovering Deep Purple when they decide to lead his sound towards Hard-Rock.
After a gig in a discotheque in Torremolinos called Barbarella, they are contracted for a show in another Barbarella located in Palma de Mallorca, but the band name is not of the likes of the manager of that place because its sounds like Flamenco. At this point they are suggested to change their name to The Storm.
1974 it's the year for The Storm. In April their first LP is released. A solid, forceful and thundering hard rock effort (and perhaps the only real hard rock record ever made in Spain, if we exclude the Tapiman one), made exclusively with own cuts and where the band find their own musical style without renouncing to their influences (Storm will be the Spanish Deep Purple in our collective memory forever).
Their debut album, originally released on Basf in 1974, is one of the Crown jewels of Spanish hard rock, and changes hands for a small fortune among collectors all over the world. This LP really rocks.
It's high energy hard rock that follows the line marked by the big organ outfits of the era: DEEP PURPLE, ATOMIC ROOSTER, BRAM STOKER, MEGATON, a.o. It has also a deep classic prog sound root, which reaches the top on 'Un Señor Llamado Fernández De Córdoba'.
Now it gets the deserved well-done CD treatment at last, with great remastered sound, nice booklet incl. up to 30 minutes of images with a concert of the group and an interview, all circa '74-'75 !!!! An incredible document available for the first time, don't miss this!!!
