Stormborn - a melodic heavy metal band hailing from Kent in the UK, has forged a unique path in the music world. With influences ranging from heavy metal titans like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Dio, Stormborn's sound is a compelling mix of classic and modern elements. The band's journey began as teenagers, originally known as 'MegaFist,' with members Chris Simmons (Vocals), Andy Felton (Drums), Dave Viner (Guitar), Laurence Armitage (Guitar), and others. The evolution from 'MegaFist' to 'Seven' and eventually to 'Stormborn' saw many lineup changes, with the eventual addition of Simon 'Steve' Ball (Bass) and Carl Casagrande (Vocals), leading to their debut album in 2012, which saw them crowned winners of Metal to the Masses London 2012, and of the New Blood award at Summer Breeze festival 2013. Later, Matt Oakman replaced Carl as the vocalist, and Dan Smith joined as a third guitarist. Despite lineup changes and a hiatus, the band reunited in 2021 with its original members with the now stalwart addition of Simon Ball, rejuvenated and ready to deliver their now refined, unique and signature sound.

Stormborn's sound, described as the 'New Wave of Melodic Heavy Metal,' is a testament to their innovative approach. Their upcoming album 'Zenith' is a reflection of their evolution, retaining the fast, riffy, and melodic essence of classic Stormborn while showcasing growth and and an exploration of wider metal themes and signatures, incorporating the bands love of power metal combined with more extreme sub genres, and the vocal range of Chris Simmons, who can go from a death metal growl to a power metal scream in one breath. The band's sound has evolved over time to become heavier and more intricate, with complex compositions and diverse textures. The upcoming album 'Zenith' represents this evolution and the first step into a new era for the band, showcasing their now signature "Melodic Heavy Metal" sound.

Stormborn's are a band that has to be seen live. They are known for their wild energy and collaborate nature, with the band engaging actively with the audience. Their shows all across the UK have gained them a dedicated fanbase, and were once referred to by Dave Bedlam of Planet Mosh as "a show that is deserving of any metal audience in the UK from the smallest bar right up to a major festival".
