Winterstorm is a German power metal band, formed in 2008. Their lineup consists of Alexander Schirmer (Vocals), Michael Liewald (Guitars, Backing Vocals), Armin Haas (Guitars, Backing Vocals), Peter Cerveny (Bass) and Sebastian Albrecht (Drums, Backing Vocals). They play a brand of very melodic Euro power metal, mixed with elements of folk and symphonic metal. In 2010 they released their debut album titled A Coming Storm, which had a rawer sound than their later albums. This was followed up in 2012 by Kings Will Fall, which alternated between speedy power metal songs, and midtempo tracks with very strong folk elements, at times sounding somewhat similar to Swedish band Falconer. On their third album Cathyron, released in 2014, they added symphonic elements, which added an extra layer to their music.
