Brainstorm
Brainstorm is one of those bands that perfectly sum up the German
power metal scene, churning out albums with regularity, sticking to
a set formula, playing a typical power metal style that seemingly is never
out of vogue in Europe.
They score few points for originality, but they've been quite successful
over their years.
Scary Creatures , released in 2016, is their eleventh studio album.
