Biography

Sleepstorm refuses to be pigeonholed. We do what we enjoy, which is creating and releasing singles, EPs, and albums. Unbound by style or genre, we're always discovering different areas of pop music in an attractive, quirky, and surprising manner. Melancholy, wistfulness, and decay are important themes that are explored, both in sound and word.

All members of Sleepstorm write lyrics. Although not an official agreement, it is the de facto rule that these consider the darker side of life. We often use poetic language and symbolic imagery to describe opinions, emotions, relationships, and personal experiences.

Since 2020, Sleepstorm no longer performs live. This has nothing to do with the COVID-19 pandemic but was a well-considered decision. We prefer to use the limited time we can spend on our band to write new material rather than endlessly repeating and rehearsing an ever-growing repertoire. For a special occasion, we are happy to make an exception and we could put on a remarkable show. Please feel free to contact us...

The albums

A poster with 10 positive sayings on the wall of an authentic holiday home in the Ardennes was the reason for the release of our first album "Dream Big" (2015). Never before has so much optimism been destroyed in such a short time using heavy lyrics and compelling music. The successive albums tell the collective story of the band members. Via the shaded and mysterious "The Dark of the Day" (2017) and the confrontation with aging in the instrumental road trip "Autumn Sunset" (2019), "Retrospect" (2022) looks back to a period before the first album. Sleepstorm reinvents itself with the EPs "Resurrection" (2023) and "Shallow Abyss" (2024). "Industrial Dream" is set to be released in early 2026, an album on which the typical 80s and 90s sound is increasingly gaining influence.
