After a full immersion in the Outer Sound Studios, and some great times spent with the producer Giuseppe Orlando (also featured as a special guest on the album), the band is ready to unleash “The Gorgon Cult” wordwide. The album is released on the 26 of April (once again Japan has the chance to listen to the Cd long before the other countries, having the album released on 15 March, eriched by a bonus track) and it’s distributed from Europe to U.S., from Japan to Russia and so on; in a short time “The Gorgon Cult” turns out to be one of Stormlord’s most appreciated works ever, as the high ratings of enthusiastic reviews on countless magazines and webzines testify. Stormlord celebrate the album release with two crowded shows, first one in Roma, second one in. Lugano (CH), gaining an amazing feedback.

On the 6 of June Stormlord attend their biggest open air festival ever, playing at the “Gods Of Metal” together with legends like Motörhead, Sodom, Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister, Testament, Judas Priest, Symphony X, Nevermore, Naglfar, Stratovarius and many more.

After the summer time, the band shoots the video for the song “Under The Boards (195, M.A.)”, taken from “The Gorgon Cult”. Once again is Brigida Costa behind the camera, supported by the amazing special fx’s of David Bracci’s Fanta-X and a special help from the horror legend Sergio Stivaletti (often at work with Darion Argento and not only). This time the things are even more professional than the “I Am Legend” clip, so the video is enriched by the presence of two great actors: Giuseppe Oppedisano (“Cari Fottutissimi Amici”, “The English Patient”, “Demonium” etc.) and Irene Turati (already seen on Pupi Avati’s set). Due to its heavy contents, the video is banned from the tv channels, but it quickly reachs a cult status all across the internet being spread through thousand of downloads, thrilling legions of fans and splatter/gore freaks.

At the end of the year the band get in touch with Scarlet Records in order to organize their next tour, bound to start in March 2005 together with Necrodeath.In the meanwhile, Stormlord begin to work on the new songwriting process for the fourth full lenght album.

23 of May 2008 Locomotive Records will release the long awaited fourth album, titled “Mare Nostrum!
They just can say that they love their new songs, they sound epic like in the old times without forgetting the style of “The Gorgon Cult”.There are a lot of new solutions that they never used before like sitar, folk parts, gloomy clean vocals, “Mediterrean” ethnic instruments and an amazing drum work. Their singer Cristiano has sealed his best performance so far, going from high pitch screaming to earthquaking growls, while the keyboard work, now up to their guitar/keyboard player Gianpaolo, is the most Epic thing they’ve ever done in ten years.Expect a bombastic yet furious avalanche of Extreme Epic Metal, we know that some people has been waiting for this since a long time, we will not disappoint them.
