Through a spliced montage of footage featuring riot police, protests, and civil unrest, the video creates a universal narrative of resistance. Desert Storm comments: “»Law Unto Myself« is a groove-driven blast of raw and unfiltered rock’n’roll defiance. Rejecting authoritarian control and institutional power, pushing back against obedience enforced through fear. Rooted in underground and anarchic spirit, a refusal to submit and a demand for personal sovereignty. Direct, confrontational, and unapologetic.”

On their new album »Buried Under The Weight Of Reason«, the Oxford-based foursome carves out a sound that is as primal as it is progressive, melding sludge, doom and heavy metal weight with moments of softness, space, and unexpected vulnerability. Across these nine massive-sounding tracks, Desert Storm summons the wilderness, ceremony, and chaos of the human condition, pushing their sound into new territories while staying true to their instinct for heaviness. Watch their latest videos for »Shamanic Echoes« and »Woodsman«!

Desert Storm are a formidable force in British heavy metal. Hailing from Oxford, England, the band formed in 2007 and have since carved out a reputation for their genre-defying blend of stoner, sludge, post-metal, and doom. Now, 19 years deep into their journey, they remain impossible to pigeonhole – constantly evolving, yet unmistakably Desert Storm. If you’re drawn to titanic riffs, intricate sonic textures, and vocals that balance ferocity with raw emotion, Desert Storm deliver that and more.

Their forthcoming album, »Buried Under The Weight Of Reason«, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2023’s acclaimed »Death Rattle«. Released worldwide via the renowned European label Heavy Psych Sounds Records – home to legends like Pentagram, Bongzilla, Conan, and Mondo Generator – the record marks a bold step forward for the mighty foursome.
