1989

Megamania
ID: MGMCD 2017

Thrash Metal

Actually this work isn't so far from band's debut work. It's still the same good Thrash almost without slow sound, with the interesting guitar work and agreeable songs.

1984

RetroActive Records
ID: 050028.2

Hard Heavy Metal

1986

MCA Records
ID: MCA-5788

Hard Heavy Metal

This album is interesting as one of the first Lenny Wolf's albums.Music is light, there are almost no blues here. You may have it in your collection and even listen to it because this is a rarity.

2010

CD-Maximum
ID: cdm 1010-2989

Hard Rock

This work is a mixture of slow, hasteless Hard Rock in Dio style and different Glam Rock bands. It's not bad but absolutely not original music.

2011

CD-Maximum
ID: cdm 1112-3023

Stoner Hard Heavy Metal

The music of this release is the same - slow Hard Rock/Heavy Metal with Dio influences. It's the typical followers of this genre all the way.

2007

Metal Heaven
ID: myst cd 294

Hard Heavy Progressive Metal

It's AORish Hard&Heavy with Progressive elements and without own originality. Let the label is AOR (Metal) Heaven but not insomuch?!

2012

Musica Production
ID: MP-65

Heavy Metal

This Heavy is with some Death Metal influences (the vocals only). The music isn't very memorable but there are some good tracks with some interesting ideas.

2005

My Graveyard Productions
ID: MGP002

Melodic Power Heavy Metal

It's real Italian Melodic Power with Doro-like vocals - the vocals are just true Doro! The music sometimes is close to Doro works, though it's based on Italian musical standards.

1983

Musk Project
ID: CDMP-830

Melodic Hard Heavy Metal

Sometimes the music of the band sounds with some pop Rock influences but in general it's very good Melodic Hard&Heavy. Many songs are very interesting.

2001

Century Media Records
ID: CM1158-2

Melodic Speed Power Metal

Oh, true Nordic Metal rises again! It's a mixture of Stratovarius, Gamma Ray and many German Metal powerful traditions. They play melodic music with a lot of interesting tunes, solos and the vocals parts.

2000

Century Media Records
ID: CM 1114-2

Melodic Heavy Power Metal

The first track reminds me of Seventh Avenue, maybe because of refrain 'Seven Gates, what awaits behind?'... In general it's classic way of Melodic Metal with the nice refrains and classic riffs.

2008

Locomotive Music
ID: myst cd 407

Melodic Black Metal

It sounds like Graveworm with many orchestral parts. Probably it's not bad music as Melodic Black, but for my own part there is nothing interesting for me.

2003

GoiMusic
ID: GOI 2003-14

Melodic Speed Power Metal

It's standard music, in Rhapsody+Stratovarius key. There are choir, the strings, good melodic parts, etc. there, in other words there are all attributes of 'epic' Power.

2002

Remedy Records
ID: irond cd 02-326

Speed Power Metal

Uncle Hansen and Uncle Schlachter again sang, played, danced and produced for some stupid true hyper Metal boys who concealed themselves behind nicknames like Evil Steel with songs about big helmets and long swords. Music is like late Gamma Ray played in a speedy way.

2004

Remedy Records
ID: irond cd 04-885

Speed Power Metal

This release is a mixture of Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian and Running Wild, in general it's close to early Iron Savior (as a mixture of Gamma Ray and Blind Guardian). This album doesn't differ from others, it's the fast music without any distinguishable things.

2008

Dockyard 1
ID: DY100601

Speed Power Metal

Let they say that there had been no Kai Hansen used on this album, but Hansen still leads this music mentally. So this music is still a mixture of Gamma Ray, Running Wild, etc. with many pieces from Helloween, Iron Maiden, etc.

2011

Massacre Records
ID: MAS CD0692

Speed Power Metal

It's again the same Speed&Power album in spirit of Running Wild and similar bands. There is nothing new in the music as usual.

2000

Massacre Records
ID: cdm 0901-684

Power Metal

2001

Massacre Records

Power Metal

1998

SMR
ID: MAS CD0276

Heavy Metal

It's an absolute rubbish in comparison with their next albums. All music is no more than semi-Asian tunes of Malmsteen, everything is pretty slow and boring. There are some real slow songs on the album, and these are the only worthy parts of the album, it's true for the instrumentals in particular because of bluesy guitar on them. Female vocals are also not good on the album, because female voice sounds unpleasantly like that of Kimberly Goss.

2003

Massacre Records
ID: amg 112

Melodic Power Metal

They knockdown from the very beginning by their tornado wind sound. The music and the musician works are perfect as well as it was before.

2004

Massacre Records
ID: amg 166

Melodic Power Heavy Metal

It's just probably compilation of standard Stormwind tracks, some bonuses from the albums, plus some live tracks. I don't know what is the reason of its appearance, there aren't rare, unreleased tracks there. Maybe Stormwind leaves Massacre Records and label also would like to get some money from the artist gone by any means, I don't know, I'll check it...

1999

High Gain Records
ID: RBR/LCR 1860

Melodic Power Progressive Heavy Metal

It's one of the early albums of this band. Maybe there are many Malmsteen's influences but this band brings you by its outstanding melodiousness, many songs are just masterpieces!

1992

Steamhammer
ID: SPV 084-76532

Melodic Heavy Power Metal

I haven't listened to such incredible excellent music for long time! I can compare their music with Axxis, but Storwitch is heavier and S has got more balladish tracks. The musicians were already high skilled at that time.

2002

Silverdust Records
ID: irond cd 02-371

Melodic Heavy Power Metal

They are old fine fellows! It seems that there are no breakthroughs, no superoriginal ideas, but how beautiful and non-standard everything is! Vocals are very original excellent, instrumental work is beautiful, tunefulness is beyond the limits of such bands. This band can be compared to Black Sabbath, Axxis, Rhapsody, Riot by some musical moments.

1984

Intercord Record Service (I.R.S.) 

Melodic Heavy Metal

It's a beginning of the march of glory for this band. This debut is just Iron Maiden + Judas Priest with some of their own melodic ideas also.

1985

Gama Records 

Melodic Heavy Metal

This work is more independent of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. There are already their outstanding melodies, catching guitar solos and unchangeable for all time great vocals here. Also this album presents us some early Power Metal elements and that's very good.

1986

Gama Records 

Melodic Heavy Metal

This album in comparison with the previous albums is more Glam and Hard&Heavy oriented in my opinion. It is expressed by special Hard&Heavy sound on some tracks inherent in classic Melodic bands like Bonfire or Pretty Maids.

1987

Gama Records 

Melodic Heavy Metal

I'm not going to repeat all my words about this band nd about this early period of their life, it's the same that was on the previous albums. I think it means that the band became stabilised and stagnated.

1989

Gama Records 

Melodic Hard Heavy Metal

I think it's the most commercial Stormwitch album, it's Bonfire + Def Leppard + Pretty Maids + other famous Melodic bands. The songs of this album are very sweet and balladish (in other words - they are trendy songs for Pop Rock compilations), however the songs are perfect.
