History

Stormgrey is a death/thrash metal band from Vilnius, Lithuania, which has its roots in the death metal scene of early 1990s when its members played and recorded with such Lithuanian bands as Undertaker, Dahmer, Mysopsychia, Nwcropsy, Eyetofuk, Dissection, Conscious Rot, Ghostorm and Grol.

Stormgrey was formed in 2011 and started writing songs inspired by classic death and thrash metal bands from the 90's - Death, Atheist, Slayer, Obituary, Pestilence, Celtic Frost and such. Arūnas Mikolajūnas (guitars) gathered three ex-Dissection members - Raimondas Kieras (guitars), Liudas Remeika (bass), Laurynas Sadauskas (vocals), plus young drummer Viktoras Mogilo-Žano and the band started to rehearse and prepare for gigs. During the first two years the band had played about 15 gigs, among them opening for Voivod. Unfortunately, before the band started to make serious preparations to record their songs, Laurynas left the band and was replaced by Rimtautas Piskarskas, a talented vocalist and multi instrumentalist who recorded an album with death/grind band Grol called 'True Stench never Dies' (2005) and played guitars for another Lithuanian old school death metal band Burying Place.

With a new line up solidified the band started to write new songs and in 2014 went to MuzLab studios (Vilnius) to lay down 10 brand new tracks tested and forged during three years of playing them live. The debut album 'Pray.Crawl.Suffer' was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios at the end of 2014.

In 2018 band lineup has changed. Drummer Arūnas Staugaitis (ex-Burying Place, Sullen Guest) and vocalist Andrius Šaulys (ex-Anomaly, ex-The Perplexx [bass]) has joined Stormgrey.

The band have been preparing to record their second album and looking for interested labels to release it.
