Ethereal Doom Metal titan RUSTORM, was founded by members of 90s alt-metal band Pulkas, Rob Lewis and Jules McBride. After making a lasting mark on the metal scene with their debut album ‘Greed’ (released through Earache records), Pulkas ended up in Metal Hammer magazine’s top ten list of “bands that made a killer album and then split up”.

 

Having subsequently played separately for many different bands (including Hercules ii, The Blood Tub Orchestra, Test Dept, Murder One & Evi Vine), Rob and Jules formed RUSTORM together in 2020 to release a debut EP, Death Valley Speed Trap. This four-song blitz was followed by the debut album, ‘Razed to the Ground’ in 2022, which developed the band’s unique sound and set the scene for what was to come.

 

Late 2024 and early 2025 saw the release of two brand new singles, Supernatural and Snowcrash, both taken from the new album, ‘Gravity’ which was released in March 2025. Built on the solid foundations laid down by their previous releases, it arrived loaded with frequency defying low-end guitars, gravel filled vocals and hypnotic bass-lines – occasionally rounded off with string, piano and atmospheric samples – to create an ultra-heavy sound that crosses genres.

 

To take the RUSTORM sound out on the road, powerhouse drummer, Dave Nato Hazlewood (Anti-Nowhere League, Angelspit, 4th Wall), has joined Rob and Jules to create a formidable threepiece live unit delivering an even more ferocious sound capable of moving mountains.

 

With live shows being added all the time, Rob, Jules and Dave are already working on a third album which will be out in 2026.
