STORMWAVE – Heroes Of The Night ’87 (2022 reissue)

After being bootlegged many times, tomorrow will be reissued “Heroes Of The Night“, the last album from Austrian rockers STORMWAVE. Originally released in 1987 on vinyl LP only in Europe, the album has become a collectors piece since then.
STORMWAVE formed in the first half of the ’80s with a hard n’ heavy sound inspired by the greats form the genre, from Scorpions to UFO, and managed to release an album. However, in 1986 and with Joey Tempest / Europe explosion all over the world, STORMWAVE shifted to a more commercial, accessible sound.
One quick look at the band pictured on the album cover and you can see a change of image. Buy while adding a dose of keyboards / synths into the music, “Heroes Of The Night” as a whole pretty rocks.
This is fun second half of the Eighties melodic hard rock with an Euro sound similar to Karo, Roko, Trans Am, Mydra, and of course, Europe (the band)…
