2018 marks the return of Oxford-based sludge-metal titans Desert Storm as they prepare to follow the release of 2014's critically-acclaimed 'Omniscient' album with their new opus 'Sentinels', confirmed for release this coming March 16th via APF Records. Recorded with engineer Jamie Dodd (Orange Goblin) at Flesh & Bone Studio's, Hackney and tracked by Steve 'Geezer' Watkins at Woodworm studios (which has also been used by legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi), 'Sentinels' is a colossal sounding record, it's ten tracks punching the listener with an oppressive towering monolithic sound that batters, but never dulls the senses.

'Sentinels' features the following tracks:
Journey's End
Too Far Gone

In addition to the album's release, the band will be hitting the road hard throughout February, March and beyond in the UK and Europe. This is a band that have never been afraid to get in the van and have shared stages with a who's who of heavy talent over the years, including Karma To Burn, Corrosion Of Conformity, Red Fang, VoiVod, Orange Goblin, Crowbar, Weedeater, Valiant Thor and many more.
