"Hilder uses both his storytelling and music talents to bring in the characters, so real that you can picture them before you"… Marlene Palumbo - Indienink music

Since its release in December 2007, The Storm has already sold into the U.S.A, Europe, U.K and Australia and is currently featured on over 50 websites all over the world. Added to that, currently in excess of 100 radio stations are playing songs from The Storm Part One. Check out the new interview with Ken from Bad Attitude Radio. The album is also currently being reviewed by dozens of publications throughout Europe and the U.S.A/ South America.

"Some very good elements do exist in this effort and especially the guitar work that sounds like the late 70's bands. Worth to mention are also the audio effects during the tracks that help the concept of the album to become more "alive"… Lampros Tennes - Metal Zone

From the sheer brutality of songs like "Modern World" and "The Wind of Change" to the exquisite beauty of "Left in the Dark" which has just featured on WSVN Volume 20 in the U.S.A, this album has it all. Michael has teamed up with producer Steve Harrison and numerous special guests such as Chrissie Phillips sharing vocals to produce an album with no "fillers". Every song has a place on "The Storm". The whole concept of "The Storm" is to tell a story through songs, dialogue, character parts and special effects.

"Recently I had the utmost pleasure to discover a very talented entertainer that I feel everyone will enjoy learning more about. Michael Hilder is an amazing singer who knows how to deliver to his fans the music that can pack a punch. If you love Classic Rock, then Michael's music is a plus to any true rock fan"… Isaac Davis Joseph Jnr - Juniors Cave Magazine

It all began in the summer of 1991 when Michael began to pen his own rock musical, The Storm. To tell the story, he combined powerful rock guitar riffs, galloping bass lines and majestic piano melodies to give every one of his songs their own identity. Each one was painstakingly written and re-written until it fitted perfectly with each individual chapter of the story.

"No surprise that Jim Steinman was the inspiration for this rock opera, although very different"… Marlene Palumbo - Indienink music

Michael's fan base is growing all the time and they are as loyal as any rock fans going around. It is these fans that are helping to push The Storm into every corner of the world, one CD at a time. Michael is also adding "member" only advantages to his fan base with the "free" mailing list boasting competitions, give-aways and special offers available only to subscribers

"He has something of a cult following overseas and has shipped off CD's all over the world. Fans from Britain, the U.S and the continent post messages on his my space page"…Megan Hustwaite - Leader Newspaper

It is also a tribute to the diverse music on the album and this is evident with the multitude of different websites/ radio programs that are reviewing the album and playing his songs. The genre covers pop, rock, hard rock, folk and metal so there is something for everybody on The Storm.

"The album has a storyline with a flow to it. Just a great album"…Ritchie Laird - 979FM

This is only the beginning. With a second and third album to complete the trilogy, The Storm is a big production, theatrical Rock experience that looks destined to join the great concept albums of our time.
