Oddly-named Hedda is a 4-piece band from the beer capital of North America: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, and The Storm is their 1st full-length release. Hedda label themselves as “Provocative Metal”, meaning they integrate Traditional, Power, Progressive, and Epic elements into their music. The Storm includes a number of brilliant musical moments (provided especially by guitarist Kent Herman), but on the flip side, a few tracks from this release never thunder past mediocre. Perhaps Hedda’s stylistic diversity caused difficulties in achieving “consistency”, or maybe it’s just that lead singer John Swenson is a little too “blue collar” to be decisively provocative.

    Dan is a former partner at Metal Express Radio, and also served as a reviewer, photographer and interviewer on occasions. Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
