Melbourne post-hardcore stalwarts Storm The Sky have announced over the weekend that they are calling time, with one final run of shows wrapping things up.
“This may not come as a huge shock to some of you as we’ve been quite dormant over the last year, but it’s something we’ve only recently decided to do,” said the band in a Facebook statement.
“Looking back on what we achieved over the last 8 years is something that we’ll be forever proud of and something that we couldn’t have done without the continuous support from all of our fans. We can’t thank all of you enough, you seriously helped us live out our wildest dreams!”
The decision comes after a quiet year for the band on the touring from, but by no means diminishes the huge impact the band have had at a national level over the past few years.
The past few years have seen the band do laps of the country alongside the likes of In Hearts Wake, Short Stack & Pierce The Viel, playing some of the biggest venues in the country.
The group released two full-lengths through the UNFD label- 2015’s Permeance & 2016’s Sin Will Find You, the latter of which saw the band take a stylistic shift towards a more alternative rock sound.

“Just for the record, we’re all still best mates” clarified the band in their statement.
“I mean how could we not be after everything we went through and accomplished together!”
In tandem with the news, the band announced their final run of shows, taking in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne for the last time.
“We’ve decided to get the original Permanence-era 6 piece Storm The Sky lineup back together for one last run of shows to say farewell to our fans,” said the band.
“We’ll be playing songs which span our entire back catalogue, and we plan on making these final shows very special.”

“Hey everyone, hope you’ve all been well!
After almost 10 years, we have decided to call it a day.
This may not come as a huge shock to some of you as we’ve been quite dormant over the last year, but it’s something we’ve only recently decided to do.
We’ve decided that this is the best move for us as individuals, as we all have a desire to explore everything else the world has to offer us having done this for so long! We started this band when we were kids, playing loud music in our parents’ garages and have achieved so much since those early days. Looking back on what we achieved over the last 8 years is something that we’ll be forever proud of and something that we couldn’t have done without the continuous support from all of our fans. We can’t thank all of you enough, you seriously helped us live out our wildest dreams!
We’d also like to thank our amazing tour crew, Jayden Roy, Nish, Chris O’Brien, the team at UNFD, New World Artists, Matt Leost, and Ash Hull who all worked so hard with us over the years. We’d also like to thank Billy & Kchan, the incredible producers we’ve worked with, all the bands we’ve shared the stage with, promoters who have had us on shows, our lovely friends who graciously let us occupy their houses whilst on tour, and our friends and families for their undying support!
It doesn’t even need to be said, but just for the record, we’re all still best mates, I mean how could we not be after everything we went through and accomplished together! In saying that, we’ve decided to get the original “Permanence-era” 6 piece Storm The Sky lineup back together for one last run of shows to say farewell to our fans, and also for a sense of closure for ourselves. We’ll be playing songs which span our entire back catalogue, and we plan on making these final shows very special.
Thank you all again so much for the love and ongoing support you’ve all given us, you’ve made our hearts forever full ❤
Below are our last ever tour dates happening in 2019, and tickets are on sale now.”
