Steven Wilson, Mikael Åkerfeldt, Gavin Harrison

"Storm Corrosion" is the self-titled debut album by the progressive rock duo Storm Corrosion, a collaboration between two of the genre's most prominent musicians: Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) and Mikael Åkerfeldt (of Opeth). Released in May 2012, the album is a stark departure from the heavier, more technical sounds typically associated with both artists, instead embracing an atmospheric, ambient, and experimental approach. With its haunting melodies, sparse instrumentation, and cinematic soundscapes, "Storm Corrosion" explores themes of melancholy, mystery, and introspection. The album defies easy categorization, blending elements of progressive rock, folk, and even classical influences, offering listeners a deeply immersive and enigmatic listening experience.
