Storm Seeker

Storm Seeker is a German pirate/folk metal band from Düsseldorf and Neuss.

It was founded by brothers Marius and Timo Bornfleth.

Since 2013, Storm Seeker has stood for powerful folk metal, maritime adventures, and the untamed vastness of the seven seas. Driving metal riffs, hard-hitting drums, and traditional sounds from hurdy-gurdy, whistles, and other folk instruments combine to produce a sound that blends modern heaviness with the atmosphere of a bygone seafaring era.

In their songs, Storm Seeker tell tales of piracy, sailing, freedom, and the stories unfolding between harbour, horizon, and the open sea. Catchy melodies and anthemic choruses combine with the raw energy of a metal band, creating a sound that appeals to both folk and metal audiences. With five albums released and several successful chart entries, Storm Seeker has established itself as a prominent name in the folk metal scene.

“Guns Don’t Cry” and “Nautic Force” both reached the Top 100 of the German album charts, while “Set the Sails” climbed into the Top 50.

Sean Graham’s powerful, deep baritone voice adds a distinctive new dimension to the sound of the five musicians from Hamburg and NRW.

On stage, Storm Seeker has already played for audiences at some of Germany’s biggest metal festivals, including Wacken Open Air, Rockharz, Summer Breeze and many more.

Following two successful club tours across Germany, the band will continue its journey in spring 2027 with the “Sailors, Rowers & Gunners Tour”, taking them across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and neighbouring EU countries.
