During January 1996 joins with the band the second guitarist Jessica, and together record the track "Hellstorm" for a Dutch compilation called "And The Raven Left The Tower" released by Teutonic Existence Record (are included also Golgota, Orthodox, Black Art, Uranius and others).
In september 1996 the band find a stable line-up with the new guitarist Chelmis (from Orthodox) and Davide "Death" (still drummer of Irriverence) so they can works to songwritng and live shows.
"Shadows of Unknown" is the first and only one demo-tape released, recorded at Malibù Studio in Milan during July 1997. It receives good reviews in Holland, Germany, Italy and Belgium and sells about 600 copies. Beetwen 1998 and 2000 music activities go straight slowly for line-up changes (Davide "Death" leaves the band and Chelmis is replaced by Thanatos from Neophyte) and the unwinding of compulsory service.
However Ares, Hypnos and Thanatos write others songs still on the fast and violent way and decide to produce by themselves their first album "The Legion of the Storm". Davide "Death" comes back behind the drum and Hellstorm beetwen January and July 2001 record their first full-lenght CD at Exodus Media with Danilo Bajocchi as Sound-engineer. The work is mastered at Massive Arts by Alberto Cutolo. The results is an album with the tipical eighties sound and the power of the new millenium.
On may 2002 the new drummer Leo joins with band and gives to Hellstorm new enthusiasm and new vital strenght to the songs, instead Thanatos leaves the band for personal troubles.
"The Legion of the Storm", after many difficulties, has been released on March 7th 2003. 11 violent thrash death songs and a special artwork make Hellstorm proud about their work. Now Hellstorm is a trio, on the best thrash metal tradition but they're think to search for a new guitarist to promote, by infernal shows, "The Legion of the Storm". Enjoy the music.
