Stormbringer


About the contributors...

Twisted Product is an amalgamation of two one-man groups: Twisted Helices and Smash Product. Twisted Helices is Ram Samudrala (vocals/keyboards) and Smash Product is Brian Meloon (guitars/programming). I think the name of the group illustrates the nature of the cover appropriately.


About the song...

The song was originally composed by Blackmore and Coverdale, and is the title track of the album by the same name. Released in 1974, it features the Mark III lineup of Blackmore on guitars, Coverdale doing the bluesy and soulful vocals, Hughes on the bass, Lord on the organ, and Paice on the drums.

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
