Album Review: Desert Storm - Omens (2020)
Picture Credit: Desert Storm Artwork: Mattias Frisk Desert Storm - Omens Release: May 01, 2020 Label: APF Records Format: Vinyl/CD/Digital Length: 39:23 Genre: Sludge / Stoner Doom Origin: Oxford , England At first I was a little confused when I received the copy of Desert Storm's fifth longplayer "Omens".
