The Storm is a Danish rock band formed in 2006 by Pernille Rosendahl (former lead singer of Swan Lee) and Johan Wohlert (former bassist of Mew) which are to date the only permanent members of the band.
Ex-couple Pernille Rosendahl and Johan Wohlert formed The Storm in 2006 after they had a child together and had left their previous musical groups, Swan Lee and Mew respectively. In December 2006, they signed a contract with Universal Music in Denmark.
The band's first official public appearance was on 11 January 2008 when they performed live at P3 Guld as the final act. The band relreased "Drops in the Ocean" as their debut single. They appeared with Rosendahl as the vocalist, Wohlert and Mads Wegner on guitar, Michel Swan as the drummer, Jakob Millung as the bassist and the keyboardist. Their debut studio album followed up entitled Where the Storm Meets the Ground and was released on 11 February 2008. The album was produced by famous producer Roy Thomas Baker, who among other things has worked with Queen, The Cars and Danish band Gasolin'. Richard Fortus from Guns N' Roses also contributed on the album. The album was not well received among the Danish reviewers, and The Storm was later accused of using material from other artists. However, the album became a commercial success with 25,000 copies sold and the band scored gold record for it.
The band returned to the studio in 2009 to record their second studio album. Black Luck was produced by Jacob Hansen who Pernille got introduced to through Volbeat after she sang a duet with Michael Poulsen on the song "Mary Ann's Place". About the album, Pernille reportedly said: "It's like coming home after a long journey to have total control again. We're back to our roots and bring back our fingerprints on everything".Black Luck was released on 12 October 2009 by the group's own company WR Production in collaboration with Target Records. The album sold 1,150 copies in the first week and debuted at number seven on the album chart. The album spent four weeks on the top 40 and by March 2010 it had sold 10,000 copies according to the record company.
