ARTILLERY & STORM Announce Explosive New EP “A Narrow Escape” – Out Halloween 2025

Chicago, IL – Chicago-based alternative metal outfit ARTILLERY & STORM are set to detonate with their brand-new EP, A Narrow Escape, dropping October 31, 2025. Known for their thunderous sound, intense live shows, and a light display that rivals arena productions, ARTILLERY & STORM fuse modern hard rock with cinematic atmospheres, electronic textures, and massive hooks.

A Narrow Escape takes listeners on a sonic journey through haunting melodies, raw emotion, and relentless power. Opening with “Mirage”, featuring guest vocals from Josie Batista of AND THE ANIMAL, the track blurs the line between illusion and reality. The EP also features a bold, hard-hitting reimagining of THE WHITE STRIPES’ classic “Seven Nation Army”, giving it an unmistakable ARTILLERY & STORM edge. The chaotic anthem “wEird” hits hard with themes of identity and defiance, while “Static” captures the struggle of finding clarity in modern-day noise. Closing the record is a stripped-down acoustic version of “Suture”, originally released in 2023, showing the band’s dynamic range and emotional depth.

“‘A Narrow Escape’ is about resilience, breaking molds, and facing the illusions that hold us back,” says frontman Eric Johnson. “It’s heavy, it’s honest, and it’s the purest version of who we are.”

Formed in Chicago, IL, ARTILLERY & STORM consists of Eric Johnson (vocals, production), Dustin Alcock (guitar), Dax Tichy (guitar), Gordon Schrenk (bass), and Josh Engelking (drums). The band’s sound is built on technical mastery and high-voltage energy—earning them a reputation as one of the most exciting new acts in the Midwest scene. With performances at The Forge, Livewire Lounge, and WC Social Club, the group has already shared the stage with national heavyweights while building a loyal and growing fanbase.

Fans of Bad Omens, Bring Me The Horizon, and Falling In Reverse will find plenty to love in ARTILLERY & STORM’s mix of crushing guitars, soaring choruses, and a positive, empowering message.

A Narrow Escape will be available on all major streaming platforms October 31, 2025.
