No longer are they just another local band, doing the rounds of the local venues in regular cycles. No longer are they prophets not accepted in their own country. This is a band that is at long last starting to get national and international recognition and their home town fans, many of them in bands themselves, now look up to Stormzone as the torch bearers for local Heavy Rock across the world. There is no petty, small-town envy, there is only admiration.
