Members of BRAVE also play in the epic doom metal band While Heaven Wept (Nuclear Blast Records).
Over the past several years, BRAVE have built up their own personal studios and recorded the calm | the storm entirely in-house. This allowed for unlimited time for experimentation and creativity, and will set them on the path to record new music more frequently.

The album marks their first full length since their critically acclaimed 2008 full length release Monuments and their 2014 Surrounds Me single. This collection of songs spans across multiple genres--from heavy guitar riffs to acoustic passages, but is always rooted in solid songwriting and emotion. BRAVE enjoy the freedom of artistic expression without boundaries, as the driving mission has always been to write and perform without regard to current trends. We invite you to turn it on, turn it up, and join us on a journey through the calm and the storm.
BRAVE co-founder, lead composer and guitarist Scott Loose says, “After 10 years of writing and refining this music, it continued to develop right through the recording process. We explore a fairly wide dynamic range on this album, from a very minimalist acoustic/vocal track called ‘Bay Song’ to more dense compositions such as the opening track ‘I Will Wait’.”
Co-founder and lead singer Michelle Schrotz adds, “These songs represent ‘life stories’ and lyrically deal with life, death, love, loss, searching and reflecting through various stages in one’s existence.” She continues, “there are musical passages on this album that are simplistic at times and other times heavy and powerful, but always remain beautiful and melodic with a uniquely BRAVE quality to them.”
Thanks so much!
