Storm Clouds Up Ahead is the self released debut EP by the English Metal band Dante's Ascension.

The CD title was derived from a clean sung lyric in the CD opener, "Havanna's Aggression", "Storm clouds up ahead as cities fall"

[edit] Trivia

• There are no real amp recordings on this CD. All guitars were run Direct Inject through the Xmas tube Vst Plugin for Cubase SX.
• All guitars were tracked by Kieran Spiers.
• The only song to feature Paul Sparkes playing drums is track 2, "Heaven Falls"
• The singing on the refrain of "Dark Side of Atum" was originally conceived as a joke but eventually remained on the track and is still performed live.
• The CD artwork was designed by guitarist Robert Woodland and was derived from a photo of the band playing live.
• Producer, Spiers, placed all the intro's to tracks on the previous song so that when listening as a whole, the album strung together.
