Storm is the sixth studio album of Norwegian gothic metal band Theatre of Tragedy, released in June 2006. It is also the band's first album with new lead singer Nell Sigland. "Storm" was released as the album's first single, and the band embarked on a European tour to support it. The album also marks somewhat of a return to gothic metal, although its sound is much lighter and more upbeat than that of earlier albums, and still uses modern English lyrics. The cover art was designed by Thomas Ewerhard, who also made the covers for Assembly and Forever Is The World.[4]
