A provider and a taker. A beauty and a beast. A friend and a foe. The sea has many faces and the Netherlands have always had a strong and ambiguous relationship with its stormy neighbour. The sea is Stormbreker’s muse and the time has come for our first two songs to be cut loose and sail off. Overzee For centuries the Dutch have felt the irresistible urge to travel, inspired by the sight, the sound and the salty smell of the sea. This song is an hommage to all those who have heard the call to seek what lies beyond the horizon. All music written and recorded by Niels at Kraaiennest Studios, between 2017 and 2020.
