It's not only music lovers who are embracing Michael's music, here is what the critics are saying about The Storm...
"Some very good elements do exist in this effort and especially the guitar work that sounds like the late 70's bands. Worth to mention are also the audio effects during the tracks that help the concept of the album to become more alive" Lampros Tennes - Metal Zone Magazine, Greece
"Hilders willingness to try any ingredients he thinks fit to make up his music pays off dividends as the album progresses. All the character dialogue within the musical is convincing and the participants should be congratulated on their role playing. Al Hey - Hard Rock House, U.S.A
This talented Australian gent throws together about everything great the British classic rock scene of that time generated into twelve impressive gems that makes you wonder if the elapsing of the last 35 years has itself been a figment of the imagination. Dave Attrill - Metalliville, U.K
Michael stuffs all songs with long melodic and elaborated guitar solos, proving that even at the present times - ruled by complex Prog-Metal music - it is still possible to record an enjoyable album keeping everything essentially simple, as long as there are inspired guitar players that like to perform soulful solos - an almost lost art, carried out by few bands nowadays. Marcelo Trotta - Progressive Rock/ Metal, Brazil
