Adnan Omerovic, former Grotesk bass guitarist, had to leave Southern Storm after a year for personal reasons and was replaced by Mario Vilusic, the ex member of Neon Knights. For quite some time Southern Storm was lacking a lead singer. Nevertheless, first songs were recorded. Elvis Garagic, then the lead vocal of Dugi Put, gave it a try and they were a perfect match.

The music style of Southern Storm in the early stage was defined as melodic heavy rock with progressive and ethnic motives. Later they used to say they play "Heavy" as their music was influenced by bands that have one word in common, and that is "Heavy". The music was created in a modern way, using ethno motives that are melodically and rhythmically characteristical of the surrounding area.

Southern Storm released one studio album named 1999. They were preparing to record another album when the band suddenly fell apart. To this day there are no indications the band might reunite.
