i hate starting stories off this way, but fuck it.
it all started in july 2023.
me and ares were on call. we were probably talking about stupid shit; the government, our fuckass fake friends, or ourselves (or music). then, I heard him repeating these two words: ‘ethereal storm’. i know, some sob story, huh? but it really wasn’t. a couple days before this call, i told him about a dream id had. in my dream, there was a thunderstorm, but it was magical. it almost looked like an orb in the middle of the sky, like a purple sun, if you will. it had rings around it like saturn, in the color royal blue. it was beautiful. i said it was ethereal and grandeur. it truly was gorgeous, and such a great dream. that wasn’t all to the dream, but i can’t recall anything else from it. just that ethereal storm. so, when he said ‘ethereal storm’, i knew exactly what he meant by it, and i smiled. i smiled like never before. i only then realized that ares was always the type to remember things id tell him. he always cared, and ill never forget that. ill always look for him in other people. anyway, i smiled about this for a couple days, and we called again the next week. he said ethereal storm was just a catchy saying, and it should turn into something. he didn’t say anything in particular, but i knew what he was thinking; a band. and thus, the idea (not the band) was created. it never went beyond that, until november 2024. i was looking back at our old texts from when he was here, and i remembered it. i cried for hours, and hours, thinking of how terrible i felt for forgetting about the idea since it mattered so much to me. i called my best friend, alex, and we talked. we both played instruments that a band would need, but we still needed a drummer. she said “my cousin can play drums”. and my face light up. we were finally able to make ares’ dream come true. in his honor. then, ethereal storm was born.
