There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Brainstorm is a genre-bending group based in Portland, Oregon, co-signed to Olympia’s K Records and Lasercave. A unique mixture of guitar-based art-rock, marching-band music, and old American spirituals, they skip playfully across borders and styles. Portland’s Brainstorm consists of Adam Baz and Patrick Phillips who, between just the two, play electric guitar, drums, tuba, synth, and sing. They released their debut album “Battling Giants” on Lasercave Records.

2) Brainstorm is a power/thrash metal band from Germany, formed in 1989. The band features American born lead singer Andy B. Franck, who is also famous for his other band, Symphorce. They are known to play a somewhat darker style of music than most power metal groups.

Formed in 1989 by Torsten Ihlenfeld and Milan Loncaric on guitars and Dieter Bernert on drums, Brainstorm released their first demo “Hand Of Doom” after one year of existence. Following shows with Stormwitch, Exciter and Rage, the tracks “Kings, Queens and Sins” and “Law” appeared on a compilation LP. After completing their line-up with bassist Andreas Mailänder, the band released the second demo “Heart Of Hate” in 1992, which quickly gained cult status in the local metal scene.
Initially unable to find a suitable singer, the band solved the problem when Marcus Jürgens joined the band, being named “Newcomers of the Month” by the German Rock Hard magazine with their third demo “The Fifth Season”, released in 1994. After releasing yet another demo and single tracks on compilations, the band signed their first recording contract in 1997.

Yes, the Heavenly page has calmed down a lot, people there seem to have a little more sense in them. Completely agree with the rest of your post too.

@Wesku88: Totally agree with the Heavenly thing... That page was also once totally fucked up, but it's much better now, because the picture with both bands has been the main picture for a quite long time, and I think it's going to stay there, so it's quite peaceful there. This page however, is something horrible, because people don't fucking realise that it would be best for everybody if we kept the band picture with both bands and the band description which shows all the bands in the main page. But no... Thanks Latvian Pop fans, I appreciate this very much [/sarcasm]

In all fairness, they do belong on this page because it is their international name, but it doesn't mean I like it. This and the Heavenly page are the worst I've come across on Lastfm, fighting about the pictures is getting pretty damn annoying.

Yeah, but as you can see, the fans of Latvian Brainstorm aren't using it, because they think that this is the real and official page for them and that's why the both bands are here...

Wesku88, latvian Brainstorm has own page. So?...

Yeah, that would be the best solution, but unfortunately Last.Fm is unable to separate two bands with the same name, so that isn't a possible solution for this.

Yeah, I see your point, I guess there's nothing that can be done to this situation. It would just be great if there would be own page for these bands.

@Wesku88: Well there, isn't the picture of both bands, and neither is there the band description which shows all the bands in the main page... I put both here once since the the description and band picture were both just showing the Latvian Brainstorm, and once again the fans of the Latvian band have voted down the picture with both bands and changed the description and at the same time they're whining that Metalheads think that the German band is the only true Brainstorm... Yes, it is ironic, but there's nothing more I can do, I have tried to do everything to make everyone happy, But it just isn't working.
