From Wikipedia:
This is an intriguing album. People familiar with the bands these two guys came from, Porcupine Tree and Opeth, were most likely expecting this to be a heavier, more "metal" version of the kind of music Porcupine Tree were outputting at the time. In fact it bears little resemblance to either Porcupine Tree or Opeth. With the benefit or hindsight, it's clear that this was a precursor to the musical directions that Wilson would explore on his later solo albums.
The album name is also the name of the "band", and to muddy the waters further, it is also the nameof track 2:

From Wikipedia:
Quote:Storm Corrosion was a musical collaboration between Mikael à kerfeldt of Swedish progressive metal band Opeth and Steven Wilson, an English solo artist and frontman of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. à kerfeldt and Wilson began a longstanding musical partnership in 2001 when Wilson produced Opeth's fifth studio album Blackwater Park. The two began writing together for a new project in 2010, releasing their self-titled first studio album on May 8, 2012 through Roadrunner Records.
A critical success, Storm Corrosion marks a paradigm shift for à kerfeldt and Wilson. Not wanting the project to be a progressive metal supergroup, the two used it as an opportunity to explore their more esoteric tastes in music, including Comus and Scott Walker.
