Before the Storm is the fourth studio album by British hard rock/heavy metal band Samson, released in 1982.

The album was included in the three-disc The Polydor Years, issued by Caroline International in 2017.

[3] The set also includes their followup album Don't Get Mad, Get Even and a third CD with various B-sides, live and studio rarities.

A review from AllMusic gave it a decent rating, mentioning how with the departure of Dickinson the band had traded some of their New Wave of British Heavy Metal edge for a less explosive but more natural-sounding hard rock grit.

Rivadavia described the album as a "promising start" to the new line-up, with the music moving more toward hard rock and away from heavy metal.
