Stonebirds

STONEBIRDS is a french trio formed in 2008 and rooted in Central Britanny (France), a land that
deeply inspires band’s songwriting . Abandoned villages and inhabitants, , ghostly places haunted both by ancient tales and contemporary rural distress, oppressive humidity, storm-like light… These images are nourishing an anguished
and tormented doom metal which gives birth to 2015’s « INTO THE FOG… AND THE FILTHY AIR » first
Stonebirds LP. This record sees the band paving its own way in between sludge, psychedelic/prog
rock, and post-metal, confirmed with its « TIME » in 2017. This second LP is more radical,
contrasted, alternating with massive metal riffs and lightful arpeggios. Drawing its luminous heaviness from Yob and Cult Of Luna, breton trio gains a foothold in
sludge scene and doomheads hearts by playing prestigious Hellfest, Motocultor and supporting
bands like Ufomammut, Mars Red Sky, Glowsun, Alunah etc.
With « COLLAPSE AND FAIL » (2020 - Ripple Music), Stonebirds is releasing its darker record to date.
If previous albums resonated like distress calls for the planet, this third one is an excruciating work
of hopelessness that embodies all the horror we’re collectively facing with. The band gives « doom metal » a more contemporary meaning, emotionally charged,
linking a painful interiority with our collective gloomy destiny. This is too late, and all is left is a
burning violence
FFO : Ufomammut, Cult Of Luna, Chelsea Wolfe, Jesu, Yob.
