Over the course of the past 16 years, Stoned Jesus have risen as true trailblazers. Whether it’s a radio-friendly banger or a 13-minute classic, frontman Igor Sydorenko has explored lush valleys of folk, proggy expanses, bouldering alternative rock and peaks of headbanging doom. Now, after a sneak peak at Hellfest, Sydorenko and his new bandmates are embarking on a three-part quest that will take their heavy progressive rock all the way to the sun, moon and back.
»Songs To Sun« comes out September 19th, 2025 on Season Of Mist. The album is the first in a trilogy that will span the different phases of Stoned Jesus. Season Of Mist will release the darker Songs to Moon sometime next year, followed by the proggier Songs to Earth.
“We are thrilled to announce the beginning of this expansive journey,” Sydorenko says. “»Songs To Sun« picks up where Stoned Jesus left off on our previous album »Father Light«. Along the way, people will hear nods to Seven Thunders Roar and The Harvest. But there are also lots of new twists and turns that merge metal’s groove and intensity with vintage prog and our catchiest choruses yet. Lyrically, there’s a constant sense of insecurity and instability, but experimenting with the music is what helps give our lives a solid foundation.”
