French heavy fuzz rock trio Starmonger share a brand new single and music video »Page Of Swords«!

Paris, France based heavy fuzz rock trio Starmonger has released a brand new single and music video »Page Of Swords«.

Says the band: “Two years after »Revelations«, Starmonger’s new fuzz-laden grooves and emotional choruses will take you on a journey across mountain peaks and smoke screens, about the futility of ambition and escaping the rat race. »Page Of Swords« is the first glimpse into Starmonger’s second album, coming next winter.”

Starmonger is a French fuzzy power-trio hailing from Paris. Their sonic divinations, bewitching grooves and extravagant stories were first distilled in their debut LP »Revelations« released at the end of 2020, drawing from the raw rock of the 70’s and the energy of the modern stoner-rock and alternative metal scene. With unforgettable melodies and fuzz-laden hooks, Starmonger brings fresh air to the long tradition of the rock power-trio.

Through their songs and their visual universe, they evoke B-movies and pulp stories, post-apocalyptic deserts and eldritchian monsters from the abyss. The year 2023 marks a new staple for the band, ready to make you discover another dimension of fuzz with their new single »Page Of Swords«, a prelude to an uncanny interdimensional voyage…

»Page Of Swords« is a fuzzy voyage across mountain peaks, about delusions of grandeur and ambition, and backing away from the rat race. This marks some big changes for the band, as it is the first release since 2020 (and the troubled times of lockdown and all the changes, introspection & reconsideration it brought), and most importantly the first release with their new line up, with Mathias on bass guitar and backing vocals, and Arthur as lead singer.

“Touching on psychedelia and proggier construction, »Page Of Swords« is nonetheless catchy and rousing to the listener, and it moves in a way that seeks to leave no one behind.” — The Obelisk
