The Texas outfit will release the EP »Beyond The Gates…«, a follow-up and exclamation point to book-end last year’s full-length LP »…At The Gates Of Solitude«. The release features 2 new songs, a remixed bonus track from the LP, and a new version of the classic Trouble doom track »The Tempter« featuring collaboration with metal vocalist extraordinaire Kyle Thomas (Exhorder, Trouble) along with the return lineup of guitarist/vocalist Jon Cosky, drummer Esben Willems (Monolord, Slower), and bassist/vocalist JudeSisk. The EP was mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Alan Douches (High On Fire, Cannibal Corpse) at the famed West West side in upstate NY.
Stone Nomads is an American doom-sludge metal power trio based in Houston TX. The band, formed by Jon Cosky (guitar/vocals) and Jude Sisk (bass/vocals) in 2021, incorporates the sounds of early doom metal, modern sludge metal and all things heavy. Conceptually, the band explores the journey of life and death through the heavier and darker side of things, delivered via sludged-out, powerful riff-based sonics.
Influences range from the classic doom of Sabbath, Trouble, and Candlemass to the more sludge-laden sounds of Crowbar, Conan, Obituary and all things in between. The band has released 2 full-length LP’s (2022’s »Fields Of Doom« and 2023’s »…At The Gates Of Solitude«) and 1 EP (»Fiery Sabbath«) via Texas based label Gravitoyd Heavy Music.
Stone Nomads have shared the stage with scene leaders Khemmis, Spirit Adrift, Elder, Mothership, among others and played multiple festivals and regional tours in the southern US. The band has enlisted drummer Ben Wozniak to take over percussion duties and is embarking on a US Tour to support the release of »Beyond The Gates…« with festival appearances at both Maryland Doom Fest and Gravitoyd Doom Fest.
