In the meantime we are super stoked to get back out on the road this summer and do what we do best with in front of all of our rowdy friends across the southern US.”
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 2 EP’s (»FierySabbath« & »Beyond the Gates«) via Texas based label Gravitoyd Heavy Music.
Stone Nomads have shared the stage with Icons and scene leaders Crowbar, Soulfly, Eyehategod, The Obsessed, Khemmis, Spirit Adrift, Elder, Mothership, among others and played multiple festivals and tours throughout the US.
