“I’m excited to announce June 10th release of EP »Beyond the Gates« from sludge-doom power trio Stone Nomads!
The Texas outfit present to us a follow-up and exclamation point to book-end last year’s full-length LP »…At The Gates Of Solitude«. The EP 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 Jude Sisk. 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. Needless to say, you are in for a brooding, doomy, sonic titan of an EP!
Along with the EP release, the band is also premiering a new lyric video for the new single »Witch«.” – Gravitoyd H.M.
Here’s a quote from the band: “»Witch« is a brooding mammoth of a song, chocked full of groove and catchy, chunky riffage. Lyrically it’s our own take on the classic tale of a wicked temptress, who leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes. We went for a classic lo-fi horror vibe with the video concept which seemed to compliment the dark, heavy feel of the song.”
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 (»FierySabbath«) 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.
