Band Line Up 2014

So it goes in the world of STONEGHOST, a decidedly unpretty riff machine from South London which recently released its debut, New Age of Old Ways. With production guru Russ Russell behind the desk, it’s a hefty slab of modern metal, but conceived and delivered in the spirit of the traditional four-man rock combo, where honesty and authenticity triumph over frivolities and scene prescribed gimmickry. Grimace-inducing heaviosity is imbued with a sense of purpose, euphoric groove riffs meet frenzied tempos and New Age of Old Ways, for such an overtly aggressive collection, repeatedly displays an uncommon level of musical awareness.

Having earned a wealth of gigging, writing and recording experience under the previous moniker of Snakebite (including appearances at Wacken, Bloodstock and Hammerfest) the members of STONEGHOST elected to refocus their efforts and begin a new chapter in 2013.Since then, the band has quickly reaffirmed its reputation as a formidable live act with a volatile cocktail of belligerent swagger and sheer raw power.

In the words of MetalMouth.net, “Stoneghost are one of the rare quality bands in the emerging band scene that immediately make you sit up and take notice. There are plenty of bands, but there are not plenty of Stoneghosts”.
