Portland
sludge slingers and recent Neurot family additions, STONEBURNER,
are getting ready to release their forthcoming new full-length, entitled Life
Drawing. The follow-up to their 2012 debut, Sickness
Will Pass features nine rumbling odes of bottom-heavy hostility and
emotional decay. Recorded, mixed and produced by Fester at Haywire Studios,
mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering – both in Portland - and
swathed in the visually abrasive cover art of J.J. Shirey, Life Drawing promises
to hurl STONEBURNER’s habitually chest-caving sludge mantras to entirely new
realms of earth-deteriorating heaviness.
Comments
the band in a collective statement: “Lyrically we've always focused on
personal matters, and one theme that particularly seems to keep coming up on
this record is the struggle to be a decent person in a world that keeps doing
its best to cause you not to be. J.J. Shirey, who paints our album covers, is
part of the STONEBURNER brotherhood and we have absolute faith in him. We have
him sit in on rehearsals, read our lyrics, and then we send him off to come up
with whatever he thinks best suits the material. We feel that this piece
absolutely captures the mood of trying to grow and heal, but constantly finding
yourself falling back into the darkness caused by emotional and physical
addictions. The world isn't always a happy, beautiful place, and neither is our
music. Thanks to J.J. you're going to sense that before you even hear the
album.”

STONEBURNER
features a persuasive musical ancestry that winds through Buried At Sea, Buried
Blood, Heathen Shrine and others. Named after a subterranean weapon from the
novel Dune, STONEBURNER deliver a wholly organic orchestration of
captivating, crustified doom metal, their torrid hymns bathed in internal
agony, anguish and despair. To define STONEBURNER, one need only look to the
list of bands with whom they’ve shared the stage: Yob, Sleep, Eyehategod,
Neurosis, Buzzov-en, Weedeater, Saint Vitus, Watain, Tragedy, Noothgrush,
Graves At Sea, Lord Dying, Drop Dead, Whitehorse, Wind Hand, Bastard Noise…
Life
Drawing will
be unleashed via Neurot Recordings later this Spring. Stay tuned for further
