The band is hitting high again. They use their past as motivation for the future, layering slowness with atmosphere, as if the members playfully toyed with each other, completely exposing their ambitions and hopes.
Stonebride was formed way back in 2005, intoxicated by the sounds of the emerging stoner doom scene with the mission of playing as many concerts and tours as possible. They rode hard on the roads all over Europe and opened or shared stages with many giants of the genre, but the fierce slowdowns from the beginning were slowly upgraded with new influences, dark psychedelia became their best friend, but also the sounds of growing up alternative rock in the 90's were also found their place among their songs. On the last mini-album "Animals on Display", released in 2018, they were even more melodic than usual and then took a break. Concerts are rare in Zagreb, tours were also left aside because the new songs were in the stage of creation, recording, and production for almost three years.
"Someday you will see
A different kind of me
Someday you will see
What it's like to be free"
