Stonegazer - Threshold (Vinyl/Record)

StoneGazer:  Finland.

StoneGazer is not just any band from Tampere, Finland. It's also a tight-knit group of like-minded individuals who are not afraid to take shots at the status quo. Formed by longtime members of the small but active music scene in Tampere they bring together an eclectic mix of different styles from stoner rock to grunge, blues and metal.

StoneGazer is a tight-knit group of five guys from Tampere, Finland. They have been making their own brand of rock for over a decade now. Their style has become more and more eclectic over the years, combining stoner and southern rock, blues, metal and perhaps even a hint of grunge for good measure. All their songs are after all quintessentially a group effort - a weaving of five different forms of musical expression.

StoneGazer was formed back in 2011 by Juho and Jallu when they were playing in the Tampere-based Death Metal band Vulvarine. Their mutual love for stoner rock led to the creation of a new band, whose original line-up was completed with the addition of Jussi and Late. In the fall of 2012 Tomas (also ex-Vulvarine) joined the band cementing the current line-up of the group. The band went on to play a lot of gigs in Finland and writing a ton of material. Some of this came out as two demos in 2011 and 2013 as well as in EP-form (MDRM) in 2016. 2020 saw the arrival of StoneGazer's first album, The End of Our World. This musical doomsday prophecy was released by Kozmik Artifactz.

The band's second album-length creation - Threshold - builds on the same themes of impending doom and the glooming future of humanity. The album was fully recorded at StoneGazer's own rehearsal/recording studio. Everything except for the mastering was done inhouse to ensure that this stoner metal juggernaut sounds and feels just right. It's a big, bold and groovy portrayal of humanity standing on the Threshold of an uncertain future.
