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.
