The nature of mankind, the flawed creation, explored through a story that
takes us through the absolute ravaging of earth and on into space, in
search of new homes that will ultimately be doomed at our hands as well.
It’s an incredibly ambitious concept to be contained within the confines
of a heavy metal album...but Stonecast have risen to that self-imposed
challenge and triumphed in glorious fashion!
I Earther possesses a grandeur, fitting to its lofty subject matter, but its
melodies are infectious, its hooks utterly addictive and the immediacy of its
appeal undeniable. There is a breath-taking depth and texture to the sound,
helped in no small part by the mixing skills of Roy Z (Sepultura, Judas
Priest, Bruce Dickinson etc), which brings out the full range of emotions
explored in these incredible songs. Be ready for what will surely be one of
the greatest heavy metal releases of this year and beyond.
For fans of: Iron Maiden | Helloween | Blind Guardian
