The Ladderman – Figures on Demand (Album)
Stonus – Seance (EP)
Recorded and mixed by Andreas Matheou at Hot Soap Studios during late Summer of 2020
Mastered by George Leodis
Release: EP ”Seance”
Written by: Stonus
“A séance or seance (/ˈseɪ.ɑːns/; French: [seɑ̃s]) is an attempt to communicate with spirits. The word came to be used specifically for a meeting of people who are gathered to receive messages from ghosts or to listen to a spirit medium discourse with or relay messages from spirits.”
Following the release of their debut album “Aphasia” in early March 2020, Stonus found themselves in the middle of the pandemic, forced to cancel their first European tour – leaving the members isolated in Cyprus, Leeds and London. This was an emotionally heavy period for the band, since they were forced to stay away from the things which kept them together, however these restrictions gave them space to reflect on themselves, enabling them to connect and unify with higher energies explored through consciousness, meditation and spiritual melodies.
This is where Séance was born, through the ashes of frustration, loneliness and isolation, a silent scream for freedom, a self-realisation of multiple possible realities and an esoteric outbreak leading to a superficial ego-death.
In this trip, Stonus take a more experimental approach seeking into tradition, experiencing folk sounds, gypsy sceneries and expose themselves into the darkest side of nature. In some parts they are raw and heavy, while in others lost in a psychedelic trance, filled with roaring basslines, heavy riffs and dreamy melodies, always bloodthirsty for revolution and change. Whether you’re bound by the evil chains of pretentious love, feeling disconnected from your dreams or being chained to the system, Séance is a kind reminder that you are not alone…
