Stoned Jesus is a Ukrainian band that has valiantly carved a niche for itself within the stoner rock and doom metal scenes. Formed in Kyiv in 2009 by Igor Sydorenko, the band's name signifies a unique blend of stoner music's heavy riffs and a spiritual, almost trance-like approach to its delivery. Over the years, Stoned Jesus has developed a dedicated following, owing to their dynamic approach to music that encapsulates heavy doom-laden melodies, profound lyricism, and an evident reverence for the early grunge and rock movements.

The band's discography showcases a commitment to evolution both in sound and complexity. Their earlier albums, including “First Communion” and “Seven Thunders Roar,” are paeans to the stoner rock genre, while later works such as “Pilgrims” and “The Harvest” display a progression towards more intricate arrangements and diverse influences. With tracks like "Father Light" and "Thoughts and Prayers," Stoned Jesus continues to expand their auditory palette, infusing it with a mix of aggression and contemplation that strikes a chord with fans across the globe. Their ability to tell compelling stories through music, coupled with strikingly intense live performances, has solidified their status as torchbearers in the international stoner and doom metal community.
