Stonebirds

**Stonebirds** is a sludge-drenched trio hailing from Rennes, France, who’ve been carving out their niche in the stoner/doom scene since forming in 2011. Known for their massive, fuzz-soaked riffs and brooding atmospheres, the band—Julien (guitar/vocals), Valentin (bass), and Antoine (drums)—mixes crushing heaviness with hypnotic grooves. Their sound, often described as a sonic avalanche, balances raw power with introspective lyricism, creating a vibe that’s equally suited for headbanging and zoning out.

Since dropping their debut album *Time* (2016) and follow-up *Collapse and Fail* (2020), Stonebirds have solidified their reputation for delivering relentless, moody jams. Tracks like “Into the Fog ... And the Filthy Air” and “One Inch Punch” showcase their knack for weaving psychedelic textures into doom-metal foundations. They’ve crushed stages across Europe, sharing bills with acts like Mars Red Sky, and remain a go-to for fans craving weighty, emotionally charged riffscapes. Keep an ear out—their music’s a slow-burn catharsis best played loud.
