For over a decade, STONEBIRDS have thrived on duality: the eternal tension between opposing forces, with melancholy as their guiding equilibrium. Now, with their fourth and final album "Perpetual Wasteland", the Breton trio distills their essence one last time: light against darkness, crushing weight against fragile levity, and a newfound undercurrent of renewal amidst the void.

Recorded at Studio La Briche with producer Cyrille Gachet (Fange, Year of No Light), the album marks a seismic shift in sound: incisive, extroverted, and meticulously layered, yet sharper than ever. Here, the band’s sludge-drenched doom collides with soaring post-metal grandeur, crafting an epitaph that is as nuanced as it is uncompromising.

Thematically, "Perpetual Wasteland" is a visceral meditation on collapse and transcendence. Drawing from haunting imagery of ecological decay, human isolation, and the elusive promise of deliverance, STONEBIRDS weave desperation into something strangely luminous. The riffs are tectonic, the melodies achingly sparse, each note a frayed thread in a tapestry of ruin. Yet within the chaos, there’s revelation: a fleeting brilliance, like light through cracked earth. This is the end, but not without fire
