Aphasia

Iain H A massive cosmis-sized slab of Doom-laden grooves. There are influences snuck into the album like Easter eggs: prog riffs, blues, Sabs, Hawkwind. My favourite track conjures an image of Ozzy Osbourne swinging through the galaxy on a huge mirror ball. This will definitely be in my top 10 releases of 2020. An amazing debut.

𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡-𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔱-𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝓒ypriot affiliates of all things fuzz-laden and groove-slayin', Stonus execute that deep desert art with songcraft bewitched; transcending language, riffage and vintage. With the gasoline generator providing a steady 66 Hz, the sun at its apex and rhythm section attuned to the shifting dunes, 'Aphasia' is a sandblasted testament to heavy rock's enduring and überpotent chemistry in twenty-twenty. Favorite track: Nadir.

Steve Rodger Eastern Mediterranean riff merchants Stonus release their new album that’s chalk full of sleazy fuzz drenched riffs that had me instantly pulling the trigger on the vinyl... Excellent !! Favorite track: Nadir.

about

"Aphasia" is the long waited Debut album of the Cypriot Heavy rockers STONUS, a fully analogue 41:43 minute LP recorded live at Wreck it Sounds Studios in Corinth, Greece under the supervision of George Leodis and John Modes. The man behind the artwork, this magnificent creation, is Diogo Soares.

'After half a decade of musical experimentation and constant learning, between UK and Cyprus, Stonus managed to define their sound seeking deep into their roots, combining a mix of psychedelic, stoner, doom and hard rock. Their debut album "Aphasia" tries to imitate the mental disorder in a more spiritual and personal perception allowing the listener to travel in their own musical path...'

Aphasia impairs a person’s ability to use or understand words. People who suffer from it may have difficulties speaking and finding the words to complete their thoughts, understanding conversations, reading, comprehending words and using numbers. Aphasia will always stay inside of you shrinking your thoughts remaining in your consciousness, trying to run after you...Can you handle it?...Can you handle it?...Can you Handle it?
