“MEDITERRANEAN FUZZED UP HEAVY ROCK”
Active since 2015, with a sound described by Metal Hammer as “mediterranean fuzzed-up heavy rock”, STONUS’s debut album ‘Aphasia’ found life in 2020 through Electric Valley Records and Daredevil Records, earning its place in various AOTY lists within the scene. This was shortly followed by their 2021 EP ‘Seance’, also released through Electric Valley Records; and their 2023 live studio session LP “Live in Zen” released via a collaboration between Electric Valley and Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Records.
Characterised by their energetic performances, high voltage sounds, and old school attitude, STONUS are currently considered to be the most internationally-active Cypriot rock band, having completed a European co-headline tour with SWAN VALLEY HEIGHTS (Fuzzorama Records) in 2022 (13 dates across GER, UK, AUS, CZE, CYP), including a headlining appearance at Berlin Swamp Fest, as well as a UK tour in 2021.
Later in 2023, STONUS completed a European mini-tour including an appearance at Westill Festival (FR) alongside bands such as Truckfighters, Kadavar, and Colour Haze. Earlier in the year, they were the supporting act to Nightstalker in London, 1000mods in Cyprus, and appeared at SoundArt Festival (RO).
In 2024 they supported Truckfighters in Cyprus, completed the recordings of their sophomore album, recorded in 1000mods studio and mastered by the legendary Howie Weinberg, to be released in 2025 and completed a European mini-tour where they played in Amsterdam and Spain for the first time. In March 2025 they supported 1000mods and Planet of Zeus on select days as part of their European Tour.
