Century Media Records is proud to announce the signing of San Fernando Valley, California, melodic death metal band, UPON STONE.
The band delivers a uniquely visceral unfiltered energy and fuses it with a passion for the earliest and rawest Melodeath influences including At The Gates, In Flames, and Dissection.
Their newest anthem “Onyx Through the Heart” can be listened to below.
Comprised of bassist/vocalist Xavier Wahlberg, drummer Wyatt Bentley and guitarists Ronny Lee Marks and Gage Goss, Upon Stone was forged during the pandemic days, during which the band recorded its first release, a four-song EP, Where Wild Sorrows Grow, which was released in late 2021 on the Creator Destructor label. The band made its live debut in January of 2022 supporting Japan’s Kruelty and have since shared stages with the likes of Unearth, Gatecreeper, 200 Stab Wounds, as well as a US tour with labelmates Vomit Forth and an appearance at the Knocked Loose-curated LDB Fest in Louisville, KY.
Upon Stone shared the following:
“We’re beyond elated to announce our signing to Century Media. The label’s commitment to releasing music from vital new artists, coupled with their undeniable legacy as the global gold standard for all facets of extreme metal makes this partnership incredibly exciting for us. From Unanimated to Insomnium and Dark Tranquillity, Century Media is the obvious home for Melodic Death Metal in 2023, and we’re honored to be a part of it.”
