STONECAST
"Inherited Hell"
Underground Symphony, 2009
US CD-109

Energy is the first word that comes to mind while listening to Stonecast's debut disc titled "Inherited Hell". An overwhelming injection of power accompanied by over-the-top musicianship marks the work of this French combo devoted to a very much up-to-date interpretation of sheer power metal.
Solid roots of heavy metal recalling the giants of past decades have been developed and evolve into a contemporary and individual style that only Stonecast can boast, and they rock it through!
Aggressive guitars and hammering rhythmic patterns make a solid framework for sharp vocal lines that remain as carved in the listener's ear.
The impressive variety of musical situations composing each song make the album flowing smoothly despite its richness of arrangements and refined inserts.
Energy we said, and that's what transpires also from their visual approach, just one look at the album's cover art and one gets at once how intriguing and carrying away this album is. Plus, the disc comes in very smart thick digipack format, as thick as its musical contents, displaying a rate of quality rarely available in most of contemporary industry products.
Check out what the band is like on their myspace profile, and expect them on tour at your nearby venue in the very next few weeks.
Release scheduled for mid-March 2009
