STONEBURNER To Open for Stoner Legends SLEEP in Seattle

Seventh Rule Recordings are pleased to announce that psyched-out sludge fiends STONEBURNER have been tapped to open for stoner doom legends SLEEP when they come to Seattle on June 4, 2012. This doomed event will take place at Neumo's, and is sure to be an evening of absolute aural annihilation. Formed in early 2008, STONEBURNER is a down-tuned metal band from Portland Oregon, the members of which are and were involved in Buried At Sea, Buried Blood, Heathen Shrine, Hideous Infant, and Scourge Schematic. Throughout their pained existence, they've shared stages with Saint Vitus, Buzzoven, YOB, Nachtmystium, and more (and are clearly no strangers to high-profile gigs!). As the band themselves say, "We are influenced by a love for all forms of extreme music as well as the trials and stresses of life, and it has been our goal from day one to combine these elements into the heaviest of riffs, with deeply personal lyrics. We’ve found throughout our lives that music is the finest form of dealing with the pain, frustration, and drudgery of our meager existences…if we didn’t have this band, functioning day to day would be almost unbearable. Finally, after four years, we feel that we’ve recorded some shit that does justice to our live intensity, engineered and mixed with the help of our brother in arms Fester (Mongoloid Village, Burials). We are pleased to have Seventh Rule release our debut full-length album, Sickness Will Pass. STONEBURNER's Seventh Rule debut is slated for a late May release - stay tuned for more details and announcements! Check out Stoneburner's Bandcamp page.
