Melodic death metal band Upon Stone have recently signed with Century Media Records. Upon Stone were formed during the pandemic. The band recorded a four-song EP Where Wild Sorrows Grow during that time and released it in 2021.
The band share their thoughts about the new deal:
“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.”
Century Media VP of A&R, Mike Gitter says:
“Upon Stone stands out for reenergizing influences from the early Scandinavian scene with an authenticity and intensity that’s undeniable. They’re bringing back some of modern metal’s most important influences. It’s a sound that’s deep in the label’s history that Upon Stone makes lethal again.”
The band have released a new song titled “Onyx Through The Heart,” which is accompanied by a music video directed by Steven Grise & Wyatt Bentley.

The band share their thoughts on the new song:
“‘Onyx Through the Heart’ taps into the inherent grandeur and chaos held within the nocturnal world. Something ancient and feral awakens deep within the human spirit when surrounded by the darkness of nature in total solitude. This track seeks to strengthen that bond. To the Night Without Return!”
