Puerto Rican progressive metal outfit Moths and Philly
rockers The Stone Eye will be unleashing a 4-track split EP on August
21st. "Intervention" and
"Hand of Doom" (Black Sabbath cover) showcase Moths' unconventional
and at times even psychedelic interpretation of stoner metal, while The Stone
Eye drives their garage rock gumbo to colossal heights with "Presence of
the Mind" and comes back down to earth with the bluesy cover of "Wayfaring
Stranger" a traditional folk song.
"Presence of the Mind is an older tune that was
primarily written by our drummer Jeremiah and that's been in our catalogue for
quite a bit. It actually was one of the first tunes where we really experimented
with harmonizing vocally. It's always been something we all wanted to come back
to as we matured musically- a lot of tunes get phased out in the live
environment when you end up writing and releasing new material, but we always
stuck on to Presence as the year's passed. It sort of just evolved with us as
we grew, and that's really cool in it of itself. So, we decided to hop in the
studio and re-record it and this is what came out of that session." -

About The Stone Eye
Rising from the ashes of absolutely nothing but the remnants
of Uncle Earl’s canned Budweiser in 2014, The Stone Eye is an electrifying rock
band from Philadelphia, PA. Combining elements of stoner,
alternative, progressive, and garage rock comes a hard-hitting yet catchy style
of music. Hell, we’d wager that there’s even more styles of music which they
draw inspiration from. Crazy, right? Following a plethora of releases dating
back to 2014, The Stone Eye is at it yet again with their latest full length
record, Ventura.
This one’s for you, Uncle Earl.
