They’ve always been true trailblazers, but on the band’s upcoming sixth album, Stoned Jesus are expanding their horizons to a mind-melting degree. On the first single from “Songs To Sun,” the Heavy Progressive Rockers outran their demons by popping off surprising twists and hidden hooks. Now, front man Igor Sydorenko and his new mates are revealing something that the band has never done before.
Stoned Jesus are releasing a new scorcher from “Songs To Sun.” “Low” boils with frustration over trying to please people. But as documented by its behind-the-scenes video, thanks to some newfound chemistry, their latest single breaks through the surrounding pressure by becoming the first song in the band’s discography with blast beats.
“‘Songs To Sun’ shows off the heavier, more aggressive side to Stoned Jesus,” Sydorenko says. “‘Low’ is about trying but failing to satisfy everyone. The frustration ends up exploding mid-song into what’s now our most straight-up metal song to date.”
“Songs To Sun” comes out September 19, 2025 on Season Of Mist. Pre-Order & Pre-Save HERE. Pre-Save on Spotify.
“Songs To Sun” is the first in a forthcoming trilogy of LPs that once complete, will stand as the pinnacle of what’s been a decades-long trip for Stoned Jesus. But while positively glowing with catchy choruses that have pushed these Heavy Progressive Rock trailblazers up summer festival posters, there’s an existential shadow that hangs over their new album. While recorded amidst the natural light that beams into Monochrom Studio from the surrounding Polish countryside, Sydorenko wrote these songs while finding a way through his own personal valleys.
“Low” is weighed down by the soul-sucking feeling that comes from trying to be everything to everyone. While exceptionally nimble, the song’s opening riff winds into an angry, hard rock shuffle. “Nothing I’ve tried would make you glow,” Sydorenko shouts over an unrelenting groove.
But while their new single provides plenty of headbanging moments, Stoned Jesus are still ignited by a shared passion for experimenting with their sound. While they’re road tested following Hellfest, dates with Cult Of Luna and the recent 15th Anniversary Tour, “Songs To Sun” is the first album that Sydorenko made with his new rhythm section. Shot in studio, the video for “Low” highlights their creative chemistry. Andrew Rodin holds down the low end with a climbing bass line and punishing backing vocals – only for Yurii Ciel to blow the song wide open with a torrential rush of blast beats.
“Even though this song deals with some heavy topics,” Sydorenko says, “having fun together while working in the studio on »Songs To Sun« was the best recording experience each of us has ever had.”
