Our Take

White Stones' sophomore album, "Kuarahyin," is a feast for the ears that will have you questioning whether you're actually listening to music or experiencing a divine intervention. The brainchild of Opeth's Martin Mendez, this album takes you on a journey through the cosmos and back, all while maintaining a healthy dose of headbanging riffs and guttural growls.

From the opening track, "La Guerra del Agua," you are transported to a realm where prog meets death metal in a beautifully chaotic dance. The intricate guitar work and thunderous drums create a sonic landscape that is both brutal and ethereal, like being caught in a cyclone made of sound.

Tracks like "Drowned in Time" and "The One" showcase Mendez's masterful songwriting and ability to weave together melodic passages with crushing heaviness. The album flows seamlessly from one track to the next, building tension and releasing it in a flurry of blast beats and soaring vocals.

"Kuarahyin" is a triumph of modern metal, showcasing White Stones' ability to push the boundaries of the genre while still paying homage to its roots. Whether you're a die-hard Opeth fan or new to the world of progressive death metal, this album is a must-listen. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by the sheer brilliance of White Stones.

About the artist

White Stones

WHITE STONES, the enigmatic solo project of Opeth bassist Martin Mendez, has emerged onto the metal scene with a sound as dark and enticing as a moonless night. With influences ranging from atmospheric black metal to prog rock, Mendez crafts a sonic journey that is as captivating as it is haunting. Mendez's bass skills, honed over years of touring and recording with Opeth, take center stage in WHITE STONES, providing a deep, rumbling foundation for the band's signature sound. The riffs are heavy and hypnotic, drawing listeners in like a siren's song, while the atmospheric textures weave a tapestry of sound that is both complex and immersive. But don't let the darkness of WHITE STONES' music fool you - Mendez's lyrics are often infused with a wry sense of humour, offering a glimpse into the mind behind the music. Songs like "Worms" and "Drowned in Time" explore themes of mortality and existential despair, but with a wink and a nod that keeps things from becoming too self-serious. With WHITE STONES, Martin Mendez has proven himself to be not just a master of the bass, but a formidable songwriter and frontman in his own right. Whether you're a die-hard Opeth fan or a newcomer to the world of metal, WHITE STONES is a project that demands your attention - and once you give in, you may find yourself lost in its dark, twisted world for days on end.
