"The Harvest" is an exclusive outtake off Ukrainian heavy rock trio STONED JESUS' third full-length "The Harvest" (released 24 February 2015). 

This bonus track will be soon available on download. 
NEW ALBUM "The Harvest" available at stonedjesus.bandcamp.com/album/the-harvest

STONED JESUS is a trio hailing from Kiev, Ukraine, which has been one of the biggest bands to emerge on the Eastern Europe stoner scene these past few years. Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist Igor, they first toured Russia and Ukraine extensively, after what they released their highly-anticipated debut "First Communion".
 
2011 saw STONED JESUS kept exploring and changed direction with the "Stormy Monday" EP, but it is mostly with their second full-length "Seven Thunders Roar" that the band really drew attention , pushing their songwriting to another level. Less doom, more psychedelic, the album peaks with 16-minute long epic « I’m The Mountain », which remains the most progressive and ambitious song the band has written so far.

After a slight lineup change and a couple of more material released, STONED JESUS returned in 2015 with their third album to date, « The Harvest ». One thing is for sure: it didn’t leave the fans indifferent, by getting away from the trio’s psychedelic roots to offer a more fun and straightforward approach. From its catchy hooks and compelling vocals to its darker auspices, « The Harvest » can be seen as a red hot rock’n’roll meteor, probably the most ardent album STONED JESUS has ever released. It will prompt you to jump in the pit asap, and mosh as if it was your last night on Earth. Louder!

Stoned Jesus - "The Harvest" (exclusive track)

Whiskey on the Park Bench

People talkin
They wondering why I'm so mellow
People talking to me
Say I'm a cool kind of fellow

They say man how come nothing get to you?
Who's your Messiah brother who is your guru?
I say man ain't got nothin to do with that, all I need is eight dollars and a brown paper bag

I drink whiskey on the park bench
I drink it down till the morning light
I drink whiskey on the park bench
I drink it down till I feel alright

Now people searching
They looking for cosmic meaning
People looking around
They look for some magical feeling

I tell you, what if the answer's lying under your nose?
Cause we are made of flesh and bone
There's too much pain, that is understood
So I say do it if it feels good

I drink whiskey on the park bench
I drink it down till the morning light
I drink whiskey on the park bench
I drink it down till I feel alright

Stoned Jesus - Seven Thunders Roar - 01 Bright Like The Morning

Is there something I should know
Of the colours that you show?
I remember those words
In the back of my mind
There is an old phantom
It isn’t a secret this mind’s shrouded in history 
It isn’t a secret this mind spirals in disarray 
It isn’t a secret this mind shudders in mystery 
It isn’t a secret I find terror in memory
Come close. Don’t be afraid. 
It’s stranger than you think
Desperately opiate, weary
Feverish host to us, teary eyed
History hexes us
History hexes us
Don’t look. Don’t think 
Don’t feel. Don’t move. Don’t breathe
Don’t make a sound. It lives. It breathes
In my conscious mind
(Rosebud don’t change)
It isn’t a secret this mind’s shrouded in history 
It isn’t a secret this mind spirals in disarray 
It isn’t a secret this mind shudders in mystery 
It isn’t a secret I find terror in memory
I live and breathe again
These gory locks, don’t you dare forget them 
Don’t you dare.
Don’t you dare.
History hexes us
I breathe again
History hexes us
I live again

Hexes Ft. Martin Grech

Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear?
Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light?
Will I disappear with a memory of your sorrow?
Will I disappear until I can’t feel the light?
Ten years of hope have past
You felt alone and pictured life a little differently
And people say that life has just begun
You waited patiently, a lotus in the sun
You radiate for me in luminescent light 
And People say that life has just begun
When you’re not a part of me I feel dead inside
Disturbed; will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Until I can’t feel the light?
Disturbed; when I get the feeling I've been here before 
I’m the abandoner
Ten years of sorrow passed
No pleasure in the sun 
You couldn’t cope in all honesty
The secrets of the past will come undone
Seasons of change elapse
Honour no mistrust 
Faithfully until the day you die
And People say the journey’s just begun 
When you’re not a part of me I feel dead inside
Disturbed; will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Or will I fall?
Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before
Disturbed, will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow
Or will I fall?
Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before
I’m the abandoner

Survival

Survival (ERRAI)

No little secrets left to compare
No feelings left for me to dare
No worries left for me to despair, only emptiness
Enticed by the familiar candlelight I see swaying up ahead 
You ask, “Was it all for nothing, do you trust in me…are you special?” 
You're the menace of the night, inquisitive to my request 
And I ask, “Do you have discretion, assiduity, freedom?” 
I knew that it was wrong to believe I was letting go
I can’t deal with the vice below
And I knew that it was wrong; I denied you all along 
You dissipate while I became an isolated fool 
I am the prisoner     
You disappear while I’m left here stuck in isolation
This is abandoned love
You dissipate. I’m full of hate without a hope and vision 
To disappear into a cage of solitude: this is abandoned love 
You dissipate without a hope and vision
You are the prisoner 
You disappear into isolation 
Build your cages.
Cage of solitude. 
Build you cages.
Cage of solitude.

Cages

Cages (ERRAI)

I’ll wait for you; run wild and aspire 
Thrive, burn young fire
When you say “fight back” our love won’t tire 
Unweathered and untethered light
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming
No time to sleep as I begin to weep
Life is fleeting
I tighten fast inside your tourniquet
Stop the bleeding
Your tenderness, your softened skin
All I needed
Your love is my tourniquet
Learn to rise, contain the pressure
This was supposed to be no miracle
Bow down because I’m under pressure once again 
I promise you, I promise you
Take my strength
I honour you with everything
Take my strength
I promise you and I will see it through
You lay dreaming?
The endless light you shine on me
All I needed

Tourniquet

Tourniquet (ERRAI)

Here I can breathe again 
I left it all behind to watch the days go by
Now I can breathe again 
I choose to never let go
So take your time, concentrate
Know the clock is ticking - don’t be late
Stand your ground, do your worst
Fragile frame, minor world
Take your time, prove your worth 
Don’t look behind, you’ll make it worse 
Why won’t you forgive me?
I was so alone, soaking to the bone
How could you forgive me?
Was I pitiful, unforgivable?
Unholiest, irreverent, immoral son. 
Ungodly one

Introducing ZETA: the collective mind of Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner), Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT) and Katie Jackson. What is set to be a multi-sensory experience, The UK artists seek to push their own creative boundaries by exploring epic soundscapes that intertwine with stunning visuals. 

This unique project fuses the retro synth heavy decade of the 80s with futuristic and breathtaking imagery, bringing past and future together in a Cyberpunk-esque package. With a huge span of influences ranging from metal, future garage, retrowave, prog, classical and various game and film soundtracks, their music embraces the sounds of electronica, but with textures and layers inspired by the whole musical spectrum.

BIOGRAPHY:

Daniel Tompkins is an award winning and innovative British singer / songwriter from Nottinghamshire in The East Midlands. More widely recognised as the singer for TesseracT with his unique live performances and unmistakable dramatic soundscapes on the highly acclaimed albums ‘One’ and 'Polaris'. Since 2009 Daniel has established himself as a highly respected vocalist with a dedicated worldwide fan base. Arguably one of the busiest collaborative vocalists, Daniel’s voice has been celebrated as one of the best in modern progressive rock and metal.
 
Daniel has released a diverse catalogue of records to date and in doing so demonstrated a natural ability to marry his distinct voice to various genres and yet remain in mesmerising control of his audience. However, much more than a recording artist, he is an accomplished performer who has earned a host of awards and honours having toured the world, sharing the stage with artists such as Iron Maiden, Gojira, Lamb of God, Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Senses Fail, Animals As Leaders, No Use For A Name, Periphery and Protest The Hero
 
Looking to the future Daniel now balances his time between TesseracT and White Moth Black Butterfly and his various collaborations continuing to create a strong impression within the music industry. 
 
PEER AND PRESS QUOTES:

“Dan has a hell of a voice!!!” – DEVIN TOWNSEND 
 
“Check out the awesome vocals of Dan Tompkins, the man can sing YEAH!!’ – JON GOMM
 
“The dramatic soundscapes Dan Tompkins creates really are on another level, standing above the current crop of vocalists out there. Tesseract are destined for great things with a frontman leading the charge like this…one of the best vocals in modern metal” – SCUZZ TV (UK)
 
“An exceptional album from (White Moth Black Butterfly) Dan Tompkins. An absolutely essential work. Experimental, accessible and quite brilliant. This ranks high amongst this year’s progressive releases.” – Classic Rock Presents Prog Magazine
 
“There are so many musicians out there who jump from genre to genre and experiment with different kinds of sound but not all of them are able to pull it off. Out there, a bunch of them have the ability to make things so awkward, you’d just want to question what they were thinking. But then again, there are the special ones, the ones who shine in the dark and shine even brighter against the sun. The One’s who fully understand and are able to control their capabilities and of course the ones who actually know how to take things to the next level. They have this gift in whatever they do, it just works. One man who’s got this gift is UK-based vocalist, Daniel Tompkins – PULP MAGAZINE (MANILA)
