Never call a song "The Endless". Even if it IS based around the fantastic indi sci-fi of the same name, it just required endless remixing, endless studio time, endless re-records and endless waiting to redesign the band logo before it gets released... but despite all that.

First track in years i've actually played the drums on too. Hope to do that more in the future




This land
The stories it’s seen
These moments of pain, and of life
We stand on the shores of the endless
In sorrow, in loss
In prisons of time, a sleep without dreams
And without dreams we no longer live, so

Forever we hide, from the eyes in the sky
The stories we tell
We stand on the shores of the endless
In sorrow, in loss
In prisons of time, we relive our scenes
With horrors we drown out the silence.

Hail to the watcher in his palace of misery
It’s endless vigil, an abiding ancient memory
And it’s sorrow fills my heart, I’ll shed a single tear
For the souls of the watcher and the watched

Ten thousand miles under sky
Ten thousand years of sorrow
Ten thousand stories retold
Ten thousand dawns, but no tomorrow

Forever we hide, from the eyes in the sky
The stories we tell
We stand on the shores of the endless
In sorrow, in loss
In prisons of time, we relive our scenes
With horrors we drown out screams.

As a witness to suffering, are we not entertained?
A dream of release never granted,
so defiance or worship, nothing is gained
As all things were before, so all things ever after.
For the hopes and the sins of the lions and the lost.

Ten thousand miles under sky
Ten thousand years of sorrow
Ten thousand stories retold
Ten thousand dawns, yet no tomorrow

But this time
The revenant one,
the eyes in the sky send a call for lost offerings
The doors
to our prison ajar, force them open, force them wide

Why face to the morrow
My sons, I call you home now, over sky
I hear, the call, of the endless
These ancient memories, summon you back to my heart
The eyes in the skies, are they watching? Is this time?

Return to your home, return to my heart

I stand, on this pyre, it’s my choice, my final rebellion
An ending that satisfies no-one but me
Because fuck you, watchers

It’s my time, It’s my life
It’s my choice, even to die
The price is to high for the comforts your proffering
hardships of sorrow are worth it, when decision, are my own

Forever we hide, from the eyes in the sky
The stories we tell
We stand on the shores of the endless
In sorrow, in loss
In prisons of time, we run from our scenes
With horrors we drown out the silence.

Stone Burner - The Endless

Went to the most amazing festival this year Kilkim Žaibu. Got home and got inspired. Dedicated to everyone who seeks out old, new and extreme music from places around the world


An endless quest for party 
We fly across the sea 
In search of folkey metal 
And Viking games to makes us bleed 
In darkest Lithuania 
Our people we shall greet 
So drink your beer and hail tradition 
to Kilkim Žaibu metal feast 

Once seen it's never the same 
So take your heart back to times be fore 
Were you made to scream for battle 
Its apocalypse at your door? 
Sisters and our brothers 
around world lets make the voyage 
To the northern heights of Europe 
for the most epic nights of all

Where fire meets the water 
and metal meets the flesh
Emerging from the Lūkstas 
We stand upon the shore
Where modern meets tradition 
we gather all as one 
So set the fires burning 
We gather for the storm 
Kilkim Žaibu

Guitars are blistering, Drums are thundering 
Basses growling, voices roar 
Swords are clashing, axes thumping

Stone Burner - Face The Tide

3 Songs from a cracking gig in Leeds. First time I've done any live recording so results are ropey but hay ho, gotta start somehwere

Bad Medicine (Bon Jovi)

Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins)

Animal (Def Leppard)

It's Christmas time again, and that means santa murdering pirates like he did 3 years back, but this time it's been remixed and is slightly less un-listenable to

Lyrics were written years back for the Pirate Metal Band SKULL BRANDED PIRATES but never actually made a song out of it, so here it is, the unholly (get it) mash-up of Christmas, Pirates, Bloody Mutilation and Kvlt Black Metal.



As darkness descends on a cold winters night,
fog rises from the octane and the shadows strikes chills
in the bones of the mariners, so cold and alone.
Adrift on the Yule tide and so far from home.

No turkey to ravage, no mulled wine to drink.
No tinsel, no stocking, just the sharp feted reek
of an old pair of long johns, at the foot of the mast.
A bleak token gesture to Christmases past

Now slowly approaching, a bright crimson light,
and the gnarled grizzled futures of a reindeer like figurehead.
"SHIP HO!" cries the mate from the nest up above
"THE BLACK FLAG OF CHRISTMAS! OH NO! ALL IS LOST"

A vessel appears through the misty mealy.
A visage, a spectre, to last all of 12 days

Here comes Kris Kringle to naughty and nice.
With his crew of dark sea elves on a galleon of ice.
To plunder and pillage the souls of the sad.
The miserable Bastards who know they've been bad.

"HOHOHO LET THE CANNONS BLOW"
Santa bellows from the poop deck to the crew below
Fill their rotted hull with merriment there bilge fill with good cheer
Their cannons fill with crackers and their hold from 'ere to 'ere
Hang a bauble from the crows nest, hang the tinsel from the keel
And if that don’t make them merry fill their hearts with sharp cold steel

Three ships sail in to join the Rudolf's assault:
The Donner and the Blitzen and the Jolly Juggernaut,
Firing cannon balls and tinsel t'ward the mariner’s broadside.
When the first barrage was over nearly half of them had died.
The grapples flew, secured the ships together Mast To Mast.
Then descending cross the deck called captain Santa clause "AVAST!"

now listen boys and girl as this may not be nice
you've all be naughty, and given in to vice
you've plundered burned and whored and murdered
"a pirates life, you say?"
But this is Christmas time, and now its time to pay!

Santa took his cutlass out and shoved it in the captains eye
Took a burning piece of coal and shoved it in the bos'ns "chap's eye"
the quartermaster run through with a sharpened mizzenmast
then he slowly flayed the crew alive, so Christmas time could last

The black flag of Christmas, Santa will slay
from the port of Tortuga to Botany Bay
of all of the villeins, from bonny to beard
Khristopher Kringles the one you should fear.

Stone Burner - Sons Of Kahless (The Warrior's Anthem)

David Preston - Felchdeath

Started out as a songwriting template based on a certain Dimmu Borgir song... then it got a calypso mid section and then all bets were off.

Lyrics wise 2020 has been a hell of a year with some very black moments personally. This song is slightly themed around mental health generally and my experiences of searching for reasons "why", when maybe that isn't so important when compared to "what next".
