White Stones release new song ‘Drowned In Time’

WHITE STONES have released a new song!

The new song, titled Drowned In Time, is taken from the debut album, Kuarahy, of the new death metal project of Martin Mendez, bassist of the ubiquitous OPETH, which is scheduled to be released in March this year.

Watch the official lyric video for Drowned In Time here: 

The creative process for the debut album began during a year-long break OPETH took after the Sorceress tour, as a means of unwinding by exploring new avenues of creativity. Initially that’s all it was ever meant to be. “I’ve always written music at home but never had the confidence to do anything like this,” says Mendez“I never wrote a song, never presented something I wrote for Mikael [ÅkerfeldtOPETH singer/songwriter]. I didn’t have any direction, I came up with the first song for fun. WHITE STONES has nothing to do with OPETH, I see no relation between the two. I played Kuarahy to Mikael a few months ago, he really liked it and was happy for me. Everyone in the band has side projects, it’s important. We tour so much you can become consumed by it; it has been really nice to do something different. WHITE STONES has renewed my strength and energy.”

Kuarahy is set for release on March 20th via Nuclear Blast Records.
