STONE NOMADS releases new single "The IVth Crusade" on Ripple Music!

Houston, Texas melodic sludge and doom metal unit STONE NOMADS present their new single "The IVth Crusade" ahead of their summer US tour and festivals appearances.

Since their ignition in Houston in 2021, Stone Nomads has channeled the journey of life and death into a signature sound built on sludged-out, powerful riff-based sonics and shapeshifting heaviness. Their third full-length and Ripple Music debut Empires of Stone channels themes of fear, societal struggle and mortality into a boiling and earth-rumbling formula that showcases the trio's devastatingly crushing firepower, while also revealing a deeper, progressive side — brooding and expansive. Described as "pure metal magic" by Doomed & Stoned and "an album of outstanding proportions" by Distorted Sound Magazine, it will appeal highly to fans of heavier-than-thou acts à la High On Fire, Crowbar and Obituary. Empires of Stone is available now on LP, CD and digital at this location.

Their upcoming US tour will span ten dates across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, including appearances at Maryland Doomfest, along with a special Ripple Music 15th Anniversary Showcase celebration on June 27th:

June 19th - Winston Salem, NC - The Den
June 20th - Richmond, VA - Bandito’s Burritos
June 21st - Frederick, MD - Maryland Doomfest presents Knights of Doom
June 22nd - Cleveland, OH - Smedley’s
June 24th - Detroit, MI - Outer Limits Lounges
June 25th - Louisville, KY - Mag Bar
June 26th - Indianapolis, IN - State Street w/ Wolftooth
June 27th - Chicago, IL - Ripple Music 15th Anniversary Showcase - Reggies
August 8th - Houston, TX - White Oak Music Hall

From the heavy heart of Houston, TX, Stone Nomads charts a monolithic path through the darker realms of doom and sludge. The power trio—conceived in 2021 by Jon Cosky (Guitar/Vocals) and Jude Sisk (Bass/Vocals)—explores the weighty concepts of life and death through a lens of pummeling riffs and progressive sludge sensibility.

Their sound is a tectonic blend, drawing equally from the classic doom of Sabbath or Trouble and the savage, sludge-laden attack of High On Fire, Crowbar and Obituary. This evolving vision has been captured on two Doom Charts-approved monoliths Fields of Doom (2022) and …At the Gates of Solitude (2023), building towards the imminent release of their crushingly heavy third album, Empires of Stone on international heavy powerhouse Ripple Music.

Known for a live show that is both energetic and utterly immersive, Stone Nomads have carved their name across the Texas scene and southern US on stages shared with the likes of Crowbar, Soulfly, The Obsessed, Eyehategod, Elder, Khemmis, as well as on three multi-region headline and co-headline tours, establishing themselves as a formidable and essential live force within the heavy underground scene.
