UPON STONE Streams Surprise EP End Time Lightning Ahead Of CREEPING DEATH & KRUELTY Tour

Los Angeles melodic death metal rising force Upon Stone kicks off their highly anticipated North American tour tonight with Creeping Death and Kruelty — and they’re bringing a massive surprise for fans. The band has just unleashed their brand new EP End Time Lightning, now streaming everywhere.

Produced by Upon Stone and Nails bassist Andrew Solis, and mixed by the legendary Dan Swanö (Dissection, Opeth, Katatonia), End Time Lightning delivers a devastating blend of ferocity and atmosphere. Or at least it’ll give you a healthy dose of melodic death metal, which we all need on a Friday.

End Time Lightning features two blistering new tracks alongside a ripping cover of Manowar’s 1996 classic “Outlaw.” Get it here and check out Upon Stone‘s tour dates below.

The EP features two new tracks alongside a cover of Manowar‘s 1996 song “Outlaw”. On the EP, Upon Stone said: “End Time Lightning represents a window into the next evolution in Upon Stone. More grandiose, detailed and sharpened than before, while still retaining the visceral unfiltered darkness in its core essence. A brief journey through somber yet glorious spiritual warfare, and a truly collaborative effort that sees everyone in the band pushing themselves to new heights.

“With the production helmed by a pillar of Southern California metal in Andrew Solis, while the Swedish master himself Dan Swanö, whose essential works laid the foundation that influenced Upon Stone to form, brought the songs to life through his signature lethal mix and master. The legendary Andreas Marschall Returns and delivers the perfect visual manifestation in the cover art, making this EP deadly cohesive and something we feel very proud of. Chaos Awakens!”
