In celebration of the 10th anniversary of their trailblazing debut album, stoner prog visionaries STONED JESUS are turning back the clocks and re-releasing their stoner doom offering, First Communion, on August 21st via Napalm Records.
Four hard hitting, sludgy originals are enriched with an unreleased demo version of “Red Wine”, presenting a heavy blend of uncompromising rawness and previously unheard nuances. Tracks such as “Black Woods”, with over four million of hits on YouTube, mark their peerless standing in the scene. With First Communion, STONED JESUS lays the raw cornerstone for their unmistakable signature style, melting barriers across genre boundaries in its wake.
2019 marks the 10th anniversary of Ukrainian Stoner Rock masters, STONED JESUS. Tracks such as I’m The Mountain, with millions of hits on Youtube, is an ultimate fuzz rock anthem. While STONED JESUS started as a one-man-project back in 2009, formed by frontman and band mastermind Igor Sydorenko, it would later become one of the most distinctive heavy stoner and doom rock bands the current scene has to offer. To celebrate 10 great years of STONED JESUS‘, the band got a very special surprise and gift for their fans, as they release the first two demos in a compilation, From The Outer Space – available on November 8th with Napalm Records and for the first time on a limited Vinyl edition!
“We’ve been around for the whole decade now, so I figured it would be great to give something really cool to all our fans” – comments Igor, Stoned Jesus vocalist and guitarist. “But “From the Outer Space” is not a sign of things to come obviously, more like a snapshot of a memory. This is a page of our history for you to own”.
Remastered from the original demo recordings by Igor, these five long tracks retain the uncompromising rawness of material while adding some new, previously unheard nuances to the overall mix. Celebrate with Stoned Jesus in style, and watch this cool behind-the-scene music video to the track The Sweet Whore of BabylonHERE!
“Being the first Stoned Jesus track ever written, “The Sweet Whore of Babylon” is hardly a masterpiece.“ Igor says. “Yet its relentless nature and raw sound perfectly show the beginnings of one-man-project-then/full-band-later. The video, carefully compiled and edited by me and Nastya Homenko from hours of archival footage, shows you the first ten years of Stoned Jesus in (almost) chronological order. Here’s to many more years to come!”
The tracklist From The Outer Space reads as follows:
1. The Sweet Whore of Babylon
2. Insatiable King
3. Eastern Magic
4. Occult
5. Black Woods
Better be quick, since this rare demo compilation by Stoned Jesus is only limited to 300 Vinyl copies! The pre-sale has just started at THIS LOCATION!

STONED JESUS return with a powerful swing from their latest album: Pilgrims, by releasing a brand new music video for the track “Apathy”.
STONED JESUS about “Apathy”: “”Apathy” is the brainchild of our bass player Sergii. He wrote the music, came up with the original idea for the video, filmed our post-show apathies on lo-fi Samsung vp-w70 camera and even edited the video himself! Unlike most tour videos by other bands, this one shows you the real wild life on the backstage.”
Watch the video here:
The video was shot in a realistic, vintage manner and carries the energy of the lyrics demonstratively:
They call it apathy They call it apathy Headshot Last wound The one for you and me
The Pilgrimage Tour is ahead after the short winter break and the trio of STONED JESUS is already hyped to rock the upcoming shows and present their latest album Pilgrims together with classics as “I’m The Mountain” or “Here Comes The Robots” all across Europe:
