The Age Of Ephemerality, released in 2025 via Pelagic Records, confirms the sheer power of BRUIT ≤. Merging fierce post-rock, neo-classical arrangements, and electronic experimentation, the Toulouse-based (France) quartet delivers a deeply political album, crafted as a manifesto against mass surveillance and modern alienation.

Hailing from central Britanny, Stonebirds deliver crushing and emotionally charged sludge metal, with their first two LPs forging a unique blend of atmospheric and organic heaviness, strong melodies and harrowing clear vocals. New album "Collapse and Fail" heralds the return of a band The Sludgelord calls, "one of the Europe’s more intriguing stoner/doom performers today."
