“San Fernando Valley collective Upon Stone have quickly asserted their position as one of the most promising prospects in the space of heavy music” – Knotfest
“L.A.’s Upon Stone are just bringing back real-deal melodeath.” – Revolver

Melodic Death Metal band Upon Stone have shared “Paradise Failed,” the latest single from the upcoming album Dead Mother Moon, out January 19th on Century Media Records. On the track, the band team up with Shadows Fall vocalist Brian Fair to create a feverish anthem. Intense riffs lead into bright guitar solos, providing a pillar for the deep and chaotic dual vocal delivery. “Paradise Failed” can be heard HERE and follows the previously released singles “Dead Mother Moon” and “Onyx Through the Heart”.
Speaking on the messaging for “Paradise Failed”, vocalist/bassist Xavier Wahlberg states: “Humanities short comings as a species. Destroying the beauty and balance of the natural world through greed, religion, corruption and hatred for one another.”
On working with Upon Stone, Brian Fair commented: “I was very stoked when the guys in Upon Stone asked me to hop on a track with them! They have a sound that is near and dear to my heart, aggressive and thrashy metal with just the perfect mix of melody. “Paradise Failed” is a rager of a song that has a rawness and darkness that I love. The production and guitar tone giver it an edge that rips right into you like a shark bite. Grab a copy of Dead Mother Moon and bang your fucking head!”
