Blending a broad range of influences from the whole history of rock, country, folk and alternative, new and fresh breakout artist, Rane Stone, is quickly gaining the reputation as the new voice for “Roots Rock”.
Not afraid to speak out about the issues confronting all of us in our daily lives, Stone delivers in a way that is not only communicative, but also very self-healing. Stone pours self-aware and awakening lyrics into each composition expressing ordinary music in an extraordinary way. His music challenges and empowers those who absorb its message and lets us know that we are not alone in this enigma known as life.
This is the very essence of being a human in some very inhumane situations, self-inflicted or otherwise. The ironic struggle of our iconic and gritty nature, comparing and combining the gory with the spirited, and Stone does this masterfully. With Stone’s music there is no tricking you with the unnecessary and frivolous glitter that most bands use to get your attention. Smoke and mirrors…there are none.
Stone lays his guts out on the table while making you want to anticipate the view and commits to the songs unapologetically. There is no hesitation or insecurity whatsoever. The words and music are deliberate, confident and secure.
"TENET, originally the brainchild of guitarist Jed Simon (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, ZIMMER'S HOLE), has throughout the years evolved into a monstrous extreme metal force featuring such illustrious musicians as Steve "Zetro" Souza (EXODUS) on vocals, Glen Alvelais (FORBIDDEN, TESTAMENT) on lead guitar, Byron Stroud (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, FEAR FACTORY) on bass and Gene Hoglan (DEATH, DARK ANGEL, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD) on drums.
TENET's debut album, "Sovereign", will be released via Century Media Records on July 20 in Europe and August 11 in North America. The CD's opening track, "Being And Nothingness", has just been made available on the band's MySpace page."
