'The Future of Metal Begins With the Past.'That is Stone Ka-Tet's motto. The five-piece band that hails from Charleston, WV consists of James Lawrence (drums), Joseph Lawrence (bass), Dave Clendenin (guitar), Christopher Bowe (guitar), and Lee Harrah (vocals).Their influences are deeply rooted in bands such as: Black Sabbath, Down, Pantera, C.o.C., and Black Label Society.Stone Ka-Tet's music is as heavy as their beliefs, with a sound that dates back to the heyday of metal. Earth moving riffs, blazing leads, and intelligently written lyrics. Add to that the no-nonsense rythym section of the Lawrence brothers, and you've got music with a very sharp edge.This 'Brand new-old school' is on a mission to start a new wave of heavy music for those who have wanted, needed, and truly deserved it. Their 4-song demo was recorded in just one day and mixed in under 6 hours. This holds true to the band's mindset of overcoming all odds and getting the job done.Stone Ka-Tet....HERE IT COMES!
