In recent years Greece has turned out to be a real treasure trove especially for metal bands. Cellar Stone also come from Greece (Athens). With the two band founders Aris Pirris (Vocals, Guitar/ Persona Non Grata) and George Maroulees (Guitar/ Diviner) two old hands of the music scene have joined forces in 2018. With Akis Rooster (Bass/4Bitten, Band 13) and George Karlis (Drums) the line up was complete. Great hooks, fabulous leads, power and feeling, Cellar Stone deliver mightily on their 2nd album "Rise & Fall". Influenced by rock & metal giants like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, UFO, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice In Chains, as well as bands of today like Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown, Mastodon and Alter Bridge, Cellar Stone make their own statement. Fitting that Black Stone Cherry frontman Chris Robertson makes a guest appearance on the album, with a fiery guitar solo on track "War We Can Win".The Covid pandemic and the impact it had on people's lives, especially the music industry, is reflected throughout the album. How unsafe our lives suddenly became, on a global scale, is the main theme in the music and lyrics. Refrains that stick, strong melodies, a pandemonium of guitar harmonies and massive guitar riffing, 11 brand new heavy rock tracks that leave an impression.
