Behind The Tracks: Stone Sea - Age Of Tears (Single) (2025)

“Age of Tears” is a song born from that inner quake — the moment life asks you to shed old skin whether you’re ready or not. It came from a reflective stretch in Ireland, where silence had a weight and thoughts grew teeth. The track dives into the strange beauty of decay: how parts of us must fall away so something braver can take their place. Fragile at first — almost whisper-like — it slowly cracks open and erupts into a storm of distorted, octavated guitars and a groove that doesn’t march, but prowls. Stone Sea — a Brazilian-born, Ireland-bred, now Spain-rooted trio — have always lived in the space between heaviness and transcendence, and “Age of Tears” might be the clearest example of that. It leans into stoner doom, brushes against grunge, pulls from Eastern European modes, and still feels strangely intimate. Like a confession muttered right before the shout.

Recorded at Trackmix Studios in Dublin, Elvis Suhadolnik Bonesso tracked guitars live alongside Connor Middleton’s drum takes — no click, no grid, no artificial spine — just two musicians following the pulse of a song that wanted to breathe on its own. The result is raw and human, the kind of heaviness that hits not because it’s loud, but because it’s honest.

“Age of Tears” is for listeners who crave both shadow and light in their music — the ones who understand that transformation hurts, but staying still hurts even more. It’s a leap into the unknown, a reminder that breaking down is sometimes the first step toward breaking through.

Take it in. Let it crack something open.

Lyrics:

Chase, don't let it go

Warp before erodes

Shape the age of tears

Drown out your own kin

Unleash a rainy day

Lack what you embrace

Wake your mild rage

Fake your sleeping state
