Stoneburner – Red In Tooth And Claw (Digital/CD EP – COP International)
This EP by Stoneburner, which feels more like a mini-album, is a remastered version of the work originally released in 2020, now featuring one additional track. As part of a larger multimedia project, it combines music with a graphic novel. Alongside the album, Stoneburner (Steven Archer) is unveiling a 200+ page graphic novel through Raw Dog Screaming Press, containing over 400 illustrations that delve deeper into the album’s narrative. While the music stays true to Stoneburner’s signature Industrial-Tribal style, it also introduces quieter tracks, though they still benefit from bombastic production. This release includes more vocal work than previous efforts, reflecting Archer’s belief that this project represents his most significant artistic creation to date. Musically, Stoneburner continues to stand out in the Electro-Industrial scene, but it may not be the first entry point I would recommend for new listeners. (Rating:7½).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
