 Du kan vinne stonegards siste album "From Dusk Till Doom" + en billett til deg og en venn til en av konsertene under. Alt du trenger å gjøre er å sende svar på dette spørsmålet til contact@stonegard.org. Hvilkene 6 sanger ligger ute på Stonegards myspace side? 5 vinnere trekkes på fredag kl 12. Husk å sende med fullt navn og telefonnummer. Stonegard takker for seg med to konserter i Oslo denne helga. Stonegard har vært et av de mest markante rockebandene på den norske scenen de siste årene, men etter ca 10 år takker de altså for seg på Rockefeller den 16.1 og Sub Scene den 17.1.På Rockefeller har de invitert Sahg og Spellemannsnominerte i klassen Metall, Benea Reach med til å lage en festaften, og på Sub Scene er det Shraphead som står for oppvarminga.Stonegard ble startet allerede i 2000 og de ble raskt undergrunnshelter i Oslo, spesielt i miljøet rundt SoWhat der de opptrådte utallige ganger.På By:Larm i 2003 markerte de seg kraftig med to konserter som ble anmeldt til terningkast 5 av Håkon Moslet som den gang jobbet i Dagbladet.Bandet signerte platekontrakt med Bonnier Amigo i 2004 og i 2005 kom deres Debut, ”Arrows” som av mange ble karakterisert som tidenes norske rockedebut.Påfølgende konserter på Quart, Øya, Norwegian Wood, samt oppvarmingsjobber for Slipknot, Korn, Black Sabbath og System Of a Down satte for alvor bandet på kartet,og gav dem et stort og trofast publikum. I 2006 kom Oppfølgeren ”From Dusk Till Doom”. Også denne fikk en strålende mottakelse, bl.a. av Stein Østbø i VG som kastet en femmer og mente bandet fortjente et stort og bredt publikum.Stonegard fortsatte sitt virke med omfattende turnering i Skandinavia og Europa. I 2008 signerte Stonegard med Indie Recordings ”From Dusk Till Doom” ble sluppet i enremikset utgave i Norge og Europa i påvente av et nytt studioalbum. From Dusk Till Doom (European Edition) fikk en meget god mottakelse i Europa,og Stonegard ble bekreftet til Enslaved..s ”Vertebrae Tour” som skulle gå av stabelen i november og desember 2008.Rett i forkant av denne var det imidlertid stopp. Uenigheter om veien videre gjorde det umulig for bandet å fortsette, og brått var Stonegard historie.Denne helgen tar de altså sitt endelige farvel med to konserter i Oslo.Rockefeller konserten blir filmet og tapet til en DVD som skal slippes før sommeren.

The Darkest Hour has arrived..
Due to internal conflicts and disagreements Stonegard has decided to cease as a band. In the best Rock N..Roll tradition we could not find a way to continue our work together, and therefore chose to put an end to things right away. Stonegard will not join Enslaved for the announced European tour in November/December, and we are truly sorry to disappoint everyone that was looking forward to seeing the band live this fall. Mostly it has been an incredible joyride, and we hope you all appreciated what we added to the scene. We will most definitely be back in different shapes and constellations so keep your eyes and more importantly ears open. A special thanks to all our fans that has been with us throughout the years - you made this special for us - Thank you!
R.I.P. - STONEGARD

Having been a well-kept Scandinavian secret, Stonegard is finally ready for their proper European debut! They have teamed up with the upcoming label, Indie Recordings, for their new release "From Dusk Till Doom" (European Edition), and it will no doubt make a serious impact on the European Rock-and Metal scene. Stonegard have spent their first years in Scandinavia touring heavily and opening for mastodons like Black Sabbath, Korn, Slipknot, Motorhead and SOAD. "It's an undisputed honour!" is the answer when confronting guitarist Ronny Flissundet with this nice line-up of support slots. "I guess we stir up a crowd for them" he says, well aware of that it is now the hard work really begins, breaking into new territories.
When their debut "Arrows" came out in 2005 it was by many described as "The best Norwegian metal debut of all times". "Arrows" became a success selling more than 7000 copies in Scandinavia alone. "From Dusk Till Doom" has so far reached 5000 in Scandinavia and for the European release they have upgraded the album with a new mix, re-recorded guitars and bass and brought in no other than Ted Jensen (Slipknot/Machine Head) for the mastering. Produced and recorded by Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames/Meshuggah), Mixed by Stamos Koliousis/Vangelis Labrakis (Mencea/Superpsychics) their new record sounds nothing but outstanding.
Nine killer, unique and diverse songs - no fillers, no bullshit. The music goes darker, faster and harder yet still keeps the melodic trademark vocals and the constant focus on a good melody. Stonegard shows ice cold precision with their song writing. Combining the progressiveness of TOOL with the brutal up-tempo thrash of bands like The Haunted and Slayer, all wrapped in a fat, warm sound. The band has also taken use of their strong vocal resources, and all band members contribute with their singing (and screaming) on this album.

salute! Just checking in to inform you guys about our official website, www.stonegard.org.
It has a splendid FORUM, which used to be very busy, but after a period of less gigs and a more anonymous, quiet songwriting period, the trafficking on the site has slowed down.
So here..s just to recruit new members to our forum: Check it out! Discuss stonegard or other stuff with your fellow soulmates, or just read older posts, the bandmembers..points of view on maters etc:
