Fifth studio album by the legendary Ukrainian stoner-doom trio. Release 4 June 2026 on Napalm Records label.
Stoned Jesus presents the fifth studio album 'Resurrection' on 4 June 2026 on Napalm Records label — the first in 8 years since 'Pilgrims' (2018). This is a 7-track LP (total duration 64 minutes) in the trio's signature stoner-doom style, with a primary focus on the theme of resurrection and renewal — connected to Ukraine's situation in 2022-2026. All 3 band members (Igor Sidorenko, Serhiy Slastenko, Dmytro Zaveryuha) went through AFU service in various formats during 2022-2024. Album concept — 7 'resurrections' of different types: I. 'Rising from the Ashes' (10:24 — starting epic); II. 'Garden of Lazarus' (9:18 — ballad-epigram); III. 'New Dawn Mountain' (8:55 — reference to the classic hit 'I'm the Mountain' 2012); IV. 'Shadow's Return' (12:42 — longest track, doom-medieval inspiration); V. 'Phoenix Hour' (7:30 — pop-doom synthesis); VI. 'Eastern Light Rising' (8:12 — dedicated to war heroes); VII. 'Genesis II' (7:48 — finale-epigram). Recording took place at Studio Music in Kyiv from 2024 to 2025 with production by Andy Sneap (Roadburn favourite producer, worked with Pallbearer, YOB). All 7 tracks are original compositions with weighty depth reflecting the 8-year absence of an album. The release is available in formats: digital streaming, CD digipack with 24-page booklet, 180g double LP vinyl (limited 1500 copies). Presentation concert in Kyiv on 6 June 2026 — Atlas (4000 spectators).
