Opeth-basisti Martin Mendezin sooloprojekti White Stones julkaisee debyyttialbuminsa maaliskuussa
Progressiivista metallia soittavan Opethin basistina tunnettu Martin Mendez julkaisee White Stones -nimisen death metal -sooloprojektinsa debyyttialbumin maaliskuun 20. päivä Nuclear Blastin kautta. Mendezin urugualaisjuurista inspiraation saanut albumi kantaa nimeä “Kuarahy”, ja Mendez avaa albumin taustoja seuraavasti:
”I feel strongly connected to Uruguay still. I wanted to write music related to that – the sun on the Uruguayan flag I transformed into the White Stones logo; there are a lot of small things that connect the record to that place. ’Kuarahy’ is the native Uruguayan people’s word for ‘Sun’.

I didn’t have any direction, I came up with the first song for fun. White Stones has nothing to do with Opeth, I see no relation between the two. I played ’Kuarahy’ to Mikael a few months ago, he really liked it and was happy for me. Everyone in the band has side projects, it’s important. We tour so much you can become consumed by it; it has been really nice to do something different. White Stones has renewed my strength and energy.”
