Sweden's high-octane stoner metal trio 10,000 YEARS unleash their brand new single "The Experiment" on all streaming platforms today. Their new album "All Quiet On The Final Frontier" will be released on November 22nd via Ripple Music.
"The sound is urgent, the rhythms unrelenting, the weight heroic. (...) Alex Risberg's vocals are formidable, filling the skies with vivacious rage. His bass pummels, joined by furious drumming from new guy Alvin Risberg. Erik Palm's guitars are searing and unmerciful." - Doomed & Stoned

Fasten your seatbelts, for Sweden's up-and-coming stoner metal merchants 10,000 Years are ready to propel you way beyond the stratosphere with their blazing hot new album on Ripple Music! Setting all sound systems ablaze with their deflagration of fuzz, churning riffs, feverish screams and grooves as dense as a supermassive black hole, the power trio formed by the Risberg brothers on rhythm section and Erik Palm on guitar hurtles through with fire and fury. "All Quiet On The Final Frontier" is an epic and heavy shot of sonic adrenaline that should win over Kylesa, Dozer, The Sword, Dö and High On Fire fans from the get-go!
About the new single, the band says: "The Experiment was one the very first songs we worked on and finished after Alvin (Risberg, drums) joined our fearless crew. I think the song is very us, and very telling regarding where we're at as a band and where we're going in the future. It's got the heavy stuff as well as some weird riffing and it just goes all out, all the time. Lyrically, the title came first and I thought "What's the coolest, most legendary experiment?" and ended up at Dr. Frankenstein's lair for inspiration."
New album "All Quiet On The Final Frontier"
Out November 22nd on Ripple Music (vinyl/CD/Digital)
Formed in The Year Of The Plague, 2020, 10,000 Years has since churned out their signature brand of skull-crushing stoner metal at a relentless pace. Releasing records in 2020, 2021 and 2022, of which "II" gave them a much-deserved nomination at the Swedish independent Grammys Manifest for Best Metal, the world may not be ready for the insane massiveness that 10,000 Years have in store for it in 2024 and beyond.
As 10,000 Years now ready their return with their heavily awaited new album, they leave the complex concepts of the Albatross Trilogy behind to explore new frontiers both musically and thematically, focusing on standalone songs and compiling them into the absolute beast that is "All Quiet On The Final Frontier". While still very much in the business of stoner metal, and The Riff still reigning supreme, "All Quiet On The Final Frontier" boasts a more melodic approach. It is a natural evolution while staying true to the band's essence and the sharply focused songwriting makes for 10,000 Years strongest effort yet. Having joined the Ripple Family, sure to be a grand new step in their journey, this album sees 10,000 Years take a massive leap forward into new and hugely exciting territory.
"All Quiet On The Final Frontier" also introduces new drummer Alvin Risberg on wax, his powerhouse drumming providing a shot of adrenaline to the heart of the band and melding perfectly with the guitar wizardry of Erik Palm and Alex Risberg's thundering bass and howling vocals. Recording, as usual, took place at the legendary Studio Sunlight with the equally legendary Tomas Skogsberg manning the controls. Mastering was handled by Magnus 'Devo' Andersson at Endarker Studios.
