Stone (1988) US release album cover |
Stone was a
thrash metal band formed in
Helsinki,
Finland in the mid-
1980s. They released four albums during the late 1980s and early
1990s, before disbanding 1991 to pursue different musical directions. Stone reunited to play a final set of concerts in year 2000, but parted ways again soon afterwards.
Despite their rather short career, Stone's legacy has provided inspiration for many of the countless
metal bands who emerged during the popularity explosion of the genre during the 1990s. Perhaps the most notable of these bands is
Children of Bodom, whose lead guitarist
Alexi Laiho credits former Stone member and current
Sinergy and
Children of Bodom bandmate
Roope Latvala as a major influence on his playing.
