Cruel Miracle - "Stone"

When "Stone," the latest single from Cruel Miracle starts, you'd be forgiven for assuming it's going to be your standard alt-rock track. However, the Boston band quickly veers off in an unexpected direction for those of us unfamiliar with them. "Stone" is a hard rock track overall, but the band add in these unexpected little flourishes throughout. As heavy as the song is, there are elements that almost make the song a dance track, or even a little jazz maybe? Cruel Miracle have made a song that rocks as hard as it grooves, and thrown in some absolutely killer riffs for good measure. This one is a lot of fun for those times you just want to rock out.

Cruel Miracle say of their latest single/video:

“‘Stone’ is a story about perseverance – staying strong while remaining true to yourself. In typical Cruel Miracle fashion, one of us brought some riffs and then we all worked on the structure and arrangements. This was first created as a post-pandemic tune, so the feel was based on the struggles of the time and the battle against our personal demons.”
