Prepare thyselves, mortals of The Earth, for the end is truly nigh. You've seen the signs: deadly plagues, wars, famines, disasters both natural and man-made, and the continued popularity of monotonous deathcore have all foretold of the impending arrival of The Ultimate Threat, The Bringer of Doom, The Great Evil One Himself, Lord Breakdownicus Gratuitous. Mankind has but one hope: Necromancing the Stone, the new no-nonsense traditionalist metal band that puts the "awe" in awesome. These five Titans of Metal have been living on our planet for centuries, most recently under the assumed aliases of James Malone (Arsis), Jeramie Kling (The Absence), Ryan "Bart" Williams (ex-The Black Dahlia Murder), and "Big John" Williams and Justin Wood (both of Brimstone Coven notoriety). The mission they have fulfilled for thousands of years: to protect the five fragments of The Earthen Stone, a mysterious and powerful object that is even more of the earth than all other stones (hence the name). But now, with the sinister powers of Lord Breakdownicus Gratuitous growing more gratuitously breakdowny every day, this quintet has united to save the human race, vowing to defeat the nefarious Lord Breakdownicus... with riffs. Commented the bloated male corpse that has been passing for Kathleen Turner these past two decades, "This band rages like a nightclub fire!" Added her Romancing the Stone co-star Michael Douglas, "They rock so hard, they just might give you tongue cancer!"
