STONE OF TEAR FOUNDED BY: JEFF WESTBROOK

11-13-2008~ The Story of Stone Of Tear ~
S.O.T started as the Birth Child of the Marin County Drummer Jeff Westbrook with the assistance Sonoma Counties Bass Player John McHugh. STONE OF TEAR originated early in 2006, but didn’t really kick in until talented new member from Dallas TX Marc Houston / Guitarist arrived in Mid 2006. After Marc Houston joined with Jeff Westbrook & John McHugh. SOT began writing with the motivation to create an original vocal driven project that would find its way to the local scene. The goal at that time, as a long term project, was to never have one leader in the band in hopes to avoid any future eat the baby power struggles. That's when SOT started the policy of equal leadership with only one rule: "There Will Be No Leader" Then the newly united SOT went out to find a second guitarist to aid in the writing direction. The actual band name “STONE OF TEAR” came prior to finding SOT's second guitarist and songwriter Cliff Anderson. Cliff the KILLER Metal Edge Player joined SOT in and about the month of Jan. 2008. Till then SOT had pushed forward songs like Same Damn Thing "Written by: Marc Houston" / Crucifier "Written by: Mike Rosen & Marc Houston" / How Does It Feel "Written by: Marc Houston" & Piece It "Written by: Jeff Westbrook, Joey McHugh & Marc Houston" Plus with Cliff's arrival new influences and songs like Reasons & My Mistake "Now Called One More Day" took form. Then Cliff Anderson left the band in and about June of 2008 to start Seeds Of Hate which is a great Sonoma County band on its way up. So after Cliff left, SOT dug in with the current set list to accommodate the desire to make the summer stage. Karl Granneman started with SOT only a week or so prior to Cliff's leaving an with Cliff gone. Which means Jeff, Joe, Marc & Karl became the final members of the band called: ~ STONE OF TEAR ~ Then with SOT's new vocalist and the current tunes in hand, from past to present. SOT started booking gigs. And the rest is History.
Stone Of Tear would like to say that this has all been a Fantastic Journey. From the first days with Joe, Jeff, Marc and Cliff to the last days with Karl. The final members of STONE OF TEAR.
An ORIGINAL ROCK BAND!

STONE OF TEAR:

~ The city of Tear is dominated by the Stone of Tear, which towers above the city like a small mountain. It is believed to be the oldest stronghold (and oldest surviving structure) of mankind, erected shortly after the Breaking of the World. ~

~ It was built by Aes Sedai using the One Power, Earth, Air, and Fire fusing stones together without joint or mortar. ~

~ Deep within the Stone is the Heart of the Stone. This is where the crystal sword Callandor was kept, waiting for the Dragon Reborn to claim it. None except the High Lords were allowed to enter the Heart, and even they rarely do so: four times a year for the Rite of Guarding there, and at infrequent intervals to raise Lords of the Land to the office of High Lord. ~

~ Indeed, if the High Lords could manage to forget that the Heart of the Stone and Callandor existed, they undoubtedly would: Tairens of all classes have an avowed fear of anything to do with the One Power. ~
This is due partly to the fact that it is prophesied that the Stone of Tear will never fall until the Dragon has been Reborn. The High Lords like to think that by protecting Callandor, they are protecting the world from the Dragon Reborn. ~
