Stone Fiction was born in Timisoara, Romania in December 2000. The band was initially composed of members from other local Bands (Dian, SE.DO.LA., Fragil, Radical din Val, Vals Hedone, Blame, Era Ticalosilor). Starting members of the band were Sergiu Popovici (guitar, vocals) and Alin Rusu (drums) whom both started various projects, most important being SE.DO.LA. We could say that Stone Fiction is the offspring of SE.DO.LA. just after Radical din Val broke apart and after the departure of Valentin Popescu (guitar) to join Implant pentru Refuz.
The new guitar player for the band became Adrian Coacaza Ulmeanu (formerly Era Ticalosilor) ergo Sergiu switched to vocals. During this time, Stone Fiction changed its name to Stone Fixion, event marked by the replacement of Dorian Petrov (bass) with Tudor Marisescu (ex-Blame).A short time after some rehersals, the first tracks showed up, followed by the first gigs in local clubs and open-air festivals. Just after a few months, the band recorded its first material: the e.p. entitled FIXION.
After the recordings, the band parted from Adrian because of musical misunderstandings.
Again, after a period of testing new guitar players and after a brief collaboration with Radutoiu Razvan, the band members continued to follow its trio-set course (Sergiu, Alin and Tudor).The music of Stone Fixion is a combination of 70s rocknroll, alternative (grunge), stoner, doom and 90s metal influences (hardcore, crossover). The three tracks on the e.p. have each a different sound: Morning Grief alternative/grunge, Supernatural Ride (Fire Illusion) classic rock with metal and a twist of psychedelia, and Real purely stonerdoom (Ozzys Black Sabbath). Some of the great bands that influenced Stone Fixions musical-sincerity are Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Monster Magnet, Black Sabbath, Tool, Grand Funk Railroad, Jimi Hendrix, Fu Manchu, Iggy and the Stooges and many more.The bands newest songs reveal a different face of Stone Fixion, a new way of expressing what has always been there. This is definitely a change but a natural one. It represents the bands new concept and way of musical perception. The lyrics are based on day-to-day experiences, issues and opinions concerning everything that surrounds us and beyond.In January 2003, Tudor is forced to interrupt his performance in the band, being called in the army. Therefore the recording for Stagnant, the debut album, had to be made with the help of Pista Czifrak (bass), who became a session member. Also, half of the tracks on the album are having Ovidiu Bulbuc Takacz on vocals.
At the same time the band played a few gigs with Iancu Cosmin on vocals. Stagnant was recorded in the Mosquito studio, Timisoara between September and October 2003 with the help of Mirel Cumpanas.Starting from May 2005 till beginning of 2007, the new vocalist was Daniel Klepsy Neagoe.december 2007
