FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SÖNUS Unleashes “Sisyphus Stomp” OUT NOW — A Relentless Anthem of Struggle and Defiance

Release Date: April 24, 2026

Rising heavy metal force SÖNUS returns with “Sisyphus Stomp,” a crushing new single taken from their forthcoming full-length album Planes of Torment .

Blending the raw punch of classic hard rock with the unrelenting weight of traditional heavy metal, “Sisyphus Stomp” channels the spirit of legends like AC/DC, Motörhead, and Judas Priest while pushing it into a modern, no-nonsense sonic attack. Recorded live in the studio, the track captures a band locked in, loud, and fully dialed in with zero polish holding it back.

This is more than just a heavy anthem. “Sisyphus Stomp” hits like a rallying cry for anyone stuck in the grind. Drawing from ancient mythology, the song reflects the endless cycle of struggle in modern life, calling out burnout, inequality, political decay, and nonstop conflict. The message is simple and unshaken: the climb never ends, you just decide whether you keep pushing or fold.

Following the success of their 2022 Doom Charts–topping release Usurper of the Universe , SÖNUS mastermind David Wachsman went through a stretch of personal and creative upheaval. What came out the other side was sharper, heavier, and more focused than ever. That evolution now drives Planes of Torment , an album built over years of persistence, pressure, and survival.

The current lineup features:

David Wachsman — Lead/Backing Vocals, Lead/Rhythm Guitars, Synths, Lyrics/Arrangements

Dave Reno — Bass, Backing Vocals

Colin Jaramillo — Drums, Backing Vocals

Additional contributions include Mike Gorman on rhythm guitar and Will Harper on flute (featured on the album track “Scorpio” ).

Engineered and recorded live to preserve its raw energy, Planes of Torment was tracked by Adam Reed at Reed’s Recordings in Campbell, California. The album was mixed by Dave Reno at Fuzzy Wizard Studios and mastered by Matt “Mojo” Denton at Ragged Birds Music.

“Sisyphus Stomp” is out now and serves as a direct hit from what is shaping up to be a defining heavy metal statement from a band doing it the old way: loud, honest, and relentless.

Planes of Torment is coming. The climb has already started.
