On working with Upon Stone, Brian Fair commented:

“I was very stoked when the guys in Upon Stone asked me to hop on a track with them! They have a sound that is near and dear to my heart, aggressive and thrashy metal with just the perfect mix of melody. ‘Paradise Failed’ is a rager of a song that has a rawness and darkness that I love. The production and guitar tone giver it an edge that rips right into you like a shark bite. Grab a copy of ‘Dead Mother Moon’ and bang your fucking head!”

Joined by guitarist Gage Goss, the band came tor full fruition in 2021 with the EP, ‘Where Wild Sorrows Grow’, released on Creator Destructor.
