"STANDOFF" to me is about betrayal, defiance, and reclaiming power. Reflecting on a chaotic relationship where trust was shattered and where manipulation ran deep. It’s about once being vulnerable and unsure and then eventually rising up, standing firm and refusing to be controlled or broken any longer.
The repeated confrontational refrain — “come and get a piece of me” — is a bold challenge to the betrayer, turning pain into strength. The song builds from confusion and heartbreak into full-blown resistance, ending in a decisive emotional and personal standoff. - Corey James
Rising from the shadows of Baltimore’s underground, CARBONSTONE is the sonic embodiment of raw emotion, industrial grit, and modern aggression. Fusing elements of nu-metal, industrial rock, and electronic chaos, the band delivers a sound that’s as brutally honest as it is addictively infectious. Think pounding grooves, razor-edged riffs, and a voice that shifts from melodic sorrow to throat-tearing rage in a heartbeat.
Led by the relentless vision of frontman Corey James, CARBONSTONE is a resurrection story forged in trauma, redemption, and absolute defiance. After years of silence, the band roared back to life—stronger, darker, and more venomous than ever.
Their rebirth was carved into the steel of their breakout album “Dark Matter”—a dark, cinematic odyssey produced by acclaimed engineer Tony Correlli (Deep End Studio), whose signature production sharpened the band’s sound into a weapon. The album tore through expectations, racking up over 1 million streams and igniting a loyal cult following of fans who crave music with teeth
CARBONSTONE'S latest evolution sees collaborations with heavy-hitters like
Jonny Santos of Spineshank, pushing their sound into even more volatile territory. Whether it’s the adrenaline-soaked “Standoff” or the brooding menace of earlier tracks like “AM Trauma”, Carbonstone isn’t just making music—they’re setting the fuse to explode the status quo.
This isn’t just a band. It’s a war cry.
Carbonstone is here to burn it down and build something real from the ashes.
Welcome to the uprising.
