To maintain afro heavy metal in the most brutal way and build a massive base of head-bangers in the country.

STANE was born in mid 2005 and staged its first ever show in Nosey Road club, Lobatse in Oct 2005, along Stealth. They then staged with Metal Orizon, Wrust and Vitrified in December the same year. The band started playing as a four (4) piece band (Slayar, T’X, Ace and Stranjar), without E-Force, who was engaged by duties in UK since 2004. But from its formation (around 2003), E-Force has been one of the founding members of the band. Throughout the years, STANE has played alongside a number of local bands (Metal Orizon, Crackdust, Nosey Road, Wrust, Vitrified, Nodd, Stealth, etc) and a few exotic bands (Rhutz, Architecture Of Aggression).

The return of E-Foce from the UK in 2008 has boosted the soloing part of the band and has made the band tighter. In 2009, STANE recorded their first demo album of five (5) tracks, entitled Maintainers Of Brutality. In October 2010, STANE recorded a live gig video called ‘Last Breath Madness Metal Festival’. The DVD based on this recording was then released in March 2011, titled ‘STANE – Live at GCC’. STANE went through a restructuring exercise in mid 2011 and this saw the band remain as a four-piece band, downgrading from five-piece.

In march 2013 the band released their new album titled Human Error.
