Tempe’s Sunbar was anything but still the other weekend. The Stoned To Death tour rolled in like a stormcloud, leaving nothing untouched. A joint force between rising bass phenoms Stoned Level and MUERTE, the night was a meticulously executed assault on the senses.
Music and Vibes All Around
From the moment doors opened, the venue buzzed with anticipation. Fans showed out in full force, many rocking the newest Stoned to Death jersey collab. The sleek, black-and-red design echoed the tour’s unique aesthetic and added a layer of unity in the pit. The night kicked off with Wrld Cyphr, who wasted no time setting the pace with a blistering, high-octane set. His aggressive sound and razor-cut mixing snapped the room to attention, pulling early arrivals straight to the rail.
Next up was HAMRO, and boy, did he throw down. His set was an explosive showcase of surgical mixing and heavy low-end madness. Just when the crowd thought they had him figured out, he brought out Arizona’s own rising star Ophion for a surprise back-to-back that sent shockwaves through the pit. Two rising heavyweights on one stage, feeding off the crowd’s raw energy.
Stoned Level x MUERTE
Stoned Level and MUERTE took the stage together, delivering a back-to-back set that felt more like an exorcism than a performance. They unleashed a flood of unreleased collabs, flips, and twisted edits that had fans in a frenzy. One standout moment? A brutal mashup of A Day to Remember’s “The Downfall of Us All” with the high-impact chaos of Hedex’s “BADADAN.”
What made the hit even harder is the intention behind it. Before the show, I got the chance to sit down with the boys and talk about the Stoned To Death project. MUERTE shared how he created the visuals himself, wanting to add that extra level of detail that made the experience fully immersive. MUERTE’s hand-drawn visuals weren’t just background—they were the skin of that world.
Both MUERTE and Stoned Level expressed a desire to step outside the boundaries of their individual brands. They wanted to create something new—something that fused their styles without diluting either one. It was clear the project came from a place of mutual respect and shared vision. Together, they’ve crafted an experience that feels dangerous, deliberate, and entirely their own.
While the tour has already come to a close, the energy behind it is far from over. Be sure to follow both MUERTE and Stoned Level on social media so you never miss an important update—or the next time they decide to bring the madness back to life.
