Colours (Stone album)

Colours is the third album by Finnish thrash metal band Stone, released in 1990. This is their first album with Nirri Niiranen, replacing original guitarist Jiri Jalkanen, who had been fired from the band just before the recording sessions started.[1] Colours is considered to be more technical and experimental than Stone's first two albums, continuing the elements of progressive that the band had used on its predecessor No Anaesthesia!, and featuring more complexity and mid-paced tempos, as well as longer songs in length.[1][2] It was remastered and re-issued by Megamania in 2003. The Japanese version had a redder pigment used on the album cover.[3] An EP was released for the album track "Empty Suit".
