ASTRONOID - AIR (CD)

Astronoid. The astronomically-themed 'dream thrash' Boston five-piece twists through intense tremolo-picked galaxies, condensing soundscapes from a wide variety of artists - Alcest, Devin Townsend, deafheaven, Dragonforce - to a single and very unique core. With two acclaimed EPs under their belt, the band has been hard at work on their debut album for more than two years. The record considerably ups the ante on the band's previous material, bringing in a gloss of soaring major key atmospheres alongside constant, intense, galactic shredding - eliciting something so familiar yet so unique. The record is in fact so accessible, yet like nothing ever heard before. The band also features on a track on The Uncanny Valley - highly-awaited fourth album of darksynth artist Perturbator. Ultra high-quality CD in 6-panel digipack.
