Astralnaut

Noise Annoys by David Roy! A fantastic Astralnaut album review in todays Irish News thanks a million David for the support! There's nothing more satisfying that seeing your name in print and all the lads plus Kayleigh - Music got a mention. After years of hard work it's great to see our new album getting such fine press. Get yourself todays paper and then head over to astralnaut.bandcamp.com to hear some of the "Nod-fodder" for yourselves! 🤘

Cheers to Phil and Adrian for shout out plus the thoughts on the album! We're glad it's well received, we can't wait to see those end of year album lists! And yes lads, to answer your question, we've already got new material in the works!

I was joined by Adrian Williams of Metal Messiah Radio / Conjurings From The Hellfire Club/Screams From The Metal Crypt for the fourth roundup of May 2024.
Featured are: Black Shuck - Coroza - Symbiotic Tomorrow - Astralnaut - Chiral - Mine Road - Exhalers - Expedition - Draugrath - VIRCOLAC - Mr Pink and Von Loop.
Check it out below.

🤯We're overwhelmed with the response to our new album!🤯 We spent months/years writing and honing the music but we wouldn't be here today without help...

Our undying gratitude to James Wilson Studio 2 Recording/rehearsals
Not only for the recording but for the rehearsal/creative space that allows us to do what we do. When it came to recording and mixing, hours were spent and the album wouldn't sound as good without James's hard work and expertise.

Thank you to our guest vocalist, Kayleigh - Music on track 2. Adrift. Who was able to put her own creative flair into the song and push beyond what we had envisaged. Kayleigh was our first choice, listening to the track you know why. Amazing work Kayleigh, we can't thank you enough for your time, effort and talent! A pleasure to work with you.

We'd like to thank all band members, old and new, who jammed these songs as they were in formation. We play simply for the love of the music but meeting musical comrades along the way is a happy biproduct.

Thanks also to our wives, partners, families and friends who support us tirelessly in our tinnitus inducing passions!

Lastly, thank you to all the Astralnaut fans and everyone who's checked out the new album so far! We appreciate all the downloads, streams and shares!

Love & Respect, The Band;
Gaz, Jon, Tony, Glenn & Thomas

Many thanks to Steve @ Outlaws Of The Sun for this excellent album review!

“Astralnaut explore their raw-sounding Doom/Stoner Metal grooves with sheer bravado and Hard Rock guitar shredding with a deep sense of classic HEAVY METAL dominance with a fun destructive sound all at the same time - Excellent and Highly Recommended.”

First review in and We’ll take that with a big stick - well chuffed! 🤘

Thanks Marc Uber Rock the metal Monk! And Carolyn for the great pictures! Another excellent review from our MttM final!

"the first knights into battle in tonight’s arena are Armagh antagonists Astralnaut. And they certainly set the bar high right from the off with their taut and tense brand of dense doom-infused stoner groove, delivered with their usual verve and vivacity, especially on the part of energetic frontman Thomas, who spits and snarls his vocal invocations over the top of some of the heftiest riffage this side of New Orleans."

Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses NI Grand Final - Belfast, Voodoo - 10 May 2024 - Über Röck This year's Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses competition has officially entered the final straight, as Monk and DQ report from last weekend's opening salvo in Belfast...

Cheers to Mark McGrogan for the great review and pictures of Friday nights final!

"As always a blistering set, [From Astralnaut], with such a crazy hefty sound being pumped out from the stage, it’s hard not to be impressed. The vocals are strong and keep up with the wall of distortion and pummelling backline. A seriously strong start to the night!"
Head over to Rock 'N' Load to check it out!

Glenn absolutely smashed it in the studio! The foundations have been layed for the next installment! We went in expecting to get half the songs down but thanks to some rhythmic mastery and the absolute professionalism of James we now have the drums recorded for 9 songs! We'll be recording the rest over the next few weeks.🤘🤘

Another anniversary today... Our debut Back to the Bog 10 years old today!
