GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT

From the fertile grounds of Belgium, AUFHEBUNG is the next post-metal trailblazer in the stream of great heavy bands from the small country that continue to astonish crowds everywhere. Lauded by all who attended their concerts, the band's live performance is an experience, supplementing steamroller heaviness with brittle moments of shimmering calm in a precise unfolding.

GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT has mesmerized audiences worldwide with their distinctive sonic tapestry both in dynamic live performances and through their recorded works. Amidst their perpetual whirlwind of touring, the Wicklow-based trio emerges once more with a freshly crafted studio album, released on September 6th, 2024, courtesy of Napalm Records! From psych- to excellent krautrock trips, driving rhythms by drummer Lloyd Hanney and collaborations with guest musicians, including Dara O'Brien, Jo Quail and Sean Coleman further enrich the album's sonic space incorporating elements such as sitar, cello, zither, shamanic drums, bowed psaltery, chimes and tanpura. Featuring artwork by the internationally renowned Irish artist David Rooney and mastered by Europe's foremost mastering engineer Streaky, GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT achieves remarkable heights with their latest Progressive, Psychedelic, Instrumental Post-rock opus, "Embers"!
