Astronoid is a five-piece band from Boston, MA with influences ranging from Devin Townsend and Mew to Alcest and Cynic. Their first full length album, being released by Blood Music in 2016, is part of an evolving experience that complements their two acclaimed EP’s from 2012-13, “Stargazer” and “November”. The driving rhythms, subtle time signatures and soaring vocal harmonies combine to create an auditory cloud to lift you into the ether. There’s always something new to discover hidden within the dense layers of thrashy guitar riffs and euphoric vocals. Lyrically, the record conveys a disillusioned and hopeful view of the world as a whole.

We are a progressive metal band from Chicago, IL, and have been making albums since 2011. Founded by Austin Peters (guitar), the current line-up consists of Phil Kalas (bass), Ken Stebliy (guitar), Luke Angle (drums) and Kyle Kunkler (synths). Our newest record, The Return of Inertia 2.0, is a follow up to our 2021 release (A Vast Field of Silence) and takes the listener on an exciting rediscovery of the music that put our band on the map. Beyond releasing records, we also stream on Twitch, run a Discord dedicated to music discovery and production, and create tone and producer packs for guitarists and producers on Gumroad.
