“Depressed Mode” video, directed by James Singleton The band released a pair of tracks in the lead-up to today’s release, announcing the album with the release of “Third Shot,” a song Consequence praised for combining “the band’s signature spaced-out textures and atmospherics with prog flourishes,” and “Love Weapon,” which Metal Express Radio said “showcases remarkable versatility” and “anchors the album’s emotional core.” Between 2022’s critically acclaimed Radiant Bloom and the newly released Stargod, Astronoid experienced professional highs and personal lows. The band were personally invited by Tom DeLonge to open on blink-182’s stadium tour, enjoyed millions of streams, and embarked on worldwide tours. At the same time, they faced profound personal loss with the passing of Casey Aylward’s mom, one of the band members’ most ardent champions, and shortly after, Brett’s mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly. “It was a tumultuous season. A lot of fans asked, ‘Where did Astronoid go?’ Well, we were dealing with life,” Brett says, before expressing his hopes for the new album. “Stargod is about our love for music. I can’t believe it’s taken us to where we are, and I wish the people who we’ve lost were here to see what we’ve done.” Stargod can be streamed now: https://go.mhe.fm/astronoid_stargod. |
