“Love Weapon (Live at Blackheart Sound)” video, directed by James Singleton Oct. 23, 2025 – BOSTON – Astronoid release “Love Weapon” (https://youtu.be/yTsLnMuWBPs), the second single from their eagerly-awaited new album, Stargod, arriving Nov. 7 via 3DOT Recordings. The track arrives with an intimate performance video featuring the band at Blackheart Sound, a New England recording studio housed in a historic mill building. “I love this song because I feel like it has a subtle nod to our past while being something completely different,” explains Brett Boland. “’Love Weapon’ has a unique dance vibe that I love and has great interplay between the guitars and synthesizers. There is also an absolute ripper of a solo by Casey. The song is about my unending love and support for my wife, and how you never quite have control of what happens in life. Eventually, you need to stop dwelling on the past and focus on what’s ahead.” Astronoid announced Stargod earlier this month with the release of the track “Third Shot.” Consequence praised the song for combining “the band’s signature spaced-out textures and atmospherics with prog flourishes,” while Vice described it as “equal parts ‘80s rock and 2000s post-prog,” and Revolver astutely noted that it’s “a sky-scraping contemplation on loss and hope.” Between 2022’s critically acclaimed Radiant Bloom and the upcoming 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 champion, and shortly after, Brett’s mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly as well. “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 pre-saved now: https://go.mhe.fm/astronoid_stargod. |
