Made In Oss.

Made In Oss is the third album of Astrosoniq. If you are familiar with Astrosoniq, then you know what to expect: A fine combination of Psychedelic, Space Stoner and Hard Rock. If you're not so familiar with Astrosoniq, get familiarized! Enjoy!

"Astrosoniq brings an incredible mix of styles so natural, so full of power and emotion. Their great samples and musical interludes glue it all together into one big sonic trip."
(From Daredevil Magazine)

"Made in Oss is Astrosoniq's best album so far and their most cohesive. This is earthshaking spacerock! If you dig Hawkwind with some extra Motorhead-flavor with a symphonic edge that has hints of Meddle-era Pink Floyd, then you're in for a real treat."

Here It Is!

I was waiting a long time for this one. Astrosoniq's new album Quadrant is awesome. I don't want to spill more words on this one. Check it out, enjoy and then... BUY IT! (And tell me what you think!)

Every Dutch stoner-rocker knows this band: Astrosoniq. I had the honour of witnessing their first show in a long time recently, and I was blown away by the sheer quality of this act. Now they have released their new record Quadrant, the follow up to their 2006 release Speeder People. And let me tell you, it is mighty good stuff!

I have to honestly admit that this is the first actual Astrosoniq release I hear, but damn has it convinced me! This record is so well produced, arranged and played, it’s almost out of this world, or as you might say, from out space. These guys take elements of classic rock, stoner, grunge, psychedelics, industrial, metal, country and avant-garde and mould it into a giant monolithic whole, topped with brilliant guitar solos. It’s like stepping into a wormhole into another dimension of rock music. And even better, every time I play it, it gets better and better! A true masterpiece indeed.

Every song on Quadrant has a face of its own, making every song a small trip in a whole of a giant space odyssey. This stuff goes right from Pink Floyd to Orange Goblin to Alice In Chains to Saint Vitus and back without breaking a sweat. And to make it even more interesting, you can listen to the track ‘Zero’, which also features a guest appearance by the band ZEUS (with that Lama guy Jeroen van Koningsbrugge) on both the left and right channel of your stereo individually as well as together. The finishing touch is found in a cover version of the Dutch noise band T-Nailed’s ‘Bored’.

Conclusion: a fucking brilliant record with a nomination for my personal yearlist! If you dig the band, or even remotely dig one of the styles they play, make yourself a happy man and check Quadrant out asap!

Awaiting Their New Album.

I've heard some rumours that Astrosoniq will release a new album before the end of this year. Until that time I pleasure you with their last album from 2006, Speeder People. This album is awesome (Just as their other recordings). If you got the chance to catch them life... Do!
They perform very well on stage.

"Another overwhelming album from these underestimated Dutch guys. Astrosoniq from Oss do it again with a new album containing a fresh whirlwind of psychedelic stoner. An album filled with a mix of heavy and dark driving spacey themes. Courage and diversity cannot be denied. They come closer than ever to icons Kyuss and Monster Magnet, in combination with musical side-steps towards fusion and the use of nicely found samples. The direct sound of Speeder People puts down a wall of sound which doesn’t end up being a mess. Maybe this time they get the acknowledgement they deserve?"
