Astral Kompakt – Goldader 2024


Astral Kompakt carefully dissect the psych metal blueprint laid out by Sleep and Electric Wizard, slowing it down, spacing it out and abstracting its essence. Creating a new conversation in which heaviness is not a goal but a means to an end, Goldader, out November 22 via Tonzonen Records, perfects the art of making complexity comprehensible and sonic violence sophisticated.

Stoner rock leans heavily on its psychedelic imagery and lyrics for its allure, leaving a small number of artists capable of writing captivating instrumental music that still fits the bill. Where other acts turn to humorous tropes or excessive layers of fuzz, Germany-based instrumental outfit Astral Kompakt resort to reducing things to a minimum, keeping a tight formation as a trio. W

Galahad – Galahad PROG Sampler (Compilation) (2024)


Galahad, stalwarts of the UK underground ‘PROG’ scene, have been ploughing their own particular musical furrow since the mid-1980s, ever evolving, mutating and absorbing different influences and still sounding as fresh as ever on recent releases.

This sampler collection contains some familiar songs, a few ‘deep cuts’ plus various alternative versions and the odd demo which covers almost forty years of Galahad music, in all its forms, from the first demo recorded in October 1985 all the way up to the most recent opus ‘The Long Goodbye’ which was released in October 2023 to much critical acclaim.
