frankwurst the only negative thing there is the shortness of the album. Each song has it's special something that makes you hum or groove along, and listening to the whole stuff is an uttermost feel of lavish well-being - true craftsmanship. Favorite track: Mr. Strange.

Marcin Wielewski I bought lp to take off the cover, and hang it in my room, because it's amazing. Favorite track: Wolf & Snake.

Maxime Hoek By the Gods, which to pick? Pale Moon? Silver and Gold? Them Calling? the entire album is a masterpiece. The only downside? its just over 30 minutes. But those 30 minutes are nothing short of brilliance... Favorite track: Pale Moon.

about

For well over a decade, Örebro’s Asteroid has served as one of the leading lights in the heavy psych community. With a sound firmly rooted in the hard-hitting field of stoner rock, since their very first demo in 2004 the trio has constantly evolved, taking inspiration from American & British blues and Swedish folk music, while always finding something new to bring to the table.

Made up of guitarist Robin Hirse, bass player Johannes Nilsson and recent addition Jimmi Kohlscheen on drums, Asteroid trade harmonious vibes and melodious riffs with all who listen. Treading the same murky waters found in some of the more menacing moments of Led Zeppelin’s back catalogue, combined with their love for the tripped-out prog of Pink Floyd and raw energy of Howlin’ Wolf, Asteroid leave no rock unturned.

”It’s got the murky darkness of the more menacing Zeppelin songs, the spaciness of Floyd’s cosmic tracks, and the bluesiness of Howlin’ Wolf- not to mention the incredible harmonies that tie everything together and keep you coming back for more.” - AMAZON

Having released a split record in 2006, two full-length albums with 2007’s Asteroid and the 2009 follow-up Asteroid II, and a 7” in 2012, after extensive back to back tours which saw the band average over a hundred shows a year they decided to take a break in 2013. However, at the end of last year the band finally decided that break was over. Performing a number of gigs in early 2016, including a pre-sold out show in Athens in February and appearances at DesertFest London and Berlin in April, the band’s full attention now turns to the release of the highly anticipated III. The third instalment in Asteroid’s spectacular ascendancy.

I mean this as a high compliment - it’s the only band that’s come close to matching King Buffalo for sound, and I don’t think my collection will be complete until I have all their records. potaytoes
