ASTRAL KOMPAKT carefully dissect the psych-metal blueprint of Sleep and Electric Wizard by slowing it down, differentiating it and abstracting its essence. Goldader perfects the art of making complexity and sonic brutality seem sophisticated. With GOLDADER you create a new conversation in which heaviness is not a goal, but a means to an end.
Stoner rock relies heavily on its psychedelic imagery and lyrics to create its appeal, so there are few artists capable of writing captivating instrumental music that still fits into the genre.
Where other acts resort to humorous clichés or excessive fuzz layers, the Cologne-based instrumental trio ASTRAL KOMPAKT keeps things tight and to a minimum. With their debut album Goldader they have perfected their art, made it comprehensible and sophisticated.
