Trauma. Addiction. Heartache. Depression. Recovery. Sobriety.
Make no bones about it. Mark Steiner sure doesn’t.

The fact that this once decadent Norwegian-American ruffian has been clean and sober since April 2021 has, almost ironically, resulted in the successful development of this new album, Black Hole.

This is Steiner’s first full-length release since the album Saudade was first launched back in November, 2014, and features legendary drummer Ted Parsons (Prong, ex-Swans, Killing Joke, Jesu, Metallic Taste of Blood, Keith Levine), bassist Leon Muraglia (Radio 9, Salvatore) and guitarist Romek Paluch-Edwards, along with additional special guests, including Norwegian singers Ingunn Holmen and Line Saus, Czech violinist Pavel Cingl, and long-term Danish wingman Thomas Borge.

Black Hole, both as a song and as an album title, is a journey where intersecting dark, psychically tortured souls have clambered up from the abyss into a bizzare post-pandemic world riddled with struggle. 

These mastered tracks, produced and mixed by Leon Muraglia and Mark Steiner, have just experienced a final transformation in the hands of mastering magician Nick Terry.

Where these songs end up before they inevitably hit the global market is anybody’s guess at the moment, but for now you are presented with the opportunity to give them all a listen…

Infected Bubblegum  (Horrordub)

Reminiscent of Soul Whirling Somewhere and Flying Saucer Attack
Atmospheres of ache, drift, and suspended presence

My first song made public with my own vocals.
This is the first and now mastered version.
A second version appears on the Projekt Records compilation: Discovery One.

Lyrics:
Waiting for the rain…
I see the way it is, all the ways it is…
I see how it’s supposed to be… I see right in front of me…
Waiting for the same, to wash this all away…

Waiting For The Rain

Ex Astris is a Norwegian electronic duo formed in 2024. Members are Lene Vinje and Henriette Marie Brattberg from Lillehammer and Fredrikstad

 Lene Vinje is a composer and  multi instrumentalist ( synthesizer, guitar ,bass , tounge drum and vocal)   who has a background from indie bands such as Sofi Lofi  and  Izakaya Heartbeat.

Lene Vinjes musical journey began in musical kindergarten,  and getting a dance music program at age 14 lay grounds for interest in electronic music.  After playing guitar and bass for many years she met Henriette Marie Brattberg (vocals, djembe and spiritual inspiration) they formed an art and music project called  Protostar7. 
Their vision for this project was to be reminded of how we are a part of everything , the aether. As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul. 
And to echo sounds from the universe of feelings within
^
They changed the music project to Ex Astris. Ambient album coming soon on Distant Gaze Records

Genre: Electronic, Goa trance , Ambient ,Stargaze , dance , techno, dream pop
Spacewave, tribal , downtempo, chill out

The snail's progression, following the spiral, symbolizes the idea that spiritual growth occurs one step at a time. Snails carry their homes with them, making their shells a symbol of resilience. This can remind individuals to find strength and security within themselves, no matter where their life journey takes them.

Know Your Powers

Your words shape reality. They can wound or heal, destroy or build. Speak with intention, for every vibration carries into the unseen.


So know your powers. Refine them. Govern them.
For the person who rules themselves is greater than the one who rules empires.
