The Second Coming Of Heavy Vol. 2

Supervoid - Olympus

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.
 
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.

In support of III, which will receive an official release on 11th November 2016 via Fuzzorama Records, Asteroid take to the road for an extensive European tour starting this month. For the full list of dates see below.

ASTEROID - 'Pale Moon' (Fuzzorama Records)

Lyrics:
My life´s floating down into this cosmic sea
I´ve been blinded by the sun and the stars that shined for me
I never made it right, when distorted thoughts were pushing me
I´ve been a rambling mind, always sought never seen
Now you made me see, that all the lights are falling
Down on you, down on me
Having you by my side, I have learned to believe
That freedom of the mind will erase all my agony
Came from the mountains of madness
To swim these swirling seas of love
Free from delusion and sadness
The freedom of life / the freedom of love
Don´t be afraid of death she said
And dance into this spiral of a life with me
Just take my hand and let it be real
And you will see your life has been really mean
Now just let it be
Come let freedom ring my friend
I see the lights are falling down on you and on me
Just let it be real
We swam the magic ocean, many times
We´ve seen the moon descent
While we crossed the rainbow twice
So come take my hand now and be mine
Let it be, come take a ride with me
Come take a ride with me babe, come closer now
We´re on a long distance trip right into the eternal mind
Don´t you slip away now...
