Their Dogs Were Astronauts is a progressive Metal and Djent  band project from Austria which was founded in 2014.
 
The music of the two brothers Denis and Leonard Roth, who both study music, focuses on riff heavy instrumental music seasoned with catchy melodies. With the use of 7- and 8-string guitars they explore all the possibilities that these extended range instruments offer. 
The project is musically influenced by many different styles, ranging from jazz to fusion to some really well known bands in the scene such as "Animals As Leaders", "TesseracT", "Periphery" and many more.

Up to now, the two brothers released 2 full length albums called "In Touch" and "Earthkeeper" which were received very well by the progressive metal community and some major promotion sites on the internet (It Djents, Got Djent, Core Community, ...) 
They also released 2 EPs which were quite succesful too.
