T-minus 20 seconds and counting, guidance is internal, ignition sequence start, all engines running, prepare for liftoff.
After a massive few years solidifying themselves as one of Australia’s most revered heavy bands, Astrodeath are primed, loaded, and ready to blast off on their INTERGALACTIC RIPSTATION TOUR.
The monstrous, sci-fi, stoner metal duo have toured relentlessly since 2019, most recently a full-scale, coast-to-coast, national tour in support of their latest album “Vol.2”, followed by a national tour supporting UK stoner heavyweights, Orange Goblin.
On their quest to bring sonic mayhem to audiences all over Australia, Astrodeath have made appearances at events such as Thrashville, Blacken, Flippin’ the Bird, Mojo Burning, Froth and Fury Festival, Aftermath and more, as well as supporting bands such as Orange Goblin, Suicidal Tendencies, 1000mods, Nick Oliveri and King Parrot. The band have been featured regularly on Triple J’s The Racket along with stellar reviews by rock/metal/stoner blogs worldwide.
“We’re coming back around again and we’re bringing our new buddies Spacejunk along for the ride. We know the cost of living is stupid right now, so we’ve made a decision to make these shows as cheap as we possibly can. We’re playing a lot of regional towns and a lot of smaller venues on this run so get your tickets early.”
Not only are Astrodeath causing an absolute stir in Australia, but their infectious grooves are catching on internationally, with a signing to Europe’s leading boutique stoner label Heavy Psych Sounds, a tour to the continent is slated for 2025. A further journey to the US for more festivals and touring is already in the works, with the band signing on with North American touring giants Tone Deaf Touring.
After completing their national voyage alongside UK stoner rockers Orange Goblin, the Astrodeath boys are bouncing straight back into the saddle and are excited to bring Melbourne touring partner Spacejunk along for the ride, smashing out 12 shows up and down the East Coast this July/August.
“We want to sincerely thank the fans who continually support the local scene. We see you, if not for you we would not be able to do tours like these. Please keep it up. Keep going to see all the gigs and keep supporting your local scenes because they need you right now. We’ll see you on the road, we’ll see you in the pit. Full rip! Don’t be strangers! Massive love!”
Astrodeath are a band on a mission and will stop at nothing to reach their destination or their destruction… in this galaxy or the next. They’ve taken a giant evolutionary step and will venture the east coast of Australia this winter alongside fellow Melburnian galactic luminaries Spacejunk in support of their most recent epic release “Vol.2” (Heavy Psych Records/Tuff Cuff Records).
