Astrakhan (2016)

Vancouver, BC

Astrakhan painstakingly construct their epic songs by building tight riff upon tight riff. Plowing forward to create detail-soaked arrangements tipping into ‘80s and ‘90s classic heavy metal, they touch on stoner metal, doom and even some psych along the way. The two vocalists wail at and with one another, pulling at brawny guitars and heavy drums with firm execution. Their latest album also features killer trippy artwork to boot.
