ASTROSAUR share new single & video 'Black Hole Earth' from the upcoming album 'Portals' out November 18

Norwegian power trio ASTROSAUR, led by former Leprous and Ihsahn session guitarist Eirik Kråkenes, employ the riff as their principal mode of transportation for their third album Portals. The first single is a masterclass in soaring post-rock guitars offsetting a glorious main theme against a blistering desert rock riff. Like a starship phasing in and out of hyperspace, Black Hole Earth alternates between crushing the guts in your bowels and showing you the most marvellous views of deep space.

Somewhere between the late 1990s and the early 2010s, the rif largely disappeared from mainstream rock & pop. Its transformative power – the rif as a means to transport the listener into another dimension – became an art cherished only in the underground of rock and metal. One of the strong proponents of that transformative power is ASTROSAUR, an overlooked gem in the international heavy psyche rock and post- metal scene. 

The Norwegian power trio has been employing the rif as their principal mode of transport since their 2017 debut album Fade In // Space Out. Now, with the release of their third album Portals, ASTROSAUR are sounding more expansive and convincing than ever, delivering an intuitive exploration of the infnite powered by soaring guitars and surging grooves.
