Alternative heavy psych rock,

One Ep and two albums were released via Raging Planet: EP “Planet Mantra” in 2015, LP “Stellar Drone” in 2017, LP “Helix Nebula” in 2020, with recognized merits from the national and international underground press and was also worthy of excellent reviews.
The band will release another full record in 2024 and we can share also that the band will release one single on March 20.
What can people expect from your music?
People can expect one authentic expression of our artistic personalities through this kind of heavy music. We always aim to express content that can raise awareness about mental health topics and human development.
Earth Drive is characterized by a visceral and cathartic heavy sound.
In addition to its power and volume, the band has a strong atmospheric component with hypnotic and meditative textures adorned by a charismatic, engaging, deep and captivating female voice. Spatial and ritualistic atmospheres create a unique aesthetic, making Earth Drive a remarkable experience to let us flow and travel within ourselves.
What is the best release that folks should check out from your band?
Maybe this new single that will be out this March 20 and then you can check out our previous 2020 record “Helix Nebula”
