Quote from drummer Sam Gates

"Our new single ‘1202’ was originally created as an intro for our live shows but during lockdown we felt it had the beginnings of a full song, one that really came into its own once we were able to get in a room together and work on it. The title comes from the 1202 alarm code from Apollo 11 and lyrically, the song is about delirium and following the theme of being marooned on the moon, hearing voices, and fighting for survival. This song is the sixth track on the album. With its mix of heavy sections and melancholic lyrics it leads into a contemplative middle section and is finally topped off with a furious finale. It really makes for a storied and interesting composition that is by far, one of our favourites on the album. We’re really proud of how this track came to be, and the journey we took to create it."

Press Info

Originally formed in 2015 as Black Atlas, the Hertfordshire-based quartet – born anew as Erronaut – are thrilled to announce the official worldwide release of their debut album, The Space Inbetween, this summer on London Doom Collective.

Consisting of vocalist/guitarist, Mikey Ward; fellow guitar slinger, Peter Hunt, bassist Simon Wilson, and drummer Sam Gates (whose arrival sparked this new iteration of the band) Erronaut’s singular sound has continued to evolve at every turn. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 70s rock of Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd, the 90s grunge of Soundgarden, and stoner metal of modern torchbearers Lowrider and Fu Manchu, the band seek to conquer new frontiers.

"When we sat down to start writing, we made a concerted effort to push and explore ourselves as artists and collaborators," explains vocalist Mikey Ward. "With the amount of work we've done to create it, we’re really proud of how this album has turned out, and we feel this is a real representation of what we are trying to achieve, both in the studio and as a live act on stage."

Employing heavy atmospheric rock to power lyrical subjects that focus on love, loss, and existential introspection, the dynamic foursome has well and truly delivered The Space Inbetween. Hook-laden guitars conjure soaring post-metal vistas and showcase a huge progression in their song writing. From the volatile cosmic sludge of ‘Way Down Below’ to the down-tuned, distorted environs of new single ‘Lost Cause’, the band crafts immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to distant realms.

More than just a studio project, Erronaut is also a force to be reckoned with live. Known for their electrifying stage energy, their formidable reputation precedes them having performed at gigs and festivals across the UK as well as appearing at Bloodstock 2021.

Fully realised and breath-taking in its execution, The Space Inbetween is released via London Doom Collective on 30th August 2024 and can be pre-ordered, here.
