Astral voyagers Siderean venture into grotesque celestial sonic realms, melding deep space atmosphere and dissonant death metal abstraction with grand mythopoeic narratives. Their roots grow out of far-reaching influences from the old-school and unfurl toward the stars. The band’s debut “Lost on Void’s Horizon”, released on the Norwegian label Edged Circle Productions in 2021, showcases their own vision, a combination of progressive and technical death metal that is as fascinating and enthralling as it is disorienting.
