APHYXION‘s latest studio album is the fourth long player in this young band’s career. Eleven songs tell stories about mental health, near-death experiences, getting over frustrations, breakups and disappointments - and the wide open space ahead of you to be filled with brighter elements. The concept of duality also becomes apparent in the well-balanced mixture of harsh metal sounds and growls in exchange with clear and catchy melodies.
'Ad Astra' is the first album which sees the band open up for a variety of collaborations, including 'Pathless' (with Siamese’s Mirza Radonjica), 'Oceans Of Time' (with Chaosbay’s Jan Listing) and 'Heavy Shadows' (with IMMERSE’s Archie Hatfield).
The cover art exists as a real painted picture created by Fabian Eichstaedt, a Hamburg based artist, inspired by the album title.
The new single 'Anomalies' is a celebration of being an unadjusted misfit whose value it is not to be a part of the silent mass of conformity. It postulates that it’s your edges which are the jags of the stars and which you shouldn’t grind down just to be a part of the majority, or in APHYXION’s own words in this song: “Don’t let them steal all your wonder.” The video gives a good impression of the vibe at the sold out show in Copenhagen from January this year.
