Astroqueen "Serve the Sun" CD single (Pavement Music). The release info is so inadequate that it would have to be intentional just to peak your curiosity. It worked. It says the new release Into Submission hit stores June 12th. There is also a video on the way. That's it. "Serve the Sun" is an awesome song that sucks you right into the Astroqueen mystique. Sounds a bit Swedish like Entombed, a bit punky like The Hellacopters, and just enough modern stoner steeped into the formula to texture the musical landscape with impressive depth. Enough heaviness to combat the melody and riffs and vice-versa. Someday, we will discover more about Astroqueen and if not, then you can search the bins for this CD-single. Sounds like Electric Wizard cross-mated with Entombed raised in an punk environment. Are these the heavy metal undead sons of Eddie Cochran and a she-devil from Sweden? Has Nicke from the Hellacopters been mating with any Swedish doomerettes? We shall all have to wait until the shroud arises for Astroqueen. |
