OMEN ASTRA JOINS HYPAETHRAL RECORDS ROSTER

“THE END OF EVERYTHING” LP COMING MAY 2023

Progressive post-metal band Omen Astra (hailing from Hamilton, ON) have joined forces with Toronto, ON based record label Hypaethral Records to unleash their crushing debut LP titled “The End of Everything”. The 6 track album is set for a Spring 2023 release, with record labels Protagonist Music (US) and Moment of Collapse (Europe) joining in to share the release duties. Pre-orders are expected to launch February 2023.

The first single, “False Gods”, is streaming now on Bandcamp and all major platforms. It is an exploration into the vastness of heavy music that blends the complexity of Gojira with the detuned sludge of Sumac. Vocalist Christopher Gray (ex. The Black Maria, New Day Rising) transitions seamlessly from guttural screams to aethereal melodies reminiscent of David Bowie. A juxtaposition of the grotesque and the beautiful that will stick with you long after you listen.

Omen Astra draws from the atmosphere of Post-Metal and the crushing weight of Sludge, pushing far past the boundaries of those subgenres to create something dark, expansive, and wholly unique. Like a modern mandala, Omen Astra will bring you into a trance-like state, awash in the universality of heaviness.

Formed in 2012, Hypaethral Records, are purveyors of doom and blackened metal. This Omen Astra LP will stand shoulder-to-shoulder among releases by their former band Spread the Disease, the blackened doom of QAALM, the experimental heaviness of Ancress, and the sheer aggression of TITAN.

RIYL: Cult of Luna, Gojira, Neurosis, Sumac, Mare, The Ocean, Intronaut
