New The Astronaut King coming soon
COMING EARTH DAY (April 22): New The Astronaut King single/preview track “Parasitic Overgrowth,” off the new album that’s in the works. It’s an angry one, a very angry one. There’s one more song on the new album with vocals that’s a real downer. The rest are instrumental.
