“The debut full length from London based genre morphing instrumentalists Astrohenge. While it could be lazily described with phrases that have become somewhat tiresome and cliché within the instrumental contemporary metal scene, this is by no means another po-faced post-rock/metal band, more a lesson or even a reminder of great metal riff-o-rama. Yes, you could say it's cinematic and there are moments of epic-ness but at the end of the day this all about riff worship and what a lot of bands seem to have forgotten........fun!”

“Another day, another instrumental, psychedelic rock group roll up, light up, and ramblingly wind their way towards a hazy horizon. Actually, not quite. There are undoubtedly some hypnotically driving rhythms on display here, but there’s also a serious grasp of what makes for a compelling record. So, as well as conjuring up a veritable festival of red-blooded riff-mongery, Astrohenge add creepy atmospherics, tinkling keys, horror movie-esque sound effects and laid-back, intriguing moments of reprieve to make this a remarkably immersive beast. Constantly changing tack without ever disengaging the quality control, ‘Astrohenge’ is a supremely satisfying journey into groovy oblivion.
