Astronoid - Radiant Bloom (CD) - CD

Details: 2022 release from cosmic metal group Astronoid. "It's a balance of aggression and emotion," says the group's Brett Boland. "This is our next evolution. It's a reflection of everything over the past few years, and it's the most personal album we've made so far. Radiant Bloom is about the state of being human and all the trials and tribulations that come along with that. It's about mundanity and boredom and about everything moving so fast that you feel like you can't do it all. It's about the flood of feelings that goes along with everyday experiences and trying to cope with the swirling vortex of life humming around you."
