Intronaut

[HOT DAMN!]

such rad tunes, can't wait for the new EP

[MaximumFluoride]

I was bugging Leon about in the hell he would quit such a rad band. He said they were not heavy enough. He needs to be playing Grind or Death Metal. I am going to punch him next time I see him.

Saw Intronaut tonight with the new guitar player/ singer. They still rule. Go see them when they hit your town. They are headed to Europe to do a tour with The Ocean. You Euros would be dumb to miss that. They are doing some shows with High On Fire in February as well.

Awesome!

official press release:

Very few bands can effectively mix intelligence with intensity like Southern California’s INTRONAUT, which is one of the biggest reasons Century Media Records quickly signed the quartet to a worldwide deal. INTRONAUT essentially walks a fine line between psychedelic brutality, captivating hooks and devastating yet unpredictable time changes. This is the essence of thinking man’s metal and something so refreshing that it should serve as a vicious wake up call to masses forcing the entire genre to take notice.

The group have been critics darlings, receiving numerous accolades from such major publications as Decibel, Metal Maniacs, Outburn and Revolver, among a slew of others. Decibel even listed their next effort as “One of the most anticipated releases of 2008.” A short tour of the U.S. with High On Fire, A Life Once Lost and Saviours is slated for February, which will lead them into finishing the writing process for the new full-length to be recorded in April. Either see the tour section or visit MySpace.com - Intronaut - LOS ANGELES, California - Progressive / Metal / Experimental - www.myspace.com/intronaut for their complete touring itinerary.

Sacha Dunable (vocals/guitars) states: “There is a level of chemistry that we’ve never had before, now with our new guitar player Dave in the band. The new ideas that are flowing out of us are totally destroying everything we’ve done prior to this, and we can’t wait to hear what will come of it.”

In honor of the signing, CM Distro is putting the group’s entire catalog on sale. Customers who order all three releases will also receive a free INTRONAUT T-shirt while supplies last.

INTRONAUT is the brainchild of drummer Danny Walker (Jesu, Phobia, Uphill Battle) and Dunable (Anubis Rising) that came together in 2004 as both were each looking for a new musical project. Together they conceptualized the direction of the band for months prior to actually coming together to jam. The group would quickly be rounded out by bassist Joe Lester and guitarist Leon Del Muerte. They soon recorded and self-released the Null demo. This immediately caught the interest of Canada’s Goodfellow Records, who quickly signed the band and re-released Null as an EP in February 2006. Around this time, the band wrote and recorded their first full-length LP, Void, which was released by Goodfellow in August 2006.

INTRONAUT toured extensively throughout 2006, completing a self-booked North American tour composed of stints with Mouth of The Architect, Fuck The Facts, Black Cobra, Century, and Genghis Tron. The year was ultimately capped off with a two month U.S. tour alongside Misery Index and Yakuza. In early 2007, the group was added last minute to the first half of Isis’ headlining tour, which also featured Torche and Oxbow.

This past summer with the Goodfellow contract up, INTRONAUT decided to write and record a one-off EP with Translation Loss Records. This resulted in The Challenger EP, which was released in October 2007. Shortly after recording The Challenger, Leon Del Muerte quit the band and was replaced by long time friend Dave Timnick. This injection of new blood recharged the band creatively, and they recorded one track (“Arnold Layne” by Pink Floyd) for a Syd Barrett tribute disc. A full European tour with Germany’s The Ocean soon followed, which proved to be the band’s most successful tour to date. In 2008, INTRONAUT look to surprise the genre with an effort that will keep people on their toes wondering just what is going to hit them next.
