We’re proud to announce that Astrophobos have signed a deal with american label Abyss Records for the release of the our forthcoming debut full-length album.
We’re currently preparing to enter the studio – once again working with producer Erik Nilsson (A Swarm of the Sun, Aoria, Kausal) – to record the album, which is expected to see the light of day this winter. Session drums on the recording will be handled by the very talanted Fredrik Widigs (Demonical, The Ugly).

Have you ever wondered where we came up with the name Astrophobos, what our views are on file sharing, if we plan to release a DVD soon or if you just want some damn good sightseeing tips?
Well, look no further than to fine brazilian publication Source Webzine to get the answer to these, and many more, questions.
Airtime and more great reviews
2011-03-01 20:19
A while back the title track of our EP Arcane Secrets was featured on Australian radio show The Black Arts, alongside acts like Deicide and Sodom. Many thanks to Peter Schulz for giving us the opportunity to attract a few new listeners down under.
We’ve also received a couple of new reviews of Arcane Secrets that we wanted to share with you.
First out is an essay length piece from Spirit of Metal.com that really digs into the details of the release. With quotes like “A true jewel for those who love fast, classic black metal with strong melodic influences.“, and a final score of 17 out of 20 we can only conclude that is was time well spent.
The second one is from the Dutch black metal site aptly named Zware Metalen. Despite our collective lack of knowledge in dutch, our impression is that our efforts were appreciated.
The third and final one from Brutalism.com leaves no room for misinterpretation. The score of 5 out 5 speaks for itself, but we’ll leave you with the reviewers conclusion: “The only problem with this release? A three song EP this good leaves the listener craving more.”
A desire that we hope to fulfill during 2011.
