Originally formed in 2015 as Black Atlas, the Hertfordshire-based quartet – born anew as Erronaut – are thrilled to announce the official worldwide release of their debut album, “The Space Inbetween”, this summer via London Doom Collective.
Consisting of vocalist & guitarist, Mikey Ward; fellow guitar slinger, Peter Hunt, bassist Simon Wilson, and drummer Sam Gates (whose arrival sparked this new iteration of the band) Erronaut’s singular sound has continued to evolve at every turn. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 70s rock of Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd, the 90s grunge of Soundgarden, and stoner metal of modern torchbearers Lowrider and Fu Manchu, the band seek to conquer new frontiers.
“When we sat down to start writing, we made a concerted effort to push and explore ourselves as artists and collaborators”, explains vocalist Mikey Ward. “With the amount of work we’ve done to create it, we’re really proud of how this album has turned out, and we feel this is a real representation of what we are trying to achieve, both in the studio and as a live act on stage”.
Employing heavy atmospheric rock to power lyrical subjects that focus on love, loss, and existential introspection, the dynamic foursome has well and truly delivered “The Space Inbetween”. Hook-laden guitars conjure soaring post-metal vistas and showcase a huge progression in their song writing. From the volatile cosmic sludge of “Way Down Below” to the down-tuned, distorted environs of new single “Lost Cause”, the band crafts immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to distant realms.
Fully realised and breath-taking in its execution, “The Space Inbetween” is released on August 30th, 2024, via London Doom Collective and can be pre-ordered, here. Stream and share new single “Lost Cause” below.!
