INTRONAUT Announces New Album Title; Studio Report
Unparalleled intensity, psychedelic brutality, captivating hooks and just the right
dose of unpredictability have defined Southern California’s INTRONAUT since their
inception in 2004. But, they’ll be taking thinking man’s metal in a new direction
with their Century Media debut, Prehistoricisms. The band is currently tracking
drums at Opera Studios in North Hollywood and recording guitars and bass at Castle
Oaks Studios in Calabasas. Vocals are being completed at Clearlake Audio in North
Hollywood, and the whole process is being engineered by Josh Newell (Jane’s
Addiction). Expect a release later this year.
“I can’t even begin to express how excited we are about this record,” said frontman
and guitarist Sacha Dunable. “It’s definitely our most densely packed body of work
yet. In addition to the standard INTRONAUT angle of attack, we have some surprises
including an awesome guest solo from Negativa/Gorguts guitarist Steeve Hurdle, as
well as some truly jaw-dropping moments of Indian/metal fusion courtesy of Joe and
Dave. Stoked.”
The group has 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 Prehistoricisms as “One of the most anticipated releases
of 2008.” In October 2007, INTRONAUT released The Challenger EP, but this will be
the band’s first set of recordings with new guitarist and longtime friend Dave
Timnick, with whom they have only recorded one Pink Floyd cover (“Arnold Layne”) for
a Syd Barrett tribute disc up until now.
In less than a week, INTRONAUT will join The Ocean and Lair of the Minotaur in one
of the more diverse bills of the year for a short run through Arizona and California
