Set controls for the infinite expanse with staggering new epic Astral Voyager from KAL-EL.
Formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2012, KAL-EL established themselves as a unique force in the international heavy underground, blending Scandinavian desert-style rock, classic metal, psychedelia and doom elements with ambitious sci-fi themes.
After a profuse series of mind-expanding journeys through spacetime (five albums and three EPs from 2013 to 2023), the band are back with the most significant milestone in their multi-dimensional journey yet.
Astral Voyager Vol. 1 tells the saga of intergalactic bounty hunter Mica, who trades in taking down the scum of the universe while dodging The Nine, a control-obsessed consortium that seeks to dominate her as they do the rest of the cosmos. Traveling and bringing in her marks, Mica's journey is a story of hope, individuality and searching for meaning in the unknown.
Presented in two volumes during 2025, the Astral Voyager double album is the strongest realization of KAL-EL's signature sonic approach to date. Full of downtuned grooves, soaring anthems and vintage sci-fi aesthetics, it's an explosion of contagious fuzz-blues from Scandinavia's prolific and impressive masters of starfaring heaviness!
Retail Edition 12": 140g vinyl, solid blue. It comes in a standard sleeve, 2-sided insert, poly-lined innersleeves.
