After touring worldwide between 2014 and 2016 (with shows in USA, Europe, Asia and Russia), the band released their first album on Kaotoxin Records in 2016, a trip atop a giant rubber trampoline of funky-metal basslines, huge metal riffs, crusty punk vocals and serious prog, and has been hailed as one of the revelation of 2016, and their next release will be released through Indie Recordings soon, so stay tuned!
The eccentric Geneva-based powerhouse The Erkonauts, also labeled as the prog version of Motörhead, are finally out with their second studio album "I Shall Forgive"! With an epic blend of metal hysteria and tasteful progressive elements, their new album explores a new landscape of technical metal and storytelling definitely worth an attentive listen.
"I Shall Forgive" was an intense album to create, made of hard work, sleepless nights, blood and tears. But it's also a really human album, the kind that entertains you, makes you want to move forward. We can't be more proud and happy now that it's out, and hope it's going to be the soundtrack of many people best moments in life!" - The Erkonauts
