Asteroid - Asteroid (2007)


 The debut album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, organ and vocals.

The real debut of the band was a split album with Blowback, another band from Sweden. But that album is a bit difficult to get hold of.

The band has so far released three albums and they are all up for reviews here this spring.

Asteroid plays a power trio mix of stoner, space rock and heavy metal. 

The vocals are pretty good and in the stoner rock vein. I wish there had been more organ here to give the band a more 1970s feel and sound. The guitars is dominating the organ, though and the sound is more like the post-millenium stoner rock sound.

The music is pretty groovy too. This one hour long album has a mix of decent and good songs. 

This is an acceptable debut album and one to progress from.
