Astroqueen - Into Submission (Limited Red Vinyl 2LP)

Heavy fuzz, a taste for the cosmic and riffs built to fill the room. Into Submission captures Astroqueen at the start of their recorded journey, bringing the weight of stoner rock together with a metal-rooted sense of drive. From “Landslide” to “The Sonic Ride” and “Serve The Sun”, even the titles point towards a record made for getting lost in, not leaving quietly in the background.

Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, Astroqueen signed to Pavement Music in December 1999 and released this debut album in 2001. Their stated influences span Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Black Sabbath alongside Iron Maiden and early Metallica, placing their fuzz-heavy approach at the meeting point of desert-rock groove and heavier metal traditions. Recorded and mixed at Los Angered Recordings in May and June 2000, Into Submission was produced and mixed by King Diamond guitarist Andy La Rocque. This 2022 Majestic Mountain Records pressing is the Astroqueen Edition, limited to 300 copies on heavyweight red double vinyl.
