Rather than a straightforward new studio session, it connects an earlier chapter of the Swedish band's history with fresh guitar work and a newly recorded title track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased in Gothenburg, Astroqueen signed to Pavement Music in December 1999 and released their first full-length in summer 2001, produced by King Diamond guitarist Andy La Rocque. Their heavy fuzz-rock approach draws on influences including Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Black Sabbath. For \u003cem\u003eRufus Rising\u003c\/em\u003e, the original quartet of Daniel Änghede, Daniel Tolergård, Johan Borgede and Mattias Wester is represented on recordings made at Los Angered Records in April 2003. Änghede recorded further guitars and the title track in January 2024, before Andy La Rocque mixed and mastered the EP at Sonic Train Studios that March.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRelease details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtist: Astroqueen\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Rufus Rising\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Majestic Mountain Records\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue number: MRR-092\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 12-inch vinyl EP, 45 RPM, 180g\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Tidal Edition, limited edition of 150 copies\u003cbr\u003eColour: White and gold pinwheel with black splatter\u003cbr\u003eRelease year: 2025\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Sweden\u003cbr\u003ePackaging: Standard sleeve with poly-lined inner sleeve\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Stoner rock, fuzz rock\u003cbr\u003eArtwork: Anders Tolergård\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePre-owned\u003cbr\u003eSleeve M\u003cbr\u003eVinyl M\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hollow Stone Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55736272978257,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/4314\/3761\/files\/R-33832788-1745837224-3051.jpg?v=1794230274","url":"https:\/\/hollowstonerecords.com\/products\/astroqueen-rufus-rising","provider":"Hollow Stone Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
