ASTROSONIQ This collective from Oss, The Netherlands, has been exploring the ends of the Rock Universe since 1999. Influenced by legendary classic rock acts such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind, Funkadelic, Thin Lizzy and Kiss, these Wizards of Oss know no musical bounds, and theres no sonic trip too far out for them. Astrosoniq is characterised by Marcels massive swinging drumbeats, Eriks detailed, pounding basslines, (Ba)Rons power riffs and fine, sometimes outragious solos and Fred & Eriks catchy vocals, often covered with an alien sauce of weird samples and space-sounds, this all being submerged in a fat and unpolished sound.

ORANGE GOBLIN
Only the strong survive, as the saying goes.......... Orange Goblin are back in the saddle and not
only are they surviving but they are winning and continue to uphold the traditions of great British
heavy metal and forge forward. Having returned with their new album Thieving from the House
of God in 2004, which managed to encapsulate all of the unique traits that weve become so familiar
with from their previous four albums, the Goblin are still riding high and celebrating 10 years of
Rock N Roll debauchery and mayhem. From the psychedelic noodlings of Frequencies from Planet Ten to
the greasy, biker groove of Time Travelling Blues, the crushing cosmic doom of The Big Black right
through to the aggressive punk-metal fusion of Coup de Grace and the all out rock / metal majesty of
Thieving. The Goblin have been there, seen it, drunk the place dry and continued to motor onward,
freeing themselves from any stagnant pigeonhole that may be thrown their way.
