Green Meteor to Release Consumed by a Dying Sun on Argonauta Records
Golly. With all this talk about moon valkyries and two-wheeled space cowboys, you’d almost think Green Meteor were weedian as fuck. Oh wait, they are. The Philly outfit have been trying to find a label home able to compensate for the bizarro riffery of their debut album, Consumed by a Dying Sun, since they announced their Fall tour last October, and it seems Italian imprint Argonauta Records is the one bold enough to take on the task. No solid release date yet, but it’ll reportedly be sometime this year — the label has an increasingly full schedule emerging, and keeps adding bands to it — and that works for me. Wouldn’t be surprised in the least if Green Meteor hit the road again in 2017 as well, as their kind of volume and weird ritualizing is best enjoyed with friends.
Argonauta sent the following along the PR wire:
GREEN METEOR sign to Argonauta Records
We’re excited to announce we inked a deal with Philadelphia sonic space warriors GREEN METEOR.
Green Meteor blends influences old and new into their heavy brand of space rock. Fuzz-saturated rhythms and cosmic soundscapes are charged with melodic vocals to create the perfect sonic accompaniment to their live visual experience.
On working with Argonauta: “When Gero, the high-command of Argonauta Record,s sent us a transmission about a rendezvous between Green Meteor and Argonauta Records in which we would create an international alliance with intent of reducing the cosmos to space haze via super-sonic assault, we were thrilled. Our vision and his aligned and thus the journey has begun! We are pleased to be a part of the roster and we are very confident that great things will come from this partnership.”
GREEN METEOR sound was formed in a space vacuum that managed to escape in 2015 and find its way to the stage 2016. The cosmic tribe was formed by Algar-a two wheeled space cowboy fueled by black hole bass fallout, 2T-a highly advanced killing machine turned drummer and space sound database, Amy-a moon Valkyrie mastered in the art of crushing sonic sound, and Leta-a shamanic space cheetah. Together they complete the space ritual known as Green Meteor.
New album to be released during 2017, a must-have for fans of of Kyuss, Acid King, Bongzilla and Hawkwind.
