Naxatras Announce European Tour Dates
As they’re no strangers to doing at this point, Greek prog-psych explorers Naxatras will continue with live activity through the coming Fall as they support their earlier-2025 studio album, V (review here), and its bold interpretation of their sound, building on the open psychedelic jamming the band had done in the past and putting the results toward new directions and structures of songwriting. It was an exciting record conceptually and a real-world gorgeous listen, able to find cohesion through a breadth of influences spanning decades.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Naxatras live — it was 2023 at SonicBlast in Portugal (review here), so before the new record but still relevant — and if it’s something you get the chance to do, you’d do well not to miss them. I know, I say that all the time. I mean it, though. Not my fault the world is full of killer underground music across a swath of styles and geographic locales. For sure, there are worse problems to have.
From the PR wire:
Greek psych rockers NAXATRAS announce summer and fall European shows!
Greek hard psych and prog rock stalwarts NAXATRAS are set to take over Eastern Europe this fall to spread the mesmerizing sonic tales of their new album “V” across nine cities, with more dates to be announced soon!
Naxatras has spent over a decade forging a distinctive presence in the hard psych scene. With four critically acclaimed albums under their belt, they have evolved from a predominantly jam-oriented band into one that balances spontaneity with purposeful craftsmanship. This transformation is the natural result of years of touring, artistic exploration, and a steadfast commitment to their unique sound.
Their new album “V” represents a bold leap forward, expanding their heavy progressive rock influences while broadening their sound through hypnotic touches of world music with Eastern flutes, strings and tribal percussions all finely blended with electronics. “V” is an immersive, intoxicating and genre-bending piece of music from cosmic adventurers that won’t cease to impress while taking us into their unique mirific sonic realms.
