Solar Sons Sign to Argonauta Records; New Video “Altitude” Posted
While you’re following the sans-pretense nod of “Altitude” — not groundbreaking, not trying to be; underground heavy speaking to its own is the order of the day — from Dundee, Scotland trio Solar Sons, you’ll probably want to note it’s the title-track of their next album, which ohheylookatthat will also be their first through Argonauta Records. Trad doom is a factor in the sound, and Southern riffing à la heydey-era Down, but they land the hook well and engage in a way one might hope for a lead single/title-track. Bodes well is what I’m saying.
Altitude — and surely my own is something I could stand to adjust at this very moment, chemically speaking; this wretched lucidity — has been given an Oct. 24 release date. No album details like tracks or art or recording circumstances as yet, but that’s surely coming as we’re about a month and a half out from the release. The band’s Another Dimension (review here) full-length was released in 2023.
From the PR wire:
Scottish Heavy Rock Trio Solar Sons Sign To Argonauta Records; Release New Single & Video Altitude; Upcoming Album Altitude Out October 24th
Scottish heavy rock and metal trio SOLAR SONS are thrilled to announce their signing with Argonauta Records for the worldwide release of their upcoming album Altitude, due out on October 24th, 2025.
To mark this new chapter, the band has unveiled the record’s title-track, Altitude, now available on all digital platforms along with an official music video streaming here: https://youtu.be/dP3lTm0OAwI.
Hailing from Dundee, Solar Sons twist traditional heavy metal with modern groove, stoner/doom atmospheres, and progressive rock elements, forging a dynamic and high-octane sound. The lineup features brothers Rory Lee (bass & vocals) and Danny Lee (guitar), alongside Pete Garrow (drums). Together they deliver thunderous rhythms, scorching riffs, and soaring vocals that weave melody and storytelling into a truly distinctive style.
Since forming in 2016, Solar Sons have independently released five albums, the latest of which garnered critical acclaim from across the international heavy scene. Their reputation as a live force is equally strong, having played with Green Lung, Weedpecker and King Witch, and performing at the prestigious Bloodstock Festival in both 2017 and 2022, along with headline shows in London in 2023 and 2024.
With Altitude, the band is ready to take their music to greater heights, bringing their blend of heavy groove, prog, and riff-driven energy to a wider audience.
Solar Sons comment:
“We’re beyond excited to announce our signing with Argonauta Records and to finally share the first taste of our new album with you. Altitude sets the tone for what’s to come, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear the full record this October.”
Stay tuned for further album details and tour news in the weeks ahead.
