Kosmodome - Ad Undas

Tracklist: 1. Neophobia 2. Hyperion 3. Obsternasig 4. Dystopia 5. Turmoil 6. Fatigue

Kosmodome is the project by two prodigal brothers Sturle and Severin Sandvik from the western coast of Norway. Rounded out as a four-piece live band, Kosmodome forges riffy yet brainy rock music. Their second album "Ad Undas" is a further step into their own progressive universe.

Ad Undas is the follow up to Kosmodome's self-titled debut album from 2021, which was well received by critics and fans across Europe. Musically, the record shows what else lives inside the riff-based progressive universe Kosmodome are building, where the singular goal is to avoid being stuck in genre expectations.

Seeking a more dynamic and melodious sound, the songwriters Sturle and Severin Sandvik still deliver an album with heavy riffs, aggressiveness and many surprises. The brothers attribute the dynamism of their sound to an upbringing in a household where all music- from world music to metal- was commonplace and appreciated.

Lyrically, Ad Undas delves into personal struggles with self-doubt, the pressures of societal expectations, and the existential battles of modern life. The songs touch on different aspects of the human condition, from the fear of failure and the need for growth to the turmoil of modern living and relentless self-exertion in a chaotic world. Ad Undas is a Greek term meaning “to the waves”, but in Norway it is used as an expression when everything goes “to hell” or fails (everything goes south).

Kosmodome have played concerts on different stages both at home and abroad and are ready for more live performances after a studio hiatus in 2023 to work on Ad Undas. Fans of Stickman Records' extensive catalog of progressive heavy music featuring artists such as Motorpsycho, Elder and Weedpecker- should definitely keep their eyes peeled for what might be their new favorite band!
