God Is An Astronaut.



-1. How would you describe your music to someone that has no clue about it?

We make Heavy Rock, Ambient, Electronic, Instrumental Music, with an emphasis on melody and emotion. 

-2. From the beginning, you have released all your albums through Revive Records, your own record label. Why is that?

It was the only way for us to release our music, we had given up the pointless pursuit of getting a record deal and I think we landed on our feet, having your own label is certainly the way to proceed today.

-3. Your live performances are known for their intense self-edited visuals. Are you also visual artists? Why have you decided to accompany each of your songs with a projected footage?

Niels does all the visuals, he spends a lot of time on the visuals making sure everything suits the music with impressive results, everything is 100% in sync with the live music. We believe the visuals are an added way to artistically express ourselves, it adds another dimension to the live show which keeps it more entertaining for the audience.

 -4. Why did you name your band God is An Astronaut?

Many Moons ago we were watching Clive Barkers film "Night-breed", during the film one of the characters said "God is an Astronaut and Oz is over the Rainbow...". I felt it would be a good title to work under, a timeless, yet modern name which I think suits the music we make.

-5. Do you believe in God?

I believe there is something greater than us, wether we are apart of it or not, I'm not so sure.
