| This Friday, July 15, sees Irish post-rock maestros GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT release a very special anniversary album: With 20 years and a strong collection of masterful, acclaimed albums to their name, the four-piece comes full circle with their new live studio epos, The Beginning Of The End. Recorded at Windmill Lane Recording Studio in Dublin, Ireland on October 3, 2021, the album features modern transformations of all of the songs from their debut album, 2002’s The End Of The Beginning, encompassing each track’s evolutionary changes throughout the band’s years of live performances while allowing the original melodies and songwriting to shine through. To shorten your wait until the record finally arrives this Friday via Napalm Records, today, GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT have premiered a brand new music video for their classic “Route 666”! The new live studio version kicks off with its praised synth and dark wave beat, taking the listener on a ride into the otherworldly sounds GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT has created for two decades. ““Route 666“ is the oldest God Is An Astronaut song. It was written in 1999 before God Is An Astronaut was formed,“ Torsten Kinsella reveals. “Initially Niels and I came up with the name / subject matter after watching US Televangelist Don Stewart pitching his green prosperity prayer handkerchief on the TV which we found obviously ludicrous, equally entertaining and humorous. Back in the early years when we would play “Route 666“ live we would use some old film clips from the 1968 Horror film “The Devil Rides out“. Needless to say the whole vibe was satirical.“ Watch the stunning, new GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT video for “Route 666” HERE: |
