Astrosoniq (sometimes styled as A5tro5oniq) is a band from Oss, Netherlands.

Each of its album covers features hair growing out of skin. Sometimes a woman, sometimes a man, or sometimes a circle of flesh surrounded by hair.[1]

Musical style

Astrosoniq's musical style is characterized by extremely psychedelic guitar riffs. The result is stoner rock with a space flavor. It integrates sound clips from old movies, Wonder Woman episodes and other sources. Most continue the themes of fantasy and space.

The band cites classic heavy rock artists as their influences, which can be seen in the heavy guitar riffs and drums.
