ASTRONOID Launch “Depressed Mode” Video Alongside The Release Of ‘Stargod’

Progressive post-metal trio Astronoid have unveiled the music video for “Depressed Mode”, coinciding with the release of their brand-new album ‘Stargod’ — out today, November 7th, via 3DOT Recordings, the label operated by members of Periphery.

The video, directed by James Singleton and filmed at Blackheart Sound, arrives as part of the band’s latest creative chapter. Multi-instrumentalist Brett Boland revealed that the track’s inclusion on the album nearly didn’t happen:

“‘Depressed Mode’ almost didn’t make the record. We were trying to complete the record but there wasn’t enough time to finish the lyrics, form, and rehearse the track so it was put on the backburner. We all loved where it was going but there just wasn’t enough time.”

Boland went on to explain how unforeseen delays ultimately helped bring the song to life:

“There was a point in the process where we had to completely halt the recording of ‘Stargod’ due to family matters. When we got back to it, we decided the best thing to do was re-track all of the drums for the record. The original drums were recorded in my basement and it was holding back the entire mix. With this new date to record in the books, I was able to finish ‘Depressed Mode’ and we rehearsed it in time for the session. It ended up being one of the most unique tracks on the record and really solidified ‘Stargod’ as a whole.”
