With their debut full-length album set for release on Karisma Records at the end of the year, Prog Rockers KOSMODOME have today revealed “Waver II”, a second single from the self-titled album.
Whilst it would appear that thanks to its title this particular track is only a half of a whole, the band are quick to point out that this is not the case:
“Waver II” is the second of two connected tracks on the album but it stands on its own as a self-examining journey in search of answers. It explores the paralyzing effect different sorts of fear has on our psyche; describing feelings of panic, anxiousness, and the fear of failure, whilst also pondering on what it takes to stay calm and collected.

As a debut album, “Kosmodome” illustrates perfectly how clever song writing can create a sound that has the explosive drive of bands like MASTODON, whilst still being able to sound melodic. And Sturle and Severin Sandvik, the two brothers who founded KOSMODOME, are masters at being able to bridge that often tricky gap. And for those who are wondering what actually lies behind the album itself, they explain:
We aim to draw listeners into the “Kosmodome”, in all its diversity. Throughout the album, we dwell in the melodic and the groovy; a baseline for deep dives into massive, heavy soundscapes and spacey atmospheres. Instrumental sections are central to our musical storytelling, further supported by our lyrical themes; introspection and wonder, ruminations on the human condition, and frustrations toward contemporary society.
Although starting out as a two-piece, with Sturle on guitars and vocals, and Severin on drums, it was obvious that additions to the lineup would have to be made if KOSMODOME was to bring its riff-based Rock sound with its distinctive Stoner elements and progressive nuances to a live audience. To that end, the brothers have now been joined Magnus Magnussen on bass and Erlend Nord on guitar.
And it is this live lineup that fans will be able to see when KOSMODOME launch the album at Det Akademiske Kvarter in Bergen, Norway, on the 12th November.
