- Epic Instrumental band "God Is An Astronaut" are a three piece from the Glen of the Downs, Ireland. They formed in 2002 and released their debut album "The End of the Beginning"(2002) on their own Revive Records label. Their two video singles "The End of the Beginning" and "From Dust to the Beyond" received airplay on MTV UK and on other MTV European networks.
"All is Violent, All is Bright"(2005) is God Is An Astronaut's second album. This album trademarks their colossal build ups from serene ambience to searing intensity. Considered by many as the most intense live act to emerge from Ireland in recent times due to their controversial audio/visual shows, this album is a closer representation of their live sound. Their single "Fragile" from the album has also gotten plays on MTV2 U.K.'s 120 minute show and MTV's "The Comedown" show.
The band have just released a new E.P. "A Moment of Stillness"(2006) and will continue to push their sound across the globe into 2006 and beyond...
