The Asteroid Miners‘ Legacy
About two years ago, Swiss Cosmic Stoner Doom Desperados Gentle Beast presented their first galactic odyssey. The successor to their selftitled debut might be the album with the greatest title of 2025 so far. Sci Fi fans, B-Movie enthusiasts, and Heavy Metal heads, please come together to embrace this name: here is Vampire Witch Reptilian Super Soldier (… From Outer Space). The title also sounds like something that conspiracy theorists actually believe in, and without diving too deep into this topic: yes, Gentle Beast blow some potshots in that direction, too.
Endless Void and Exploding Suns
Behind the classy 80s Sci Fi hommage of a cover artwork, there is an album that merges universes in a threefold way. Firstly, on a musical level, Vampire Witch Super Soldier (… From Outer Space) is an alloy of Desert Rock and Doom Metal with some psychedelia and cosmicism as side ingredients. Content-wise, on the one hand there is the level of denotation where you can find space themes alongside steppes and deserts. And when scratching the surface of denotation, you can find serious issues such as late capitalism, climate change, and the rise of the idiocracy as well as dark cynicism and sarcasm.
Beastial and Gentle
Vampire Witch Super Soldier (… From Outer Space) is a stunning high speed journey through vast space. Gentle Beast present a versatile and multi-faceted sound while constantly entertaining their audience. The Swiss Space Program is ready for launch!
