Norwegian prog rockers Gazpacho are back and they bring a new album. The band just revealed the details of the new studio album, Soyuz. If you missed them or want to check them out, hear the first single "Soyuz One" right here to get an idea of what's to come. This is their first release since 2015's Molok.




The themes of Soyuz were born from the idea of how beautiful moments pass and cannot be "saved for later", so within Soyuz are interconnected tales of people and lives "frozen in time". Taking inspiration from a multitude of eras and subject matters, including the doomed Russian space capsule Soyuz and its iconic captain Komarov; the Tibetan Buddhist funeral practice in "Sky Burial"; the inclusion of the oldest recording of the human voice from 1860 and the Hans Christian Andersen inspired "Emperor Bespoke".

Soyuz was recorded at Krypton Planet and St. Croix Fredrikstad in Norway, engineered by Thomas Andersen, Kristian Torp and Mikael Kroemer, mixed by John Rausch and mastered by Sonovo Mastering's Thor Legvold. The artwork, designed by painter Antonio Seijas, is inspired by Russian Cold War colours and fonts from the Soyuz One flight era.
