France’s epic stoner rockers STARMONGER to deliver second video extract off upcoming album ‘Occultation’: “Conjunction”
Heavy psychedelic trio STARMONGER’s new music video “Conjunction” illustrates the thin border between magic and madness representations: “The pyres we lit will be burning all night”. New album ‘Occultation’ is arriving this November 29th on Interstellar Smoke Records.
STARMONGER’s new album ‘Occultation’ draws on the classics to compose their intergalactic epic soundtrack! New music video “Conjunction” offers a sonic and cinematographic follow-up to their debut single “Black Lodge”. Are the adventurers really going mental or is witchcraft happening once again? New music video “Conjunction” was directed by drummer and film director Seb Antoine. Starring professional dancer Neko Hecate as the bewitching priestess!
Say the band: “This multi-act piece is about a divination ritual at the end of a major calendar cycle during an astral conjunction. After a hallucinatory or genuinely divinatory journey, the prophetic vision of a ravaged world in a future of uncertain distance opens up. Is this vision a warning, or an inescapable destiny?”
STARMONGER’s new album ‘Occultation’, with its charismatic vocals, embarks its audience on an occult sonic journey. Built like tales, the seven tracks illustrate a limitless imagination where strange shamanic hallucinations rub shoulders with an interplanetary class struggle. It was recorded by Stoneriver Audio and Jérôme Richelme at DGD Studio in Pantin, France (except “Page of Swords”, recorded by Vincent Liard). Mix and mastering by Jérôme Richelme. Artwork home made by Starmonger (Arthur Desbois, Mathias Friedman, Seb Antoine).

PRE ORDER
Established in 2015, heavy psychedelic three-piece STARMONGER are specialising in polished cosmic atmospheres and epic climaxes. The Parisians have a unique ability to construct intriguing sonic scenarios, sometimes interstellar and introspective, sometimes rebellious and exalted. They take on doom’s dark weight and desert rock’s roughness, with an uncompromising groove! Classics of the genre are dusted off with a swift gesture, no matter if you’re a fan of Red Fang, All Them Witches, Truckfighters or Baroness.
It took 5 years, a new drummer (Seb Antoine) and 4 EPs (‘Revelation’ I, II, III and IV) before we could enjoy STARMONGER’s debut album: ‘Revelations’ was released in 2020 as a self-produced effort. It immediately won over its peers and took the band on the road to the best venues in Europe. The album is a brilliant fuzzy adventure, but is nothing compared to their forthcoming album ‘Occultation – due out on November 29th through Interstellar Smoke Records. Boosted by bassist Mathias Friedman’s arrival, the gem synthesises experience, inspiration and skill into 7 tracks of heavy, confident riffing.
