Naxatras, the Greek psychedelic rock band, has spent over a decade forging a distinctive presence in the hard psych scene. With four critically acclaimed albums under their belt, they have evolved from a predominantly jam-oriented band into one that balances spontaneity with deliberate craftsmanship. This transformation is the natural result of years of touring, artistic exploration, and a steadfast commitment to their unique sound.

​

In the band’s ever-present mindset of constant experimentation and evolution as a creative process, bits and pieces of ideas and patterns were brewing, waiting for the right time to surface. Now, those fragments have come to life, enriched by the band’s matured approach to songwriting. With a line-up that includes a keyboardist and an expanded percussion arsenal, Naxatras has embraced a multi-layered production, blending their analog warmth with a newfound clarity and complexity.

​

Their new album, V, represents a bold leap forward. The ingredients of their sound have been multiplied, and their influences broadened, incorporating not just the classic touchstones of '70s progressive rock but also world music flavours and electronic elements. No longer searching for their identity, Naxatras now confidently build up on their experience, delivering songs that are both tightly constructed and daringly expansive.

​

V is a collection of compositions that balance the direct and the adventurous, taking listeners on a journey that is as grounded as it is cosmic. Exploring the saga of the world of Narahmon with the introduction of the Spacekeeper as a new chapter in their mythical lore, the album’s concept narrative reflects a band at the height of its creative powers, pushing boundaries while crafting music that resonates deeply.

​

This is more than an album; it’s a defining moment for Naxatras. With their vast array of influences and years of expertise converging, V signals a new chapter, reaffirming their place as one of the most visionary acts in the progressive rock landscape.
