Their Dogs Were Astronauts

Their Dogs Were Astronauts Is An Instrumental Progressive Metal And Djent Band Project From Austria Which Was Founded In 2014. The Music Of The Two Brothers Denis And Leonard Roth Who Both Studied Music Focuses On Riff Heavy Instrumental Music Seasoned With Catchy Melodies. With The Use Of 7- And 8-String Guitars They Explore All The Musical Possibilities That These Extended Range Instruments Offer. The Project Is Musically Influenced By Many Different Styles And Genres Ranging From Jazz To Fusion To Some Really Well Known Bands In The Scene Such As "Animals As Leaders" "TesseracT" "Periphery" And Many More. With Their 5th LP On The Way The Two Brothers Released 4 Full Length Albums Called "In Touch” 2014 “Earthkeeper" 2015 “Mystery Diary” 2016 And „Neon Theatre“ 2017 Which Were Received Very Well By The Progressive Metal Community And Some Major Promotion Sites On The Internet It Djents Got Djent Core Community ... They Also Released 3 EPs “Chapajuby” “To Separate Us From The Clouds” And “A Constant Stream Of Color” Which Could Easily Hold Up With The Success Of The Albums. The Live Concept Of The Two-Piece Is Quite New In The Metal Scene Since They Don’t Perform As A Whole Band. Their Dogs Were Astronauts Try To Bring Their Full Studio Sound To The Stage Offering The Audience A Whole New Concert Experience.
The Project Has Always Been Mainly Focused On The Guitar Work And Songwriting Of The Two Brothers And So They Also Try To Get This Philosophy Through To Their Audience During Their Performance. While Using Backing Tracks Is Common Practice In Other Genres It’s Still Quite Unusual In The Metal Scene.
