Current Merch in stock from StarGazer Band
StarGazer is an Australian band that doesn’t really fit into any one genre, combining black, death, and progressive metal with an otherworldly almost cosmic feel. Formed in the early 2000s the music explores mysticism, existentialism, and the unknowable, creating a dense multi-layered experience that’s both aggressive and almost meditative.
The band has The Great Righteous Destroyer on vocals and bass, Khronomancer on drums and The Serpent Inquisitor on guitars and vocals. Each member’s background in black and death metal brings a high level of technical proficiency and creativity to StarGazer, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal with complex riffs, dissonant harmonies, and sudden tempo changes that will absolutely captivate you.
