I’m a 60s child. I still get so excited when I hear new great music. Outstanding

[@germaniumandsilicon]

me too😊... I think this album is a special one. For my ears.. it‘s everything in it, tempo, instruments, changes,.. everything fits... and so for me personally, it is a masterpiece, a milestone , a creative artwork

it is a good feeling

[@PsychoxPaul]

Love this. Even high profile musicians in the rock and metal scene say the scenes dying. They’re just outdated burnouts who don’t put the effort in finding music and just assume it’s a dying scene.

[@johnmckenzie8522]

Me as age of 63 this group is far best band and song is best

[@NaxatrasOfficial]

We wanted to thank you all for your amazing support. It really means the world to us, that we could finally share this album with you all.

Possibly the best album of 2022. Certainly the one that has caught my attention the most. Pure genius. 👏👏🤘

[@Voivoder]

I clicked, because on the cover it seemed to be a 'golden knight' from Saint Seiya, and I ended up liking the band's sound, congratulations for stoner space band, greetings from Brazil.

This the genuine "Rock' feeling I had in the 1960's, when the great Jam Bands played at the first Rock Festivals. Great Job, Bert

[@emil5884]

Riverside, Pink Floyd, Oresund Space Collective, Grateful Dead, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Astra, The Re-Stoned - this album encapsulates them all. Pretty impressive!

[@DarylBark]

I hear a bit of Hawkwind in there too.🙂

[@dennisnavbussel4525]

Also Steve Vai

[@_zarthix_]

Past 5 years greece has produced amazing music I'm liking it.

[@rmcellig]

I will DEFINITELY feature this on my radio show!!! 😀 It's not often that a band will capture my attention after just a couple of notes. The opening track flows so beautifully!

[@dariogonzalez553]

I'm truly amazed by you music, it's captivating. But I'm more amazed at how KZbin's algorithm actually pushed me something I enjoy and that is a psychedelic rock band from motherf- GREECE! Will be following Naxatras!! Keep up the good work.

[@carolclymer2948]

I agree this was a suggested video and I don't find they suggest anything great, but THIS THO.. Ear heaven!!

[@pane36]

Doom and psychedelia are both alive and well in Greece. I can't believe how many doom records that country produces. Must be something in the water over there :P

[@TheArmyofHades]

This has such an old school feeling to it, i love it with a passion. Most likely the best of your work so far.

[@Bobcatspiritdude]

@@AlexAlcyone You are being sarcastic right

[@HighSideYT]

@@AlexAlcyone it can give floyd vibes without being a replica. you're being a bit hard nosed on how close the guitar sound is, aren't you?....just because you worked with them, gives no reason for such condescending comments. you cant deny it has floyd "vibes". like, at all. zero debate.

[@jorgebillinger]

Cada cual puede interpretar según su experiencia, a mi no me lleva a Pink Floyd, quizá un poco el solo de guitarra, como en tema Time. Es una canción original.

for some unknown reason, this is pretty good to study

[@grey-friar]

WOW! First listen and I like this instantly! I can feel the warm, yet powerful, production and that's always an indicator for me that such an album, must be a grower. The playing and singing is great throughout, from ALL involved, and the flow from song to song is just brilliant, well, at least in my book. Lots of audible references from bands like Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Doors, Kingston Wall, Riverside, America, I even heard some ELOY and Alan Parsons influences in there. Despite that, the band sounds absolutely unique. After the first spin... I must say... close to a masterpiece! Support and love from Germany!!! EDIT: Second spin... It is A MASTERPIECE!!! Thanks for the music guys!!!
