Rising from Stavanger’s frozen wastelands, Kal-El return with “Astral Voyager Vol. 1,” their most mind-expanding expedition yet and the first chapter of an ambitious double-album assault to tear through space and time! The Captain‘s distinctive soaring vocals cut through walls of crushing heaviness and earworm melodies, while martial drumming and earth-shaking grooves keep the vessel on course at all times.
Stamped with their trademark rocket-fueled scandi-stoner power, this sonic journey winds through tough tempos and headbanging chaos while hitting ethereal zones where overdriven guitars pierce the stratosphere. Six tracks of pure sci-fi stoner fuzz and a must-hear for fans of Dozer, Lowrider, Truckfighters, Domkraft!

Formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2012, Kal-El established as a unique force in the international Stoner and Doom Metal community by blending Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Psychedelic, and Doom elements with science fiction themes. Their journey began with the release of “Dark Moon Voyage” EP in 2013, quickly gaining recognition as the top new Rock act on NRK Urørt, Norway’s platform for emerging music.
The band’s evolution has seen them release multiple acclaimed albums through various labels, including their debut “Pakal” (2014, Wormhole Death Records), “Ecosphere” (2015, Setalight Records), “Astrodoomeda” (2017, Argonauta Records), and the breakthrough “Witches of Mars” (2019). 2021’s “Dark Majesty” through Majestic Mountain Records marked a significant milestone in their cosmic journey, followed by 2023’s “Moon People” EP.
Kal-El‘s signature sound, characterized by bass-Heavy grooves, downtuned guitars, and mind-expanding lyrics, is deeply rooted in the sci-fi narratives penned by vocalist “The Captain” himself. Having toured extensively across Europe and the United States, they continue to push genre boundaries while maintaining their commitment to vintage sci-fi aesthetics and thundering Stoner Metal.
