Anyone that tries to tell you "all new music is bad" pull this bad boy out for them.
Thank you American Dad for using these guys in their soundtrack and bringing me here to listen to this and having my mind blown.
dookiboy
glad im not the only one that listens to both of these bands because of American Dad.
Likewise!
m2350 It's hard to find good bands these days without the record stores, thanks to AD for introducing people to this band!
Mike Guizzetti Could have done without My Morning Jacket though
Andrew Hedrick Why? MMJ is a pretty good band, probably not as good as Wax Fang, but come on, you've got to admit they have some pretty catchy songs.
This is real music.... Reminds me of Pink Floyd.
@Ja Ja DingDong Respectfully, naw
agreed. especially shine on you crazy diamonds. that stretched feeling that could go on for ever. they managed to perfect it in their own way
So much!
holy shit ... I didn't think they made music like this anymore.
When your sat at a bbq and your friend shows you American Dad.
Never realised I would end up balls deep in wax fang albums
at 63 years old... this band has brought me back to music..
Total fuchin awesome!!! they are Pink Floyd, Moody Blues and Traffic rolled into one.
Im 77 and it reminds of the years i cant remember......feed your head
@@Teamplayer-bs2hi Are you fuck
i can't belive how new this band is. i honestly thought i was listening to something from the 70's
Tru.
This is a̶l̶3̶6̶9̶9̶ ..GOOGLE'S CHANNEL me too ^^
They are really awesome!!
This is a̶l̶3̶6̶9̶9̶ ..GOOGLE'S CHANNEL I'm excited to hear what else they'll come out with.
sound echoes...
Yep. If you want another band with a similar effect... check out Black Mountain. Especially their most recent album, IV.
Such Pink Floyd vibes.... Amazing, truly amazing...
The build and the crescendo at 28:45 or so tears me apart. It's crushing. I hear so many influences in this music. PLEASE COME OUT WEST!
I wish I could eat that part of the song and absorb it's musical nutrients.
This band is awesome thank you American Dad for showing the way. And thank you shrooms for the trip
….. I’m telling everyone. Thank you boys for the absolute buffet to feed my soul. we’re gonna make it!
Now the American dad buzz has died down it's interesting to see who is still listening to these guys. Happy to say that I am and am hoping for a lot more of the same to follow.
sticks 1234 i still listen and yes, American Dad brought me here. These guys are great.
Same here Greg!
It’s been 5 years since your comment. Funny to see someone say “now that the buzz from x has died down”
Wax Fang still reaches me the way it first did when I heard Majestic on American Dad.
Me...7 years on....
Still here

5 The Astronaut, Part 3 33:40
Because of the seamless transition between songs in this masterpiece it was difficult to discern the cusp of each song. That should get close though
+timburton7 this is indeed a masterpiece!
you da real mvp
Thanks from the future 😉🙄🤘
It's really well done and it's like one continuous song
Thank you oh brave one♥️
The last 6 mins of this album are blissful to my ears.
I can't help raising my hands and screaming when it gets to 39:40 because I feel like I'm an angry space ghost as well.
Pink Floyd, ELO, David Bowie, The Pixies, and Queen all got together and had an amazing baby. That's the only explanation I can come up with for how awesome this was.
A baby raised by Tangerine Dream, maybe?
With Melvins as the influential uncle.
David Bruce With Muse attending the baby shower
Having given it a listen again I have to say the Moody Blues must have been the wacky neighbor.
Tyler The Ultimate Badass radiohead*
I was recently turned on to these guys after watching an episode of American Dad, The Majestic. I had to know who was doing the music, and discovered Wax Fang! amazing band!!!! love this album!! "OPEN MY EYES, OPEN MY HEART, OPEN MY MIND"...
Everyone is saying they hear Pink Floyd and sure enough I too hear the influences of Pink. It's just that I also hear tones of The Who's "Quadrophenia" influencing them as well. I'd also bet that there are some Meatloaf influences mixed in here as well.
I think it's obvious that this band was inspired by all the GREAT dramatic Rock acts we older folks have enjoyed over the years. I'm just happy to find an act from the newer generation that's making music like this for their fans, the same way that us older folks once had our faves doing for us to enjoy. I really hope this act finds the spotlight and the eventual success that they deserve for writing such magical music!!! It's sad to me that this song has been around for a while and didn't really get the profitable recognition that it deserves. I found the song through "American Dad's" use of it in the episode where Jeff disappears. On a side note, I read a great article about why this song was used by the writer of that episode.
Aye just a note for anybody that really loves this album.
The vinyl is only 15 dollars on their merch site.
And yet i still find myself here listening to it on the ride to work!
The stars don't want to shine on me
It's just a waste of time and energy
paddling around through space
Then we took it down from this place
It's so hard to breathe in here
Can anybody please hear me out there?
Death from life
Life from death
Time does not existDeath is our limit
Time years is a lie
Poisoning our minds
Hanna lead only me into the unknown
Hanna leave quietly let me please go home
All that has and always will be
Memories/Fantasies all you need
Oh am, am I, am I dieing?
Please kill me
Break from, to, the light
We will kill the night
Energy tearing into me and announce my sorrow
Energy scattering into me it fills my heart up
I can't believe my eyes
This is madness
Rise from the ashes
From the abysall
I've transcended
Darkness let me out
Across the plane of no escape
Forces of gravity have come apart,
Come apartShattering into a billion pieces,
Somehow my mind is sharp as a knife
Is this really happening?
I feel my body reassembling
When will this illusion end?
I miss my wife, I miss my children
Fire and ice flow through my veins,
Memories, they flood my brain
Synapses are firing at a rate
Which I cannot explain
Suddenly I have a feeling
That I am no longer human,
I can't tell where my skin ends
And the space around me, it begins
No need to breathe,
No need to eat,
No need to sleep,
I believe that I'm becoming alive with atoms of life
And now I've got to open my eyes,
Open my mind, open my heart, open everything I've got up to the divine, to the universe inside
Is this really happening?
I feel our solar system nearing
Lovely as all this has been
I miss my wife, I miss my children
I miss my wife and I miss my children.
Miss my wife and I miss my children
From the abyss, I'm dead, I'm risen,
I've got to find out... my children...
Permission to go...
Find out...
See...
Tell them I'm coming,
Tell them I'm coming,
Tell them I'm coming, coming, coming...
Don't think it's quite right?
'Can't wait to get down from this place`
What really happened to MAJOR TOM.
'Hurtling around through space'...
Thank you American dad, thank you drugs.
great man...
exact same way i found this
jack-otto if you were tripping on DMT you wouldn’t want to write. Also one DMT trip lasts about half the length of this album.
I found this from a friendly commenter, I greatly appreciate him/her
Yuuup
its bands like these that give me faith in music modern music will die bringing a new era of rock and REAL music
I F agree
Hopefully.
My edible just kicked in wish me luck folks
Criminally underated by definition
After 28:40 it gets really difficult not get the chills
I absolutely love this album, I got it on Vinyl.
So sry how late i am to this party, but holy faahk. What an album, what a band🙏
53 years old, love Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Camel, ELP....this is any of those bands might have made this, these guys parents( who would be my age) right. There is hope for prog rock and the future! 420
I non-sarcastically love the part at the beginning that stops 3 notes into the riff from In The Flesh.
Dang I'm glad I finally checked you guys out
This band is like the mars volta got together with floyd thats a good thought.
This reminds me of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
So this is basically a 2010's version of Pink Floyd's "Echoes".
I love it!
I never comment on videos, especially music, but my god this is art, and I dont even listen to very much rock. Now I am going to though... Probably getting this on vinyl. Damn, I am still in shock at the beauty.
There's aren't many albums ive listened to beginning to end 20+ times... but this one is special
Magnificent album. Driving down Bardstown Rd, "Astronaut Pt. 3" came on the radio. Bought the vinyl. You should be proud of this one.
Ha, Louisville here too!!!
Queen Floyd.... Amazing!
absolutely wonderful. this band has revived my heart and mind in a way I never thought could happen. I love losing myself in music and this provides a tether for me the listener to safely swim the vast expanse of my own inner universe
just added "buy HQ version of wax fang - astronaut" to my todo list.
i love the grim album blossoming into astronaut part 3.
love it.
3 years later, still the best band in the world.
Cried by the end of The Astronaut part 3, when the guitar kicks in. This is a masterpiece.
When i close my eyes. I can feel what they play! Awesome!!! Greetings from Germany ✌
y'know I think I found a full chill music that actually works perfectly.
Dudes voice is straight up Jello Biafra, but over psychedelic rock. Love everything about it
Excellent sound. Had never heard of this band until today. very very impressive. Keep up the great work, Wax Fang!
Great show great band...holy golden poop with precious stones
This is my favorite song. I listen to it almost every day. all 40 minutes.
You guys honestly rule!#1
35:05. pure groove, forces of gravity have come apart...
I discovered this album 3 months ago, and every single time I listen to it, I feel transported to another dimension. I feel like I am this astronaut, lost in the unknown, out of his comfort zone and travelling through all the different moods a human can experience.
Thank you for making great music, truly my favourite album of 2015 by far.
L33TsMusic , Man, I feel the same way. Not kidding, I put this album on, and by the time it is done, I need to literally sit there for a second, and "come back" so to speak... The best band out right now, bar none, bold statement, but I stand by it.....
You mean 2014
The year is 2021 and this is still blowing my mind
MAJESTIC MADE ME TINGLY IN MY MAJESTICLES... if ya know what i mean...
I have no idea. Explain and describe your majesticles in graphic detail.
"Science is a lie", I love it! "Is this all there is?". I love the groove during the last part, as well!

+Wax Fang you guys are great hoping for more in the future
+Wax Fang Rerelease your cover of Halloween. It was epic!
+Wax Fang Hey guys thanks for your great work. Keep it up. Is the part at 26:44 named or is it just called Part 2? I am now addicted to this Lp and your music to and so i cant stop playin it at my piano its the best way to relax for me. Thank you
+Toni K
astronaut part1,2,3 have lyrics. the instrumentals are event horizon and the singularity. singularity comes after pt. 2
D'Angelo
Well thousand thx for this information, Sir. Have a nice day
it sounds so inspired by pink floyd and david bowie, it's amazing to finally hear a modern band with so much technical skill and real knowledge in making songs mean something through not just the lyrics but the melody too. wax fang belongs in the era of queen, but sadly are under appreciated in a world full of dubstep
Not even high yet and im still tripping out to this song ! So glad i discovered wax fang, perfect band for psychedelic drugs.
where have you guys been all this years?! now i have to start wake and bake again - thanks
Seriously epic, that opening guitar blew me away.
Saw these guys in concert in STL yesterday. They're just as awesome live. They deserve a bigger venue.
Yeah really thank you American Dad. Jesus. What a phenomenal piece of music.
Listen to this on LSD and hashish it’s amazing. Reminds me of Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and Bowie and Alice Cooper, sometimes the music reminds me of Bauhaus but more this century. My niece turned me onto Wax Fang. She knows I’m an old space cadet and I’d love them, she was right. Hypnotising in its transcendent, epic beauty.
It's a space rock opera about The Astronaut who is paddling around through space, he got himself into a black hole, where he has trouble breathing because time does not exist there.
As energy is quietly ripping flesh from his bones, he wants to die already but right then he can't believe his eyes - he has transcended. It is then, when the forces of gravity have come apart, shattering into a billion pieces, he feels his body reassembling, can not explain all overwhelming, sudden memories, especially of his wife and children. Suddenly he has a feeling that he is no longer human, leaving his body and opening to the universe.
He feels he's getting back near the solar system and lovely as this all has been, he still misses his wife, his children. He needs to find out where his children are, is wondering if they can see him coming and just wants to call them.
Sort of. This album has been on my regular playlist for some years now, I've memorized most of the lyrics, but never really bothered to go through them and guess what they might mean.
Thank you random reddit thread from four years ago.
Now, this is what good headphones were made for! Bravo...
the first song is very mastodon inspired, love it
can you give me a mastodon's song? I want to discover this group but I don't know how
@@victordubois5648 start listening to the album 'once more around the sun' and then go backwards from there down the discography
Wow, this piece is so hovering ...
The first part is crazy, the beginning of the song takes us directly into the bottom ends of the universe.
Love it, I consider this album as a single piece, it is so well thought...
I think it's my favorite song.
Congratulation Wax Fang
This reminds me so much of Rushs 2112. I love long story songs like this
The bass line at 20:21 - 20:45 is the best.
Holy wow. This is one of the best bands I've heard in quite some time.
I like this band! They let me remember that I come from another organ and that I come from a different moment in the creater we all live in
Soon peace will guide the planet and love will steer the stars
I love this...it's like Pink Floyd meets Radiohead. Hauntingly enjoyable from beginning to end. Could good music be making a comeback? Please keep recording!
loads of good music about, always will be - stop listening to commercial radio
With a healthy dose of 70's Rush.
Never have I ever wanted tabs this badly before
Listened to the full thing and it didn't even feel like 10 minutes. That's how good it was.
I have listened to this album so many times and it is amazing each time. I recommend this to any music lover.
Good trance rock. Dreamy, but gritty enough to create a discrete space.
amazing! I'm remembering my Ayylmaos ancestors! jumping out of my time..
Back again today. I needed a good tranquil stretch of music to start off a long afternoon as this one has all the pieces that make the day just a little better
This is a fantastic album, it strikes a near perfect balance of the old and the new and is, appropriately enough, a great space rock album. The finale was especially great, "The Astronaut Part 3" was in my head all day, and I didn't mind one bit. Definitely buying a copy, thanks for letting us sample it for free though!
had to stay up for about 27 hours to finish an assignment for college, played this for the vast majority of it on repeat, now it just makes me stressed and sad :(
touched my soul
I get chills everytime I listen to this masterpiece. Thank you for the beautiful music. ❤
Absolutely love it. I don't know why I hadn't heard of Wax Fang earlier.
Words cannot express how happy this makes me
Avant guardian Angel Dust is my all time favourite. Ever ❤️
Wow! From start to finish, so amazing.
Sounds great, I'll be on the lookout for this on my next record store trip.
BEST ROCK BAND EVER!!
Opening track is that of heaven man. Perfection.
So much YES with this Album!!!!
just blew my mind how are you guys not more popular
This album is fantastic.
This is a really stellar album! I'll have to get a vinyl or CD next pay.
IM ADDING THIS ONE TO THE TRIP PLAYLIST
check out Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album for your trip list XD
This is good, but as far as Pink Floyd is concerned, Meddle is way better than Umma Gumma. Close your eyes and see the music. Porcupine Trees is decent as well.
i love this entire album it's just like fly above the stars
this would sound fucking spectacular cranked up on vinyl
FLoYdInPink I actually just bought the LP. So stoked to listen to it.
Wax fang is one of my 3 favourite bands, also I got a mug of hot cocoa while listening to this, it was epic
please keep making music your music is just tooo damn good like classic's mix with 80s guitar its amazing
Man, I was drunk off my hinder when I listened to this, and I just sat here, transfixed. Good album to get inebriated by.
Incredible. This is the kind of stuff I would do if I had the talent.
Bought the album this week. Its phenomenal guys. I first heard about you on a Cracked.com podcast where World War 2 (part 2) was played briefly. Love that song - love this entire album. Fantastic job.
