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.
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.
Reminds me of Swans, reminds me of Godspeed You Black Emperor, reminds me of Radiohead, reminds me of Pink Floyd, reminds me of God Is An Astronaut, reminds me of Bowie. All while being it's own amazing thing.
The Astronaut Album by Wax Fang Release date: 2014 Artist: Wax Fang Songs 1 The Astronaut, Part 1 00:00 2 The Event Horizon 16:48 3 The Astronaut, Part 2 18:31 4 The Signularity 30:32 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
I thought exactly the same! I think it's done on purpose as an hommage to PF because all the tracks of the album follow each other without stoping like Dark Side of the Moon (I believe that's the one where you can listen to the whole album as one song), also there's the moment where you here echoe sounds! Like Echoes by PF, my favorite one of the band!
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"...
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!
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.....
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 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.
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

+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
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.
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.
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
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
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
There's nothing wrong with dubstep. Like everything else that has ever been at any time in the history of human artistic expression, there's a sea of shit that you have to sift through to find the gold.
I don't hear it at all. I hear a lot of "Echoes," Dream Theater, The Mars Volta from their Frances the Mute era and a dash of Bowie but I can't hear Mastodon, and I love Mastodon. Of which track in particular does this remind you?
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.
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...it's like Pink Floyd meets Radiohead. Hauntingly enjoyable from beginning to end. Could good music be making a comeback? Please keep recording!
This is quite literally my favorite album of all time. Thank you to American Dad for introducing me to Wax Fang, and thank you to Wax Fang for making such phenomenal music!
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 :(
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
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...
Wrong. Mistakes everywhere. Screwing up the "Pain is our limit" line is the one that somehow irritates me the most, probably because it's one of the most important lines in Part 2.
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!
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.
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.
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
With a dash of Rush also :]
Anyone that tries to tell you "all new music is bad" pull this bad boy out for them.
holy shit ... I didn't think they made music like this anymore.
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!
@@Pillar_of_Salt you clearly dont know the floyd to say that
@@Vlad-si9xs Hey man, the comment I was responding to no longer exists. I love Floyd.
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
….. I’m telling everyone. Thank you boys for the absolute buffet to feed my soul. we’re gonna make it!
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
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.
Reminds me of Swans, reminds me of Godspeed You Black Emperor, reminds me of Radiohead, reminds me of Pink Floyd, reminds me of God Is An Astronaut, reminds me of Bowie. All while being it's own amazing thing.
Mental to think this is 10 years old already, I remember listening when it was first released and thinking this is a masterpiece of an album
The Astronaut
Album by Wax Fang
Release date: 2014
Artist: Wax Fang
Songs
1 The Astronaut, Part 1 00:00
2 The Event Horizon 16:48
3 The Astronaut, Part 2 18:31
4 The Signularity 30:32
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♥️
Such Pink Floyd vibes.... Amazing, truly amazing...
I thought exactly the same! I think it's done on purpose as an hommage to PF because all the tracks of the album follow each other without stoping like Dark Side of the Moon (I believe that's the one where you can listen to the whole album as one song), also there's the moment where you here echoe sounds! Like Echoes by PF, my favorite one of the band!
This band is awesome thank you American Dad for showing the way. And thank you shrooms for the trip
I owe American Dad another one, great songs
The last 6 mins of this album are blissful to my ears.
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"...
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!
After 28:40 it gets really difficult not get the chills
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.

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.
There's aren't many albums ive listened to beginning to end 20+ times... but this one is special
I absolutely love this album, I got it on Vinyl.
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.
When i close my eyes. I can feel what they play! Awesome!!! Greetings from Germany ✌
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

+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
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.
Excellent sound. Had never heard of this band until today. very very impressive. Keep up the great work, Wax Fang!
Saw these guys in concert in STL yesterday. They're just as awesome live. They deserve a bigger venue.
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!!!
This is my favorite song. I listen to it almost every day. all 40 minutes.
So sry how late i am to this party, but holy faahk. What an album, what a band🙏
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.

3 years later, still the best band in the world.
Seriously epic, that opening guitar blew me away.
This sound like a song you would listen to when your high.
"would" why dont you do it?
oh now I know why I hear it every night and like it so much.
Woah you are a clairvoyant :O
Not even high yet and im still tripping out to this song ! So glad i discovered wax fang, perfect band for psychedelic drugs.
Cried by the end of The Astronaut part 3, when the guitar kicks in. This is a masterpiece.
where have you guys been all this years?! now i have to start wake and bake again - thanks
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.
You guys honestly rule!#1
I non-sarcastically love the part at the beginning that stops 3 notes into the riff from In The Flesh.
I have listened to this album so many times and it is amazing each time. I recommend this to any music lover.
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
Great show great band...holy golden poop with precious stones
Criminally underated by definition
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*
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
Dang I'm glad I finally checked you guys out
I can't wait to play their whole discography in my car tomorrow. New Fav band....
Queen Floyd.... Amazing!
The year is 2021 and this is still blowing my mind
35:05. pure groove, forces of gravity have come apart...
Holy wow. This is one of the best bands I've heard in quite some time.
Listened to the full thing and it didn't even feel like 10 minutes. That's how good it was.
Now, this is what good headphones were made for! Bravo...
The bass line at 20:21 - 20:45 is the best.
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
y'know I think I found a full chill music that actually works perfectly.
this isn't really chill, it just builds and builds until it explodes
👍👍 Awesome mix synth and instrumentals! Highest Marks to you!
This band is like the mars volta got together with floyd thats a good thought.
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
There's nothing wrong with dubstep. Like everything else that has ever been at any time in the history of human artistic expression, there's a sea of shit that you have to sift through to find the gold.
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
I don't hear it at all. I hear a lot of "Echoes," Dream Theater, The Mars Volta from their Frances the Mute era and a dash of Bowie but I can't hear Mastodon, and I love Mastodon. Of which track in particular does this remind you?
Dudes voice is straight up Jello Biafra, but over psychedelic rock. Love everything about it
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.
Absolutely love it. I don't know why I hadn't heard of Wax Fang earlier.
My favorite part was from 0:00-40:26
how original
Sweet!! Mine too!!!
Truth the oldest thing there is.
The T.C. ...And the rarest.
I disliked 40:26
So this is basically a 2010's version of Pink Floyd's "Echoes".
I love it!
I get chills everytime I listen to this masterpiece. Thank you for the beautiful music. ❤
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.
This reminds me of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Godspeed and The Mars Volta circa Frances the Mute, especially the final movement in Cassandra Gemini. The saxophones in particular.
Words cannot express how happy this makes me
Incredible. This is the kind of stuff I would do if I had the talent.
just blew my mind how are you guys not more popular
"Science is a lie", I love it! "Is this all there is?". I love the groove during the last part, as well!
It's "Time is yet a lie." Not "Science is a lie."
This reminds me so much of Rushs 2112. I love long story songs like this
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.
Opening track is that of heaven man. Perfection.
Sounds great, I'll be on the lookout for this on my next record store trip.
This is quite literally my favorite album of all time. Thank you to American Dad for introducing me to Wax Fang, and thank you to Wax Fang for making such phenomenal music!
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 :(
Good trance rock. Dreamy, but gritty enough to create a discrete space.
I dont know what the fuck is going on here, but its enthralling.
This album is fantastic.
Never have I ever wanted tabs this badly before
Wow! From start to finish, so amazing.
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
Superb Recording. Great job!
I bought this record and I do not regret it one bit.
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.
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'...
Wrong. Mistakes everywhere. Screwing up the "Pain is our limit" line is the one that somehow irritates me the most, probably because it's one of the most important lines in Part 2.
amazing! I'm remembering my Ayylmaos ancestors! jumping out of my time..
This album is so amazing to sit though.
it sounds so familiar but still different, awesome
I'm sad this has so few views. this is truly a great Album
This is a really stellar album! I'll have to get a vinyl or CD next pay.
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!
