"The continuation of a multi-dimensional journey, Astral Voyager Vol. 2 picks up with interstellar bounty hunter Mica evading pursuit by The Nine as she traverses time and space to bring in her marks. An infectious blast of sci-fi metal and soaring desert anthems, Astral Voyager Vol. 2 is a record about the dangers of manipulation and struggling for individuality against the unseen powers who try to keep people compliant and controlled. Powerplay Magazine called Astral Voyager Vol. 1 'a storming, righteous, red-hot hunk of stoner-psych,' while Witching Buzz said, 'Kal-El don't just gaze at the stars; they chart them' and Slightly Fuzzed proclaimed the album 'A must-hear for stoner rock disciples and cosmic doom wanderers alike.'"

"Set controls for the infinite expanse with staggering new epic Astral Voyager from KAL-EL. Formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2012, KAL-EL established themselves as a unique force in the international heavy underground, blending Scandinavian desert-style rock, classic metal, psychedelia and doom elements with ambitious sci-fi themes. After a profuse series of mind-expanding journeys through spacetime (five albums and three EPs from 2013 to 2023), the band are back with the most significant milestone in their multi-dimensional journey yet. Astral Voyager Vol. 1 tells the saga of intergalactic bounty hunter Mica, who trades in taking down the scum of the universe while dodging The Nine, a control-obsessed consortium that seeks to dominate her as they do the rest of the cosmos. Traveling and bringing in her marks, Mica's journey is a story of hope, individuality and searching for meaning in the unknown. Presented in two volumes during 2025, the Astral Voyager double album is the strongest realization of KAL-EL's signature sonic approach to date. Full of downtuned grooves, soaring anthems and vintage sci-fi aesthetics, it's an explosion of contagious fuzz-blues from Scandinavia's prolific and impressive masters of starfaring heaviness!"
