The Cosmic Dead are an amorphous blob of space rock energy hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. Their exploratory compositions often reach levels of sonic destruction through reflective repetition and visceral harmony.
The band has taken many forms since forming in 2010 and has been declared ‘The loudest psychedelic rock band on the planet.” by legendary compere Kozmik Ken. At the base of the current sonic obliteration team is a rhythm section of Tommy Duffin and Omar Aborida, a thunderous and cohesive unit which is then further propelled into the outer realms by Luigi Pasquini providing frantic Italo synthesized electronics along with Calum Calderwood’s mind bending, sky-shattering fiddle acrobatics.
Writing about our video premiere, ‘Stronger’, the band say:
“We finally found our way to a shorter track! ‘Stronger’ is an improvisation borne out of a synth pattern and brought to life here as a studio live take, the track was formed in the Beyond The Beyond sessions at Dystopia Recording Studio in our hometown of Glasgow. The video is inspired by the idea of evolutionary growth, with cephalopods developing as the song grows, taking in outside information and growing stronger towards their next form, something that we felt was mirrored in the improvisation and mixing process.”
Beyond The Beyond is the highly anticipated tenth studio album from these inter-dimensional space travelling explorers. The album takes listeners on a four-track expedition into the deepest cosmos of the band. Recorded at Dystopia Recording Studio in Glasgow, Beyond The Beyond features the riff-rolling rhythm section of Tommy Duffin on drums and Omar Aborida on bass guitar alongside soaring fiddle acrobatics from Calum Calderwood and electronic textural bleeps and bloops from Luigi Pasquini’s synthesizers, all wah laden and with phasers set to destroy. Turn on, tune in and immerse yourself in the sound of The Cosmic Dead.
Beyond the Beyond is released on April 17 2026 via Heavy Psych Sounds and can be pre-ordered HERE and HERE.
