American Dad! fans will recognize Wax Fang as the singing voice of the Summoner from the classic episode “Lost in Space.” It was one of our favorite musical moments of 2013, and now Wax Fang is gearing up for an exciting 2014, beginning with the debut of their space rock opera, “The Astronaut.” Via Consequence of Sound:
In the works since 2010, “The Astronaut” is a rock-opera in three movements. The story follows a lone space explorer who, after being separated from his ship, is pulled into the icy abyss of a black hole, only to spurt out the other side as a celestial being of immense, inhuman power. Over 40-minutes of bold psychedelic guitar riffs, dramatic glam drums, and even a cacophony of jazz saxophone, frontman Scott Carney tells the tale through soft croons, epic rock melodies, and mad wailings. A tour de force of their talent and flair, the band calls “The Astronaut” “an ode to the wonder, the majesty, and the horror of the universe.”
