Rolo Tomassi's new album will be released by Destination Moon Records, the band's own label that has already released records by bands including Holland and Kappa Gamma as well as last year's 'Eternal Youth' anthology album.
The band, which was originally founded in Sheffield and is now based between Nottingham and Brighton, will tour the release across the UK and Europe from October.
'Astrea' is the band's first album since Nathan Fairweather and Chris Cayford joined the band at the end of last year, and was recorded by Jason Sanderson. Jason was the man behind the band's debut album 'Hysterics' , and has worked with a host of other bands including 65 Days of Static and Brontide.
'Astraea' will hopefully cement Rolo Tomassi's place as one of the most exciting and expansive bands in the British rock community. The album includes some of the most direct, heaviest tracks the band has ever written including album opener 'Howl' and 'Echopraxia', which sees the band at their most technical, as well as a number of songs that showcases the band's melodic progressive side including 'Illuminare', which highlights the lighter beauty of Eva Spence's vocals.
