I received this new album, "Broken Balance", from Astra without having any previous experience with this progressive metal band.
Astra hails from Italy, and shouldn't be confused with Astra, the psychedelic rock band from the USA. I can understand the confusion over the name, as I was even a bit taken aback when this album blazed into my ears. Astra is a far cry from prog rock, and are indeed a full-on progressive metal band. Yes, the music is pretty loud. Interestingly, I don't hear much of the standard progressive metal styles in their music, though.
