Astrosoniq (sometimes spelled A5tro5oniq) is a band from Oss, Netherlands.

Each of their album covers features hair growing out of skin. Sometimes a woman, sometimes a man, or sometimes a circle of flesh surrounded by hair.[1]

Musical style

They integrate sound clips from old movies, Wonder Woman episodes and other sources. Most continue the themes of fantasy and space, but some discuss the music itself.
