The Canadian prog/psych quartet, which features Voivod's Michel 'Away' Langevin on drums, is rounded out by guitarist Jetphil (Paradise), bassist Vincent Peake (Groovy Aardvark/Grim Skunk) and keyboardist/programmer Alex Crow

Says Langevin about KOSMOS, "We're a progrock collective from Montreal, Canada and we're influenced by the 70's Krautrock scene and avant-garde music."
 
The 12 tracks found on KOSMOS offer journeys through cosmic prog psychedelia, a spaceship built for fans of Hawkwind, Amon Duul II, Zombi and Monster Magnet.

What the critics are saying:

"Kosmos is a unique blend of ???70s nostalgia coupled with a crazy alien drummer counting off 21st century beats." - ASSOCIATED PRESS

"VOIVOD drummer Michel Langevin takes you "away" to distant planets filled with hazy hallucinogens
and retro-groove - a sizzling, sensory salute to an era of mind-bending creation." - BW&BK
 
"Diverse, cool instrumental jazz fusion set against the backdrop of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Good stuff!" - METAL MANIACS
 
"Kosmos are intent on slipping the surly bonds of Earth, fuelled by insatiable enthusiasm for Can and Kraftwerk to create this concise cluster of Euro-prog explorations mixed with unexpected detours into heavy rock raveups and fuzz punk." - UNRESTRAINED!
 
"...swirling stew of psych, prog...If Ash Ra Tempel, Hawkwind, and Neu! mean anything to you, this album is a must-have." - INVISIBLE ORANGES

KOSMOS BIO: Our cosmological investigations have always ended with the same hypothesis: there must be a self-causing prime mover. If this is true of our world, then it is even truer for the world of Kosmos, where our prime mover is a synthesis of one idea, and four single-minded musicians. The idea first appeared as ideas usually do: nascent and uncertain, yet brimming with potential.
