Even though Astroqueen first made their debut in the summer of 1998, the individual members played in a number of various metal bands throughout their scene of Gothenburg, Sweden. Johan Backman (drums), Mattias Wester (bass), Daniel Tolergård (guitar), and Daniel Änghede (guitar/vocals) were inspired to churn out their own fuzz of spaced-out '70s retro-metal that looked up to the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:5M52tdBnJaKSvOpJGz8mfZ">Black Sabbath</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6mdiAmATAx73kdxrNrnlao">Iron Maiden</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3HCpwNmFp2rvjkdjTs4uxs">Kyuss</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5xUf6j4upBrXZPg6AI4MRK">Soundgarden</a>. After a handful of compilation appearances, Monster Zero Records released Astroqueen's debut EP in 1999. Following the 2000 self-released 7" Rufus the Space Agent, the band signed to Pavement Music that same year. Into Submission, the band's first full-length, appeared in spring 2001. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
