1. A Swedish … Read Full Bio ↴There are three acts making music under the name Asteroid:
1. A Swedish psychedellic / space-rock band;
2. An electronic solo musician from the Netherlands;
3. A changing group of improvising musicians from London.
1. Heavy, progressive Swedish spaced-out 70's-style fuzzrock. The band was formed in the winter of 2003-2004. Releases: "Demo 2004", "Ep 2005", "Asteroid & Blowback" (Fuzz Split 2006, Release April 2006 by Fuzzorama Records), "Asteroid" (2007), II (2010). The history of Asteroid is a psychedelic space saga, timeless and endless, with no upside or downside, but with a beautiful ending. The band, formed during the winter of 2003, has undertaken a long musical journey and developed a sound well fit to the trio constellation. After being formed as a regular stoner band, it didnt take long before new grounds were conquered. Since then, influences have been collected from blues and British 70s classic rock, but also from Swedish traditional folk music. Asteroid is now back with their second album, called simply II. It is a more evolved but also relaxed and groovy follow up to their highly acclaimed debut album S/T. This time they locked themselves up in a studio deep in the forest, trying to capture the raw and naked sound and feeling in their music. You will hear a tighter, heavier, but also darker Asteroid. You will still recognize the characteristic energy in the sound and feel the joy delivered by the musicians. This record is like transporting yourself back to the psychedelic woods of Sweden, but unlike other 70s influences bands this is also fresh and unique on its own. Asteroid is today a well-known live act all over Europe with constant touring and a reputation of wild and sweaty live shows. Hold on to your hats!
2. Asteroid is an alias for a 23 year old young man called Jonathan, who lives in Kampen, The Netherlands. his songs are a mix of melodic progressive breaks, drum 'n bass, lounge, and a tiny bit of industrial.
He started mixing and producing in early 2005. He's always focussed on producing spatial and spacey melodies, i.e., lots of strings and reverb.
3. Asteroid is a changing group of improvising musicians formed in 2011, making drone, noise and sci-fi soundscapes. Members have included Kevin Quigley, Graham Dunning, Nabil Ahmed, Jo Thomas, Christos Fanaros, Mark Wagner, Colin Webster and Farooq Janjua.

Asteroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The circle complete so the line has to bend
If I am like you, are we all telling lies?
What will you believe in the day that you die?
All that we are and never will be
A dot on a line or a drop in the sea
Some stories begin as they come to an end
If I am like you, are we all telling lies?
What will you believe in the day that you die?
All that we are and never will be
A dot on a line or a drop in the sea
The lyrics of Asteroid's song "Towers" speak to the idea of life being a continuous cycle, where stories and experiences come full circle before ending. The lyrics suggest that if one person is telling a lie, then it is possible that everyone else is too. The last line of the chorus, "All that we are and never will be, a dot on a line or a drop in the sea," implies that life is fleeting and ephemeral, and that even though we may think our experiences are significant, in the grand scheme of things, they are relatively insignificant.
The lines "Some stories begin as they come to an end, the circle complete so the line has to bend" possibly refer to the idea that life is cyclical and that every ending leads directly to a new beginning. It may also speak to the idea that every experience in our lives is related to the past and will eventually be related to the future. The lines "If I am like you, are we all telling lies? What will you believe in the day that you die?" might relate to the idea that if we all believe in the same things that may not be truthful, then they become the truth.
In conclusion, the lyrics of Asteroid's song "Towers" speak to the idea of life being circular, the prevalence of lies, the insignificance of our experiences, and the fleeting nature of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Some stories begin as they come to an end
Sometimes the ending of a story is predetermined and inevitable, even from the beginning.
The circle complete so the line has to bend
All things in life must eventually come to an end, and the path leading to that end will inevitably change and curve.
If I am like you, are we all telling lies?
If we are all similar in nature, perhaps we are all living in a world of falsehoods and are not being true to ourselves.
What will you believe in the day that you die?
In the face of death, what will be the ultimate truth or belief for oneself?
All that we are and never will be
The entirety of our existence, including all the possibilities and paths we could have taken but did not.
A dot on a line or a drop in the sea
In the grand scheme of things, we are insignificant and minuscule compared to the vastness of the universe.
