From the forefront of Austin thrash, a unique and singular take on the genre by taking it into more futuristic Voivod-esque dystopian realms. 

For fans of Voivod, Power Trip, and modern day forward-thinking thrash metal. Produced and recorded / mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at Godcity Studios. 

Originating from Austin, TX, Expander has subverted traditional band trajectories to receive global recognition of their unique brand of futuristic metalpunk since forming in 2014. With their second full-length album, Neuropunk Boostergang, the group aggressively channels the anxieties foisted on the audience from oppressive systems, using every weapon at their disposal: pummeling rhythms, transcendent melodies and wild vocal deliveries that keep listeners on guard for whatever might come crawling from the wastes next.

This record marks the band’s return to God City, again utilizing the state-of-the-art studio to capture every nuance of the raw energy contained within these potent audio capsules. The result is a glimpse into a barbarous future where traditional riffs get flipped on their head, anti-gravity rhythms pull one in different directions, and supernatural voices jack-in to the skull to command attention.

Should one retain their humanity in the face of constant neurological assault? Is the physical body altogether obsolete? What otherworldly landscapes plagued by grotesque overlords will one find themselves surviving next? With Neuropunk Boostergang, Expander mercilessly answers these questions with the fist of flesh and mind of machine.
