Many bands tend to move in one direction only, when there is seeming "progression", but what would that entail? Faster blast beats? Cleaner production, shredding solos? All that is still subject to objectivity! We have simply written unique songs which move in many ways, like branches from the Oaken trunk, each seeking their own way to sun their leaves.

STARGAZER released their debut album The Scream That Tore the Sky on this day in 2005 through Agonia Records.
We accept no philosophy of truth as the One and only truth, for there are many, all spawned of an older source. Often those whom tie down to singular philosophies are drawn to such through cultural influence, whether this life, or previous lives. Other determinations are from experience, whether negative or positive. StarGazer is exclusively "non-affiliated" despite all the offers and attempts at classifications. If the story of Jesus in the Old testament can be traced to older and parallel sources, such as Mithra Religion, many thousands of years before commonly accepted Christ, and then Krishna, Satan, Buddha the same, where does the truth start and end? Do we want miracles and/or history? Some say the Journey is paramount, not the destination. But many crave Destination, in fact it is a control mechanism for those who learnt to wield, and it is apparent today in so many guiles. We chose to identify these and step away from the ascetics, just to observe maybe. It is through this method we have grown into multifarious personalities, musicians and creators. Pilgrims against the Flux.
