Naxatras are a Greek psychedelic rock trio from Thessaloniki, formed in 2012 (originally as a quartet), known for their heavy, spacey jams infused with '70s rock influences and analog production .

Released on February 16, 2018, Naxatras III was recorded completely in analog at Magnetic Fidelity, with engineer Jesus I. Agnew—captured live without any digital processing or edits.

The album features seven expansive tracks, each ranging from 7 to 12 minutes. Predominantly instrumental, it includes a single vocal track, “Prophet,” and delivers a cosmic, space-infused journey through psychedelic soundscapes.

Sonically, the album blends vintage-inspired psychedelic rock, hefty riffs, and jam-oriented grooves, all wrapped in rich, analog warmth and enhanced by dynamic contrasts in tone and texture.

Naxatras III was widely praised, with some reviewers calling it a “minor classic” within the chill and psych-rock community.

Audiophile communities also lauded the vinyl pressing, noting its exceptional clarity, warmth, and minimal surface noise, making it a standout in modern analog releases.

ProgArchives recognized the album as a confident, mature evolution of Naxatras’ signature sound—instrumentally focused and deeply atmospheric.

In short, Naxatras III refines and expands on the band’s earlier work with more focused compositions, a fuller sound, and heightened emotional resonance. It stands as a must-hear for fans of analog psychedelia, offering a vivid, transportive musical experience that bridges the space between the vintage and the cosmic.
