At the core of ÄSTRA’s sound is an urgent collision of raw guitars, vintage synth textures, driving bass and pounding drums. In its current incarnation, Cosme’s commanding vocals, Martin Delahaye’s bass and Guillermo’s visceral drumming transform tension into movement, bringing together melody and grit, warmth and darkness, past and future.

After decades immersed in music, Guillermo has returned to a heavier, more instinctive sound—one that reflects exactly where he is today: “Curious, older, and not afraid to say what I want to say.” His approach is deliberately uncompromising. “I just write music that I would listen to,” he says. “Numbers and streams aren’t irrelevant—but they’re secondary. I want to make something timeless.”

That same philosophy defines ÄSTRA’s live identity.
ÄSTRA is a band built to be experienced on stage.
The recordings establish the atmosphere; the live show turns it into something visceral. Driven by Guillermo’s powerful drumming, Martin’s bass and Cosme’s intensity, the band creates an immersive, physical performance where the energy between the musicians and the audience becomes part of the music itself.

The band has already demonstrated that live force on major stages, including Vive Latino 2023, while collaborating with artists such as Enrique Bunbury on “De La Piel Para Adentro” and Alfonso André on “Navaja.” Those experiences reinforced what ÄSTRA knows instinctively: the band belongs on stage.
As Guillermo puts it: “If you throw us into a festival with a decent soundcheck, it’s going to be ridiculous. The band live is a beast!.”
That animal is about to enter its next chapter.

ÄSTRA’s forthcoming single “Ghost in My Daydream” marks the first preview of a new album arriving in 2027. Written, performed, produced and recorded by Guillermo Morales Vitola at Farside Studios in California, the track was mixed by Andrés Landínez and mastered by Lurssen Mastering.
The new album will be followed by a series of live dates in 2027, bringing ÄSTRA’s uncompromising sound and explosive stage presence to audiences across select venues and festivals.

Guillermo has never been interested in chasing algorithms, trends or manufactured relevance. He wants to make music that lasts—and play it live.
“I hope to be recognized as a good musician,” he says. “Play shows at not-so-big venues, enjoy the experience—for me and for the audience.”
That may be the simplest way to understand ÄSTRA: music created without compromise, and a live band that has to be experienced.

ÄSTRA doesn’t just play. It hits. It moves. It lingers.
And in 2027, the next chapter begins.
