Chilean prog-metal band Intrascendence release “Astral Session Live at Foster Observatory,” a filmed live performance captured at the historic Foster Observatory in Chile. Founded in 1903, the observatory provides the setting for the session, with the band performing alongside its original mechanical dome. The project documents Intrascendence’s live sound in a site associated with scientific research, pairing extended-range guitars and dense arrangements with the observatory’s preserved architecture.
The video was produced with a minimalist cinematic approach by OnStage Productions, with audio production and mastering handled by Franco Gabelo. Vocalist Felipe Reyes and guitarist Rodrigo Del Canto describe the session as an effort to present the band’s unaltered live performance within a space tied to exploration and knowledge. The release follows a strong 2025 for the band after their self-titled debut and arrives ahead of their scheduled appearance at CL Prog 2026, one of Latin America’s leading progressive music festivals.
