Artist Bio
We are the crew of The Argonaut. A magnificent space vessel from your distant future. We are tasked to assist the Council Of The Infinite in its quest to maintain order and balance throughout the cosmos. On our most recent mission, one of our crew members, Lieutenant Quade Stone, was infected with a Necronautic Space Virus and thus transformed into our greatest nemesis....X'all The Necronaut.
This villian has proven to be the scourge of the multiverse and will stop at nothing until the entirety of the cosmos is consumed by his malicious plague.
The band continues to expand its universe with the upcoming album 'The Return of X’all', introducing a darker chapter in the conflict against the Necronautic forces.
Does the crew of The Argonaut have what it takes to vanquish this ultimate evil? What adventures await our heroes as they journey through time and space? Is Lieutenant Quade Stone doomed to be the host of this unimaginable darkness? Will space metal reign supreme in the metal genre wars?
All of these questions and more shall be answered!!!

In-House Production
The Argonaut’s creative process is driven from within. The band develops and produces its music in-house at S.A.M Recording Studios, the home studio of Admiral Archmage. This DIY foundation gives the project a high level of creative control across songwriting, arrangement, sonic direction, and overall worldbuilding. By handling production internally, The Argonaut is able to preserve the identity of the project at every stage — keeping the music, atmosphere, and narrative aligned under one unified vision. It also reflects the band’s commitment to building something substantial and self-sustaining from the ground up.

The Argonaut is designed for a high-concept live experience featuring character-driven stage personas, sci-fi themed visuals and props, narrative-inspired music videos, and stylized promotional imagery.
