Our third 7” vinyl release split with Karma to Burn on H42 Records has been released and sees us near a vision that we started back in 2010.

To celebrate the release of the third vinyl an exclusive version was made available for "DesertFest". This was the first in the DesertFest series on future split 7” vinyl.

SOAC are nearing completion of our series of vinyl releases including and most notably the "Karma to Burn / Sons of Alpha Centauri" trilogy set.

The exclusive DesertFest vinyl and the third split are all available through the online shop.

Once the vinyl vision has been delivered then "Sons of Alpha Centauri" will conclude the first phase of the band and begin the delivery of "Phase II" due to commence in 2016.

Phase I concludes all of our work from the debut album until now. Phase II will be the commencement on the second album and a new dawning for Sons of Alpha Centauri.
