ATAVIST - Complete Work On New Album
May 8, 2007, 17 years ago
After a few mastering delays, the new gods of extreme time-stretching suicidal blackened sludge doom, ATAVIST, have finished laying down the final touches that will define in what will go down as one of the most memorable and extreme doom metal albums to be released this year (via Profound Lore Records in North America and Invada in the UK/Europe).
Entitled II:Ruined, this beast of Manchester have created an incredible work that will undoubtedly go down as a classic within the annals of this genre. Much like the impact bands like CORRPUTED made with their El Mundo Frio album, what KHANATE have done with their self-titled debut, IRON MONKEY with their Our Problem masterpiece, or the influential impact that BURNING WITCH had with Crippled Lucifer, Atavist are pretty much set to lay waste within the doom metal scene, and carve a new niche while doing so.
II:Ruined also features guest appearances by UK folk singer Rose Kemp and ex-Iron Monkey/current-day CRIPPLED BLACK PHEONIX guitarist Justin Greaves. The Profound Lore version will also feature a bonus track, namely a GRIEF cover of ‘I Hate The Human Race’.
The tracklisting for II:Ruined goes as follows: 'I', 'II', 'II', 'IV', 'V', 'VI', 'I Hate The Human Race' (Grief cover).
Expect the North American version of II:Ruined to claw it's way mid-late July.
Atavist are: Toby, Chris, Shane, and Callum.
