ATRIARCH Unveils New Hymn "Allfather"; West Coast Live Rituals Confirmed
September 29, 2014, 10 years ago
Ceremonial death/doom ensemble, Atriarch, has unveiled the slow brooding audio treachery of "Allfather". The towering new hymn comes by way of the band's third full-length and first under the Relapse Records banner, An Unending Pathway, due for release October 28th.
Recorded at Type Foundry in Portland, Oregon, produced by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Eyehategod, Melvins) and the band, engine-eared and mixed by Anderson at Everything Hz, also in Portland, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Beastmilk, Nails) at Audiosiege, on An Unending Pathway, Atriarch delivers catharsis through sonic ritual, churning an otherworldly fusion of death rock, doom, black metal, post punk and psychedelic drone/noise, their haunting atmospheres and avalanches of chest-heaving sludge at once compelling and overwhelming. Imagine Bauhaus as interpreted by Eyehategod, or Sisters of Mercy filtered through Neurosis, and only then can you begin to grasp the darkness that is Atriarch.
In live news, Atriarch will bring their ceremonials to the stage this November on a West Coast run of dates. Scheduled to kick off November 7th in Seattle, the band will traumatize thirteen cities through November 21st. See confirmed shows below.
