Reunited ATROCITY To Play First Reunion Show In March 2007
December 21, 2006, 17 years ago
Reunited Torrington, Connecticut-based thrash/hardcore act ATROCITY (not to be confused with the German band) will play their first show since the band's reunion earlier this year on March 4th, 2007 along side NECRODEMON, CLOUDS TURNED BLACK and GODLESS RISING in Winstead, CT
Formed in early 1985 by Rob Wedda (vocals), Rich Flint (bass), Scott Reynolds (guitar) and Jeff White (drums), Atrocity had pushed out three demos (Toxic Death, Ravaged By Disease, Mangled) and a self-financed seven-inch EP, entitled Hatred Birth, by 1989. They soon caught the attention of U.K.-based Metalcore Records, a subsidiary of Plastichead Distribution, to with they ultimately signed with.
Atrocity's first album, Infected (1990), is very raw and featured a very violent death metal/grind sound. The second album, The Art Of Death (1992), saw a lineup change when Scott left the band and was replaced by Jesse Piechowski on guitar.
January 30th will see the release of Contaminated, which features alternative recordings from the original Infected sessions. Contaminated is currently available for presale via Open Grave Records website at www.opengraverecords.com.
