Comments vocalist/bassist Ross Dolan: “We are excited that everyone will finally get a preview of what the new record has to offer. »Atonement« is a very dark and haunting album both musically and lyrically, commenting on the darker side of humanity and the world today. Each song on this album is unique in its own way, offering the listener a wide range of dark and sinister passages that I think really hone in on all the elements that make this band what it is.
The sound of this record is exactly what we were hoping for, and we feel the production really gives these songs that massive sound and dark sinister feel they needed. Zack and Paul really nailed it with this one and made our tenth album our best sounding record to date. We are all very proud of what we have created here, and we hope everyone else will enjoy these 11 songs as much as we think they will.
The song ‘Atonement’ is about that blind fury and destructivnes of religious extremism regardless of where it comes from and under what religious banner it flies. The cover piece was inspired by a passage of lyrics from this song, and Par managed to create a visual for those four lines that just blew us away. So needless to say, we are very pleased with the overall look and feel of the album, which also includes 4 amazing pieces of artwork done by the extremely talented Zbigniew Bielak.
We chose the song ‘Destructive Currents’ as the first song to leak to the fans because it’s a fast and aggressive song that gets right down to business. It’s just dark and powerful, and I think it gives everyone a sense of whats in store for them with this release. Lyrically the song deals with the herd/mob mentality and how it gets fed, manipulated and exploited by outside forces. These are the currents of deception, misinformation and destruction, which are designed to mislead people. So that’s really the idea behind the song lyrically”.

“Atonement” is the new video from Romanian metallers GOODBYE TO GRAVITY, check it out HERE.
Links were the song can be streamed or downloaded, HERE.
The track is taken from the band’s second album “Mantras of War”, which will be released on October 30 via Universal Music Romania. The follow-up to 2012’s self-titled debut, produced by the band’s bassist Alex Pascu, was mixed at Black Rock Studios, Santorini by Kostas Kalimeris (Joe Bonamassa, Bring Me The Horizon, Steve Harris) and mastered at Chartmakers, Helsinki, Finland by Svante Forsbäck (Rammstein, Volbeat, Amorphis).
The video was directed by Andi Dumitrescu, who also worked on the band’s “I Won’t Wait“ video in 2012.
“We wanted to make a video reminding of 80’s sci-fi B-movies and we were extremely excited when Andi Dumitrescu told us his script idea as well as where and how he wanted to shoot the whole thing. I think it’s really fun to watch, with a lot of inside jokes and tongue-in-cheek moments”, explains lead vocalist Andrei Galut.
“At first, I thought we can’t pull it off because it was a really ambitious project: we shot in three locations in two countries, with a team of over 20 people. But I think it was worth it”, adds bass player Alex Pascu.
On December 6th 2014, more than 35 musicians from several different bands joined on stage to pay a humble homage to one of the most legendary and pioneering musicians ever, Tomas Börje Forsberg (Quorthon), well known for his larger than life legacy under the monicker of BATHORY, reports Spanish dark metal act FOSCOR. During more than an hour and a half, Sala Bóveda in Barcelona was the temple where Darkness and Evil spread their wings over 400 die hard maniacs that enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime event.
It was called “Under The Sign Of Bathory. A Tribute Night To Quorthon” and gathered members of different bands from the Catalan and Iberian scene such as Graveyard, Ered, Insulters, Lvx Divina, Cauldron, Foscor, Balmog, Körgull The Exterminator, Atonement, Decapitated Christ and Morbid Flesh. After DiPSO Films’ edition, we are proud to unveil such an unforgettable night and document for history.
