Our Spotlight Band is Atomic Symphony from Switzerland

For our Spotlight Band we would like to introduce you to a great symphonic/progressive metal band, Atomic Symphony from Switzerland. They have released their debut album Redemption this year and have been garnering a lot of attention for their progressive metal that takes you on a symphonic journey. The self produced album contains 9 attention grabbing tracks that highlight their musical prowess. One of my favorite tracks is the hauntingly beautiful Face The Evil or the explosive Shattered.
