Our Spotlight Band is Atomic Symphony from Switzerland

December 31, 2015

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. You can’t help but feel the intensity that their music brings out. Walk Through Fire and Pain is one to have on repeat!

Although we were working with another track before, it came together organically and, just a few days before we went to the studio, it was finished. I wrote the lyrics the night before going to Pull & Push Studios to record the vocals, but they were about something completely different. That night, while I was watching some science videos, I was really impressed with how Carl Sagan [Read More]

Check out The Knitts from Los Angeles. First off, they are not a new band since they formed around 2011 but they are definitely new to me and I am lovin what I am hearing.

I am just blown away by the energy they bring to their music, vocals that just grab your attention and a beat that will get you moving. This just might be my new Go To song!
