For diehard fans of traditional heavy metal, German outfit ATLANTEAN KODEX's upcoming album, "The Golden Bough", is one of the most anticipated releases of 2010. Due in October via the Italian metal label Cruz Del Sur Music, the powerful CD boasts nine tracks of pure heavy metal packed with raging solos, plenty of melody but with a serious underlying heaviness, all fueled by soaring, triumphant vocals.

Since its inception in 2006, this tight German band has built a strong and devoted fanbase over a series of limited edition releases, as well as participation in some of the most important European metal festivals, including 'Keep It True', 'Hammer Of Doom', 'Up The Hammers' and more.

Taking its next leap forward on "The Golden Bough", the magic of ATLANTEAN KODEX's Heavy Metal is more bold and apparent than ever, before, already being praised by Germany's Rock Hard magazine as "maybe one of the best Metal albums from Germany ever." With references to early MANOWAR, "Hammerheart"-era BATHORY and SOLSTICE, "The Golden Bough" should not leave any fan of epic heavy metal unmoved.
