Plus the band's second single "Feel" off their upcoming album Primitive will be released. It will be available on all music platforms. "Feel" demonstrates the juxtaposition between melodic interludes, harsh yelling and unrelenting heavy guitar riffs that ATLAS does so well.
"We started writing the album back in 2015 and it took us 2 years and about 30 song ideas to narrow it down to these nine tracks. The process was long and one of the hardest things we've ever set out to do but we're all extremely happy and proud of how it came out in the end." -Â Aleksi/Guitar.

BIO:
"Where there's a will there's a way"
This is the mentality of the 5-piece modern metalcore band ATLAS, hailing from Nokia, Finland who are more than determined to make an impact on the genre. Labeling their sound as ''NORTHCORE' the band released a critically acclaimed debut EP Northern Lights in 2016.
After 6 years of hard work, the band has found its firm lineup with members who have dedicated themselves and their lives to the music. In that half a decade, the band's sound has developed and matured to the point where it is now a truly unique mixture of different genres and sounds.
"Our main influences vary from contemporary metal giants such as ARCHITECTS and BRING ME THE HORIZON to rap, pop and ambient music that make our sound a mix of heavy hitting riffs paired with catchy melodies and immersive soundscapes. Outside music we draw inspiration from the northern gloom of Finland which bleeds into the music giving our band a cold and harsh sound''says guitarist Tuomas Kurikka.
The band has played around Northern Europe with bands such as ADEPT, ESKIMO CALLBOY, ONE MORNING LEFT and WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER. They are stocked to finally be releasing their first full length album Primitive on October 5th, 2018 via Invers Records.
