Glasgow's Atlas : Empire are proud to announce their debut album "The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet" released independently during December 2018 will now be reissued via WormHoleDeath Records on October 25th, 2019.
The band adds:
"We're excited to enter a new chapter of the band in partnership with Carlo & the WHD team. And for those unfamiliar with our latest release, The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet' is a concept album that explores what would happen to humanity if we became entirely reliant on technology/automation in every aspect of our lives ' and more importantly, what happens when that system fails?"
Weaving their way between the multitudes of different genres that influence them, the trio visits the worlds of heavy progressive rock and expansive ambient shoegaze. To date the band has released 3 EPs, "To The Astronaut!" (2012); "Somnus" (2013) and "For the Satellites" (2015) with "The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet" as their 2018 debut full length.
In addition to the news of their label signing, the band released a new video for the track 'Our Hands Part The Waves', which you can view here.
The trio will also be returning to Eastern Canada this October with eight gigs spanning across Ontario and Quebec followed by UK dates in November. After a busy summer of writing and European festival dates, the Scottish band is excited to come back to the homeland of their bassist Robert Hasebe and he quotes:
"Touring Canada is by far one of the most enjoyable things for Atlas : Empire. The unique challenges and rewards of touring this part of the world are what make Canadian artists and performers truly great. They are not only so wonderful to work with but also so friendly and exceptional at their craft. Canada produces so many good bands and such talented musicians that we are so fortunate and so grateful to be able to tour here regularly. Also, poutine."
