Playing heavy, yet catchy music with prime influences including Lamb of God, Soilwork, Tool and Slipknot, Canadian anthemic metal band ATRIA have been given the nod to open the Kingston, ON November 24th tour stop of The Metal Alliance Tour featuring Goatwhore, The Casualties, Black Tusk, Great American Ghost and Gozu. This will be ATRIA's first performance showcasing headbangers off their debut EP "New World Nightmare" due out November 16th.
Drummer Matt McGuire comments:
"It is such a privilege and an opportunity as a new band to learn from true professionals. It's experiences like this that make us better overnight."

ATRIA's debut release "New World Nightmare" is just a teaser of what is to be expected from them. Not just sticking with the usual heavy formula of the genre, they also add plenty of synth and orchestral parts and experiment with varying degrees of technicality over four introductory tracks.

Vocalist Tom Emmans expands on his vision for the band's direction:
"I've always been a fan of catchy choruses. I like when bands can bring something dark and heavy, but also give me something to sing along to. We've tried to do that with our new single and I think we've accomplished that. Also the lyrics have a great deal of depth and personal meaning to them. The rest of the album is much heavier but there are still plenty of good hooks worked in there."
Even as a relatively new band, ATRIA is finding their place in the Canadian underground scene and making their name known among a wide variety of metal fans.
