Ok, another avant-garde metal band, this time coming from Italy and having lots of experimental approach, low tunes in guitars (it what seems to my ears), as tons of synths and nightmare screamed vocals. It's what SYK is about on "Atoma", so stay with open mind when dealing with this album. It's too complicated and experimental for liking it on the first listening.

This is a very difficult album to hear and comprehend, because the tunes used for the instruments are extremely non-conventional, the screamed female voice is in a completely different way of you Ol' Daddy here is used to hear... It's weird, I must say, but it's not bad as many can think (especially if we're talking about some Metal fundamentalists who thing Metal must be this or that way).

The sound production is fine, and we can hear a good quality of sound flowing from the speakers, enough to recognize the instruments with their different tunes, but be aware if you become confused, it's not to do with the quality.

The band's music is too experimental, sometimes with extremely complex tempos, non-conventional sounds and effects, but some great moments can be found on the seven songs, for all of them have many to say.

On "Atoma", a complex and very good work from drums is heard in the middle of the broken tempos and extremely strange guitars sound. "The Observer" is difficult, but the vocals do a fine work, as well as we can hear on "Obsidian". "Un-God-Known" and "Auburn" are full of good guitars. And all the tracks, if you carefully hear the album, have some good points, and as many you hear the album the more you'll get used to their musical proposal.

Good work, but truly hard to understand. Even know, I don't really know if I got their idea clearly, but I know it's good.
