Atavist announce new album ‘III: Absolution’
ATAVIST have announced a new album!
Titled III: Absolution, the upcoming album from the British death/doom squad is their third full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Candlelight Records.
Featuring WINTERFYLLETH guitarist and vocalist, C. Naughton, along with bassist S. Ryan, drummer C. Cox and vocalist T. Bradshaw, their creative forces meld once again on III: Absolution. ATAVIST present something otherworldly, unique and sonically powerful on this album. The upcoming album was recorded and produced by the legendary Chris Fielding [PRIMORDIAL/NAPALM DEATH/WINTERFYLLETH/ELECTRIC WIZARD] at Skyhammer & Foel Studios, and mastered by James Plotkin [KHANATE/JODIS/OLD LADY DRIVERS].
The album also features the haunting string performances of prominent solo artist Jo Quail on cello [MONO/MY DYING BRIDE], as well as the exceptional talents of Bianca Blezard on Viola/Violin [WINTERFYLLETH]. Speaking about the upcoming album, Naughton says, “this is a soundtrack that travels through the depths of human emotion, from losing everything, mourning loss, realising your own mind, right through to finding your way again. Ultimately finding Absolution at the end of that journey. There is no joy here, only relief at the end of an arduous voyage.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled Self-Realisation.
