◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
Atomgott is a newly formed German band with members spanning from three separate cities; Mönchengladbach, Viersen, and Oberhausen. Considered as being something of a "supergroup" within the underground German hardcore/grind/death metal scene, the band was created from the ashes of three renowned acts; Cirle Of Death, The Platoon, & Vatikan Riots, all of whom broke up around the same time (mid-2011). The dissolution of said bands, coupled with the fact that all three were known to play shows together, made it a convenient and natural decision for Flo (ex-Circle Of Death), Helge (ex-Vatikan Riots), David (ex-The Platoon), Max (ex-Vatikan Riots), and Selim (ex-The Platoon) to combine their similar yet varied extreme metal influences spanning from their previous groups to form Atomgott (according to their FB profile, the band officially began in October of 2011).
Although none of the aforementioned bands or musicians are common names outside of Germany and perhaps some of the surrounding countries in which their prior bands performed, it wouldn't be surprising to see Atomgott rise in the ranks of the international grind/death metal community given their impressive first showing. As any true music fan knows, demos are generally self-released in order to find potential label support; thus, it speaks volumes that Atomgott signed to Southwest Hardcore Records prior to formally laying anything down on tape. It goes without saying this is a band to follow closely, so we strongly recommend picking up the entire demo for free at the download link made available in the section below (320kbps MP3 files) and then making your way to their official Facebook page to "LIKE" them in order to receive updates and news.
