Premiere: Atlas Entity – “Murmurs of Dissent”
We’ve got some mad shit on board for you today.
I’m a firm believer that melodic death metal is at its best when it’s bordering other subgenres, be it black metal, tech death, or prog. Atlas Entity is all of the above and then some. The single they’re bringing us today, “Murmurs of Dissent,” shows off the project’s technical and progressive side, with brilliant and intricate melodies and some furious drumming. However, the focus isn’t solely on virtuosity; the music is easy to follow in spite of its relative complexity, and the clean guitar section evokes a sense of forlorn melancholy that tech death acts generally don’t do. Regardless of what you want to call it, this is some excellent music, so I’m going to shut up and let you listen:
Beneath the Cosmic Silence comes out on June 14th and is available for preorder on Bandcamp. If you like what you heard, you can follow Atlas Entity on their various social media outlets for updates.
