Out Now! ATOMIS Release Entire Discography In Box Set In Wake Of Drummer’s Passing + Music Video "12 Chains"
Canada’s progressive post-metal act Atomis is now releasing its box set discography to honour their late drummer Nathan Navetto. This complete collection spans a decade ranging from a high production debut album of previously unheard music to an experimental version of the album - “Nathan’s version” - called “Welcome to the Void”, which includes a remix of the debut album, plus 8 bonus ambient/experimental tracks fully written by Nathan. Closing up the box set is a Live off the Floor demos album of songs Atomis performed live regularly from 2010-2014. These are the songs that the local scene would recognize and songs that sadly never made it to the studio. The band comments on the release:
“This collection is long-awaited and well-deserved. Due to a variety of circumstances, and after many false starts, and the passing of our drummer and bandleader Nathan Navetto in 2020, the album never came out. We still have fans of our first single ‘Maelstrom’ asking about “The Album”, so we’re pleased to now share the entirety of our catalog in the form of a box set. Some finished, some half-baked, and some completely raw and recorded with a single microphone inside a concrete jamspace.”
Along with the box set, they are releasing two videos, one for the single “12 Chains” and the other for a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the music video. The track is driving, repetitive, and droning, constantly moving forward until it breaks. Doug Cook’s music video perfectly shows what one can go through in life, always searching for answers.
Atomis pulls from all aspects of inspiration, be it cinema, poetry, or nature, and tries to make an enveloping experience. The Void Box Set showcases the entirety of Atomis from the drawing board, to a polished album, but in reverse. It is recommended for fans of The Ocean, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Radiohead.

What the press has said about them:
“The songs are epic and can almost be described as soundscapes, as they incorporate everything from crushing metal riffs to peaceful ambient noise.” - Matt Petti, Beatroute Magazine
“Before the first viewing of the video, Canadian director and film-maker Doug Cook gave an introductory speech about the making of the video and working with Atomis. They created a video that perfectly complimented the band’s music and fans asked to watch it a second time (and then even a third time before the venue closed). Cook has been working with many Calgary metal bands lately, such as Divinity, Orphan Hammer and the Unravelling. He has also worked on some videos that may be a little more well known around the globe including “Breaking the Broken” by Control Denied, “Prolong the Agony” by Morta Skuld and the upcoming video for Death’s “Pull the Plug”.” - Evilg - Metal Sucks
