Atomis, the avant-garde rock band known for their deeply immersive soundscapes is excited to announce the release of a comprehensive “The Void Box Set”, a tribute to our late drummer Nathan Navetto, which contains all the music they’ve ever written. They are ushering in this release by dropping a music video for the single “Maelstrom”, from the self-titled album, which they comment on:

“Recorded 10 years earlier, it makes sense to finish off the album with something familiar, taking the listener back to the beginning, creating a nice loop, and ending the album with a bang. This 9+ minute track has been called an album on its own and was previously the band’s only musical release for the last 14 years. It finally has an album to properly close out, as it was always intended.”

The upcoming “The Void Box Set” is a monumental release, featuring three CDs that showcase the evolution of Atomis‘ sound. From the polished debut album, which includes previously unheard tracks, to the experimental “Welcome to the Void” album—Nathan’s version that includes remixes and ambient compositions—the collection offers a deep dive into the band’s creative process.

Formed by Nathan Navetto and Taylor Brooks from Somastate, alongside Matt Langley of Pure City, Atomis set out to create music with “no holds barred”. Drawing inspiration from cinema, poetry, and nature, the band aimed to craft an enveloping experience that went beyond just sound. Their performances became legendary for their custom light shows, specially edited film backdrops, and exclusive screen-printed posters.

Recommended for fans of Neurosis, The Ocean, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Atomis’ introspective and ambitious music is sure to please fans of progressive music.

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
