Atomis, Post-Metal from Calgary, Canada was a music and visual artist group, created by Nathan Navetto, Matthew McLaughlin, Taylor Johnson, and Bryan Buss in 2010. Combining elements of post-rock/metal, electronic, and cinema, Atomis had created a unique voice in their music/visual hybrid live performances. They disbanded in 2020 due to the passing of drummer Nathan Navetto and are now releasing a box set of all the music they have ever created, as a tribute to the late him. Before the release of the collection they are streaming the single â12 Chainsâ, which bassist Bryan Buss comments on:
â12 Chains is a driving, repetitive, droning track that constantly moves forward until it breaks. We have an upcoming video for this one directed by Doug Cook that will perfectly show what one can go through in life, always searching for answers.â
Musically, the box set showcases the entirety of Atomis, all the way from the drawing board, to a polished album, but in reverse. Each of the three CDs showcases three eras of the band in constant creation mode. They are excited to finally share IT ALL, âpolishedâ or not.
The set includes their self-titled album recorded in 2014, including four long tracks that have never been performed live; âWelcome to the Voidâ â Navetto’s experimental version of their debut with eight extra synth-laden tracks; and a âLive off the Floorâ demo album capturing raw performances from 2010-2014.
Dynamic and crushing, this triple threat of post-metal is recommended for fans of Isis, Neurosis, and The Ocean.

What the press has said about them:
âThe songs are epic and can almost be described as soundscapes, as they incorporate everything from crushing metal riffs to peaceful ambient noise.â – Matt Petti, Beatroute Magazine
âBefore 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 bandâs 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 âBreaking the Brokenâ by Control Denied, âProlong the Agonyâ by Morta Skuld and the upcoming video for Deathâs âPull the Plugâ.â – Evilg – Metal Sucks
