Canadian Post-Metal ATOMIS Shares New Video “In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts” Off “The Void Box Set” In Memory of Drummer’s Passing
In remembrance of their late drummer Nathan Navetto, Calgary, Canada’s progressive post-metal act Atomis released their “The Void Box Set” of their complete discography this past August. The 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.”
Today, Atomis shares their latest music video for the track “In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts”, a very percussive, monotonous, and introspective track. The fretless bass slides are hypnotizing as the guitar slowly builds until it breaks into an ambiance, letting the synth take over.

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.
Released on August 30th, 2024, “The Void Box Set” is available at https://atomismusic.bandcamp.com/
