Band of the Month: May – Ghosts of Atlantis
Written by Alexander Nik on May 4, 2021
Our first joint staff and audience vote winner: Ghosts of Atlantis
Hailing from deepest, darkest Suffolk, symphonic and progressive extreme metallers continue the tradition and staple of the Witch County trademark sound, encompassing all that is dark, brooding, and macabre. In addition, the band takes different singing approaches, with poetic spoken word elements, full choirs, and memorable choruses to guttural destruction carried forth through the main vocals.
On the debut album, ‘3.6.2.4’, Ghosts of Atlantis build the lore around the mythology of ancient Greece and the lost city of Atlantis while narrating their own story, weaving historical findings and fantasy storytelling into one epic journey. The lore contains relevance to both this world and the mythological world of Atlantis. There is a valid reason behind the title, ‘3.6.2.4’. However, the band would like the listeners to try and work out the relevance.
May will see the band come full circle with TotalRock, having had their first ever airplay and interview with Mighty Matt Mason, a follow up with Ron with the album release on Black Lion Records, now nominated by Xander and voted our May Band of the Month!
Closely followed by Living Dead Girl and Ghosts of Men, look out for interviews with all three finalist this month on TotalRock!
