New album “Apexapien” out on October 8th!
Canada has long been a wellspring from which fierce technical brutality has continuously flowed. In that tradition ATR? BILIS offer the imminent predatory attack of “Apexapien”, their debut full-length offering and one poised to set them on a path of unfettered exploration and intensity.
Like many bands on the 20 Buck Spin roster ATRAE BILIS take elements of several metallic sub-genres and twist them together into a distinctive alloy greater then sum of its parts. On “Apexapien” angular blackened dissonance, exhilarating experimental progressivism and crushing guttural savagery merge into a cacophony of violently discordant Death Metal; all held together with a strict focus, discipline and astonishing percussive momentum.
Thoroughly modern in scope and mercilessly severe in execution, the heinous battering inflicted on “Apexapien” establishes ATR? BILIS at the vanguard of a new breed of forward looking Death Metal bands not content to simply pay tribute to or completely abandon the genre’s towering progenitors.
