Группа Atavist Информация о группе Atavist started around mid 2004 when I [Chris - guitars] met Shane [bassist] at a Khanate show in Nottingham UK, we started hanging out listening to music we liked and jamming songs we knew to get a feel for each others playing style. After a few weeks we started writing early versions of some of our album tracks. It was around this time we were first contacted by Jamie via e-mail after he saw a post I had written on the Southern Lord Records message boards about the kind of music that I was writing and the sort of music I was listening to. He noticed we were from nearby and gave me an email asking if my band needed a drummer as he was looking to play doom again, having drummed in the now disbanded Burning Witch and Thorrs Hammer some years before. We sent e-mails backwards and forwards for a while, then we decided to meet up for a practice sessions at a local rehearsal space [Audio zone] to see how things went. At the practices we were playing him the early versions of what became “31:38″ from our upcoming record. We were all surprised how well we worked together and how quickly Jamie picked up the song and things just went from there really. We later added Toby to the line up (after a few practises) to do vocals and the band went from there. ATAVIST - S/T> The making of… When we set out to make the Atavist record we knew we wanted it to have a big heavy sound, and that we would need to record it live, so after some advice from our friends in the band Marzuraan we opted to record the CD at a studio called “The Soundroom” in Newcastle UK. The album was recorded in 2 x 7 hour sessions over a period of six months from December 2004 to June 2005, and features three tracks. The first song on the album titled “31:38″ was recorded whilst on tour with SUNN O))) in December 2004 as we had a free day after playing a show at the Cluny in Newcastle the night before.We booked the Soundroom for a session the next day and after setting up / working on the sound we recorded the song live in one take [which was really pleasing as the song is 31mins and 38 secs long]. Atavist are not the sort of band that would be comfortable doing an album track by track as timing and structure are important features in our songs and we all need to watch each other closely to make things work as planned.After doing a rough mix and master on “31:38″ we started sending it out to record labels, promoters and reviewers to try to get some feedback on the tracks, some shows and possibly a record deal. After a near miss with Meteorcity Records from the USA [due to some contractual issues of touring we couldn’t agree to] and a couple of other prospects in the UK / Europe we decided to sign to Invada Records [The Heads, Ramesses, Gonga] to release the ATAVIST album on CD/2 x LP. It was around the time we signed to Invada that we had the final songs complete for the album. After doing some touring with Esoteric and Unearthly Trance in early / mid 2005 we found ourselves ready to record the two new songs for our album, in June 2005.Having liked the sound of 31:38 from recording it at the sound room we opted to finish the recording of the album there to keep some sort of consistency in the sound of the album even though it was recorded in 2 sessions. The products of the second recording sessions at the Soundroom were the tracks now titled “20:11″ and “14:12″.With the first track 31:38 and the two new tracks we ended up [unknowingly to us] with an album that was 66 minutes and 6 seconds long with the gaps between tracks!!! 666 DOOM!In the final stages of production we mixed the album at Portisheads “State of Art” studios in Bristol UK with Paul Horlick / Stuart Matthews, and the album was subsequently mastered for CD/Vinyl @ Optimum Mastering in Bristol.

Замечу, что, несмотря на то, что банда - дичайшим образом замедлена, даже учитывая рамки жанра, всё-таки их музыка основана на крепкой классической дум-металической закваске (в лице наиболее тягучих представителей стиля), и поэтому Atavist вполне может прокатить и если вам не слишком близок всевозможный дроун и всевозможные его переходы в нечто a la эмбиент. Отчасти музон британцев вызвал ассоциации с Corrupted (но у испаноязычных япошек всё гораздо менее удачно, имхо), Esoteric (по большей части за счёт атмосферы), замедленный раз этак в семь Electric Wizard, и, к сожалению, Khanate и Ко. 
Influences: SUNN O))), Khanate, Corrupted, Boris, Grief, Isis: первые четыре инфлюэнции - тот самый дроун, а в случае с Boris - ещё и с мерзенькими нойз-эмбиент фишками 
Хоть с Grief не промахнулись, и на том спасибо 
Ну а самый прикол, так это, то, как определён стиль команды: Alternative / Black Metal / Ambient. Ещё бы гхотик добавить и получился бы почти полный список самых нелюбимых жанров тяжёлой музыки у меня. Позорищща!!!
