Atten Ash are a death-doom trio hailing from North Carolina, USA who will be releasing their debut full-length, The Hourglass, via Hypnotic Dirge Records on 19th February. The tracks were originally recorded and self-released in 2012 but this year Hypnotic Dirge will give it a proper – and rightully deserved one – release on a 4 panel digipak with a 12 page booklet. Additionally, today the band is releasing a 7” split (also via Hypnotic Dirge) with gothic act Lycanthia.

The track found on the split is “City In The Sea” and it is also the opening track of the upcoming full-length. I gotta tell you, Atten Ash know what they are doing and their doom-death is especially recommended to fans of classic Katatonia, October Tide, Slumber and Doom:vs. Maturity and experience is present on the song – and the rest of the album for that matter – and it will fill you with that (weirdly) comforting feeling of melancholy thanks to the guitars’ melodies and razorsharp solos but also the perfect mix of clean and growling vocals.
