MERENDINE ATOMICHE To Release Sophomore Album In August

June 8, 2006

Veteran Italian thrash metal stalwart MERENDINE ATOMICHE will release their second full-length album, "Raw", on August 21 via Mausoleum Records.

MERENDINE ATOMICHE's 2003 release, "Walk Across Fire", along with their demo, mini-CD, and tribute to METALLICA, established the band's powerful sound, mixing a classic thrash metal style with elements of hardcore and pure heavy metal. "Raw" brings that style to the next level. "Despite good reviews and a positive response to our last record, we were not satisfied," says drummer Luca Cerardi. "We wanted to do something even better. After two years of hard work, the result is 'Raw'." Lead guitarist David Bisson adds, "For me this album represents the new sound of MERENDINE ATOMICHE. A new beginning."

"Raw" was produced by prominent metal guitarist Jack Frost, who has performed with SAVATAGE, SEVEN WITCHES and many other bands. Frost is a very capable producer and helped MERENDINE ATOMICHE realize their full potential as a band.

The songs on "Raw" hold deep personal meanings for the members of MERENDINE ATOMICHE. "'Raw' is a great album to me because I lived each song," says vocalist Luca Zandarin. Indeed, the band worked their fingers to the bone for two years in the studio to make sure that "Raw" would be the best album possible. "Our target is to let people feel what we felt when we were making these songs: thrash them, give them energy and let them enjoy the music as much as possible while sending a positive message," says rhythm guitarist Luca Securo.

Perhaps bassist Dario Bianchi explains the point of the album best: "For me, 'Raw' is not an album but a tale. A story about MERENDINE ATOMICHE as friends and as a band. Our experiences, our dreams and a musical trip into the life of five guys who are living a great experience through music can be heard with this album."
