Reunited ATROCITY To Play First Show In March
December 21, 2006Reunited Torrington, Connecticut-based thrash/hardcore act ATROCITY (not to be confused with the German band) will play their first show since the band's reunion earlier this year alongside NECRODEMON, CLOUDS TURNED BLACK and GODLESS RISING on March 4, 2007 in Winstead, CT
Formed in early 1985 by Rob Wedda (vocals),Rich Flint (bass),Scott Reynolds (guitar) and Jeff White (drums),ATROCITY had pushed out three demos ("Toxic Death", "Ravaged by Disease", "Mangled") and a self-financed seven-inch EP, entitled "Hatred Birth", by 1989. They soon caught the attention of U.K.-based Metalcore Records, a subsidiary of Plastichead Distribution, whom they ultimately signed with.
ATROCITY's first album, "Infected" (1990),is very raw and featured a very violent death metal/grind sound. The second album, "The Art of Death" (1992),saw a lineup change when Scott left the band and was replaced by Jesse Piechowski on guitar.
January 30 will see the release of "Contaminated", which features alternative recordings from the original "Infected" sessions. "Contaminated" is currently available for presale via Open Grave Recordsweb site.
