Reunited ATROCITY To Release EP Through OPEN GRAVE
September 7, 2006Reunited Torrington, Connecticut-based thrash/hardcore act ATROCITY (not to be confused with the German band) has teamed up with Open Grave Records to release an EP featuring alternate versions of previously released songs recorded during the "Infected" sessions in 1990. More information on this release will be made available soon.
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, to with 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.
ATROCITY disbanded in 1993 but are back to writing new noise with the original lineup.
