For over a decade, ATRA VETOSUS has carved a reputation for innovation and authenticity within the black metal scene. Emerging from Tasmania, the band finds inspiration in the island’s rugged wilderness, weaving its vast and dramatic landscapes into their music. This connection to nature shapes their sound, creating music that feels emotive and expansive. With intricate melodies and atmospheric layers, paired with lyrics that capture a sense of grandeur and introspection, ATRA VETOSUS creates a compelling and immersive listening experience.

The band’s musical journey began in 2011 with a foundation in melodic black metal. They have since expanded their horizons, incorporating atmospheric, depressive, and post-metal influences. A defining moment for the band was in 2018 with the release of Apricity, an album that not only redefined their sound but also established their presence internationally, culminating in a headlining European tour. In 2021, the EP Even The Dawn No Longer Brings Hope revealed a darker, more introspective side, with sprawling and dynamic movements. Now, with Undying Splendour, ATRA VETOSUS continues to evolve, crafting an album that is as intricate, uplifting, emotive, atmospheric and powerful.

The core lineup of Josh Young (guitars), Josh Gee (vocals, keys), Josef Bound (drums), and Jeremy Hughes (bass) seamlessly unite their talents to craft a powerful and atmospheric soundscape. With Young’s compositions forming the foundation, each member brings their own dynamic contributions, creating music that is both cohesive and evocative.

With their latest album Undying Splendour, ATRA VETOSUS invites listeners to experience a journey through intricate soundscapes, vivid atmospheres, and evocative moods—a testament to their ability to push boundaries while staying true to their melodic black metal roots. ATRA VETOSUS will be touring throughout Europe with a European Tour in early 2025 followed by performances in Australia.

Christ Dismembered is a black metal band hailing from Adelaide, Australia. The band incorporates a gothic aesthetic and has an impressive history of international performances, including tours in Japan and collaborations with renowned metal bands. With a history dating back to around 2012, the band has strong credibility and experience in the scene.
