Originally formed in Madrid in 2007 as a new project from members of the seasoned bands Glow, Autumnal and Adrift, AATHMA<\/a> quickly developed their own identity and gained popularity, leading to their 2009 debut album “The Call of Shiva” being chosen as the best unsigned record by the readers of Terrorizer magazine. Gaining momentum with their next two full-lengths (2011’s “Decline… Towers of Silence” and “Avesta” -2017-, as well as the EP “Deadly Lake” in 2014), the band increased their live activity, including an European tour with the blackened crust punks Khmer and support shows for diverse renowned artists like Godflesh, Baroness, Forgotten Tomb or Altar of Plagues, as well as celebrated sets at big festivals like Madrid is the Dark, Resurrection Fest, Doom Over Paris or Bracara Extreme Fest.

On this new album the band pursues a more straightforward approach, with heavier shorter songs that still show the band’s peculiar blend of sludge, different styles of doom and atmospheric metal, with massive wall breaking riffs, mesmerizing ambient passages and frontman and guitarist Juan Viguera’s unique and emotive voice. The record\u2019s lyrical concept revolves around the idea of becoming one with the cosmos after respecting Mother Nature\u2019s creation, when we become dust from that dark star after trying to live a right and respectful life towards all other sentient beings.

The impressive cover artwork has been created by Robert Hern\u00e1ndez, one of the most prestigious tattoo artists in the world and the stellar production is courtesy of the band’s longtime collaborator Carlos Santos (Wormed, Toundra) and V\u00edctor Garc\u00eda’s (Adrift, Boneflower) crushing mastering.

“Dust From a Dark Sun”<\/strong> is a fresh-sounding record that avoids pigeonholed stereotypes and will resonate with listeners who yearn for a sincere and moving experience from one of Spain\u2019s most personal heavy acts. Would you come to the end of AATHMA<\/strong>‘s world?
