Atlases

History

Atlases was founded by guitarist Ville-Veikko Laaksonen in 2017, after Laaksonen parted ways with his previous band Oceanwake. The right lineup was found rather quickly. Atlases' music combines metal with atmospheric soundscapes, making the end result sound like modern post mMetal, as they themselves call it.

In July 2017 Atlases signed a deal with Pest Records. The debut release 'Penumbra' EP was released in autumn 2017.

A single called 'Atone' was released early 2018 accompanied with a music video and a 8" vinyl split release with Besra.

Atlases toured 'Penumbra' and 'Atone' across Finland and the Baltics.

Atlases's debut album 'HAAR' was released in May 24th 2019 via Rain Without Records.

In 2020 Atlases signed with Rochkopper Agency and Lifeforce Records. The band's second ful-length album 'Woe Portrait' will be released on October 23rd, 2020.
