Our Take
Our Take
ATALA's latest offering, "Labyrinth of Ashmedai," is a labyrinthine journey through the depths of doom metal. The band masterfully blends sludgy riffs, haunting vocals, and thunderous drums to create a sonic landscape that is both menacing and mesmerizing.
From the ominous opening track, "Grains of Sand," to the epic closer, "On the Shores of the Infinite," ATALA takes listeners on a dark and twisted ride through the twisted corridors of their musical minds. The result is an album that is as captivating as it is crushing.
Frontman Kyle Stratton's vocals are a highlight, ranging from guttural roars to haunting whispers that perfectly complement the band's heavy sound. Guitarist Tane Imbriaco's riffs are equally impressive, creating a dense wall of sound that engulfs the listener in a haze of doom.
Despite its dark and heavy atmosphere, "Labyrinth of Ashmedai" is not without moments of beauty. The ethereal interlude on "Infernal" provides a brief respite from the album's relentless onslaught, while the haunting melodies on "Sepulcher" linger long after the final notes have faded.
Overall, ATALA's "Labyrinth of Ashmedai" is a powerful and immersive listen that is sure to appeal to fans of doom metal and beyond. With this album, ATALA proves once again that they are masters of their craft, ready to lead listeners on a journey through the darkest corners of music.

About the artist
Atala
Hailing from the dusty deserts of California, ATALA is a band that defies easy categorisation. Blending elements of stoner rock, doom metal, and psychedelic folk, their music is a heady concoction of crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and otherworldly vibes. Lead singer Kyle Stratton's gravelly vocals are like a siren's call, drawing listeners into the band's atmospheric, hypnotic soundscapes. Guitarist Josiah Faircloth's intricate riffs and fuzzed-out solos are a sonic tidal wave, crashing over the listener with relentless force. And drummer Jeff Tedtaotao's thunderous beats provide the backbone for the band's heavy, groovy sound. But it's not just about loud guitars and pounding drums with ATALA. The band's lyrics delve deep into the darkness of the human psyche, exploring themes of existential dread, spiritual awakening, and the mysticism of the natural world. It's dark, intense, and strangely uplifting all at once – like a great whiskey shot to the soul. With a string of critically acclaimed albums under their belt and a reputation for fierce live performances, ATALA are quickly making a name for themselves in the world of underground music. Their music is like a sonic acid trip through the desert, a journey into the heart of the unknown. So strap in, turn up the volume, and let ATALA take you on a wild ride – you won't regret it.
