The Atlas Moth unveil new video

Determined to end their 2017 on a high, Chicago’s experimental metallers, THE ATLAS MOTH, have today unveiled a brand new video for the title track from their upcoming new album. Coma Noir is set for a February 9, 2018 release via Prosthetic Records - pre-order it here. Watch the video for Coma Noir here via Noisey

Guitarist/Vocalist, Stavros, commented: "This is our third video collaboration with our close personal friend and co-conspirator, director Ryan Oliver. Ryan has been instrumental in presenting the ideas in my head visually and expanding on them further than the stretches of my own imagination. Our first performance video was in great hands with him at the helm."

The album- their fourth - marks a few firsts for the band; it’s the first release for LA indie metal, Prosthetic Records, it’s the first to feature Mike Miczek (Broken Hope) on drums, and it’s the first time the band worked with an outside producer. On previous releases, the band’s guitarist/vocalist, Andrew Ragin handled production duties. This time around, longtime friend, Sanford Parker (Eyehategod, Voivod) stepped in to steer the Coma Noir ship. An outside voice, one that the band was comfortable with, was key to channeling all the different elements the band brings to the table and keeping everything cohesive and concise.

As the title suggests, the writing process was influenced by film noir, mixed with a love for the story telling found in graphic novels. Although it stops short of being a concept album, the threads of the initially planned narrative weave throughout the album's nine songs, a vehicle for real life experiences and emotions. Lyrically and thematically it stays loose, but clues are littered throughout; is the private detective hot on the heels of an evil cult anything more than a shadow or a figment of our imaginations? Coma Noir is the only way to unravel it all.

The band will kick off their 2018 touring plans with North American tour with Royal Thunder and Mirrors of Psychic Warfare; further tour dates including European shows are expected in due course.
