PRESS QUOTES

"With support from Kotsche (CALLEJON) and David (GWLT) the four guys from Düsseldorf are bringing 11 powerful songs straight to your face and showing us the original 'spirit of hardcore'. Awesome work full of love, heart and soul brought to you with a sledgehammer - that's how it should be!"

FUZE

"One of many? Wrong! ATOA are not only another hardcore band using their mother tongue - they are one of the most suprising ones! Even if their influences are pretty classic their positive energy is overwhelming! Their message about friendship and solidarity are combined to make a brootal package without using any swear words or becoming a platitude. It's just admirable."

What makes a band? Their sound? Their lyrics?

ATOA stand and operate on a different level. “Cohesion” or “sense of unity” would be the best way to express their spirit - and these elements are exactly what the band portrays, especially in their live performances. They deliver a powerful sound with German lyrics, holding enormous energy through and through.

In 2015 a lot happened for ATOA, they started working with renowned booking agency FKP Scorpio, which presented a new professional and dynamic partnership. Also Christoph “Kotsche” Koterzina, guitarist of the band CALLEJON worked with the band to complete their first ever studio album - a match made in heaven.

Christoph's experience was the perfect complement to the process, helping optimise the album's production and songwriting. After an intensive pre-production at the “Rock Or Die” Studios in Düsseldorf, many already well-known and established songs were restructured. The result is a new album that completely gets under your skin: »Unter Wölfen« (»Among Wolves«).

Their debut includes 12 killer-songs, full of lyrical passion and emotion, considering the world in a social critical and intellectual way. Musical blood and rhythm is instilled into their work, with the opening song 'Du lebst nur einmal' ('You only live once') – live and love for your beliefs.

»Unter Wölfen« includes the following songs:

1. Du Lebst Nur Einmal
2. Nichts Zu Verlieren
3. Hetzjagd
4. tunde Null
5. Die Sonne
6. One Love, One Heart
7. Herzblut
8. V
9. Der Funke Zur Rebellion
10. Heureka
11. Märtyrer

Bonus:

1. V (Remix)
