Atrament - Eternal Downfall

Atrament is a four piece band made up of, Chad Gailey: Drums. James Meyer: Guitar. Sam Carr-Prindle: Bass. Mattia Alagna: Vocals. Music style is listed as, D-Beat Crust/Black Death. Band location, Oakland, CA.

 Eternal Downfall album to be released on Broken Limbs 4th March 2016. With high volume and savage intent the music is furious. Heavy distorted guitars and strong drums dominate. Trying to think what best describes this style, I would say a mix between Napalm Death, Agnostic Front, and Broken Hope. The song "Consumed", attacks with blast beats and open chord progressions. Some of the stand out performances from this album would "Aeon of Suffering", and "Circle of Wolves", aggressive guitars and vocals. Rhythms remain the same through out most of the album. 

 My final thoughts, a strong performance is captured, the constant time signatures makes the songs sound similar to each other. Vocal delivery is intense and mosh pit inducing.

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that.
