Atrox

[sh0kr0k]

Just found this band in my friend requests. They call themselves "Psychadelic Progressive Metal" and it's fitting! They give Pain of Salvation a run for their money. Check them out, let me know what you think. It's not everyday that I go, "Holy Shit!" over a band that randomly found me.

I dont like them they are too weird. If you remeber Barking Pumpking from about two years ago (one of the biggest prog snobs ever) on the PP forum, he absolutely loved them.

I like my prog metal weird, so these guys are fabulous in my book!

Yeah I do remember Barking Pumpkin.. whatever happened to that guy? I suspect he probably got himself banned

Is this the same Atrox with female vocalist Monica?

Just looked at the website...yes the same band....but she isn't in the band anymore. I remember her vocals being very quirky and needing to be in the right mood to listen to them.

Am I the last person to find out about this band? That's what I get for burying myself in the Japanese indie scene for a few years.

Two of the songs on their myspace player have her vocals. Well, I pressume it's her.

Yes, "Sultry Air" and "Lay" are Monika. I believe I first heard of them in 2000.

Where the hell have I been?! I just fell in love with them this morning!
I guess they're one of those bands that slipped by all these years.

Tammy-- thats funny-- I had the same reaction as you-- I had bought their CD a few years ago, and had not given it much listen-- They myspaced me as well last week, and I started listening to them again-- I really dig them--

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's never heard Atrox before, but I sure am glad I have now!

Seems most of my friends have too, yet I'm still one of the last to know
