Anticipation for the album has been high and the street date is coming up with an Oct. 11th release for the self-titled full-length. Orders include a limited (300) Insomnia colored splatter LP, a jewelcase CD or digital options and can be purchased HERE.
Highly influenced by the ‘90s Smash Atoms intend to bring it all back in a new form. The quartet’s enjoyment and intention when creating their first album was to highlight a warm yet captivating sound. While the influences are obvious, there is something charming, nostalgic and infectiously endearing about the group’s material culminating in what will surface as a very strong album mixed/mastered at Crehate Studios (In Flames, Scorpions, Avatar) in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Smash Atoms’ story actually originates back to 2012 when they formed, releasing one smashing demo and playing a handful of magical shows before U.S.-born singer Glen Gilbert stepped out and the remaining trio changed their name to The Torch with Martin then also handling vocals. The Torch recorded two albums, gaining national Swedish radio play and touring all over places like Scandinavia, Germany and Italy. But two years ago, Glen (The Story Behind, Hide The Knives) and the guys reconnected and decided to revert back to their former incarnation and give Smash Atoms another chance and here we are. Check out “Into The Light” and “Down” and anticipate more captivating songs in the coming months.
