Цитата |
Atrocity has changed genre several times: Demo days : Death Metal/Grindcore Hallucinations + Todessehnsucht = Technical Death Metal Blut = Groovy Death/Thrash/Folk Metal Calling the Rain + After the Storm = Folk Metal Willenskraft = Death/Thrash w. various elements Die Liebe = Gothic/EBM/Industrial Werk 80 + Werk 80 II + Gemini = Gothic/Industrial Rock/Metal Atlantis + Okkult = Symphonic Industrial Death Metal The band was originally called Instigator, and played grindcore under that name. Atrocity played death metal until Todessehnsucht. However, on the album Blut they started to experiment with non-metal genres. For example, Werk 80 is an album consisted of covers of pop songs from the 1980s. Subsequently, on Atlantis Atrocity went back to extreme metal. |
