Brief Description
Hell Rockin' Black Fuckin' Metal from down under!
History/Biography
Atomizer, since its inception, has primarily been two people. For years we have tried to work within the parameters, or better said, confines of what a ‘band' should be. And after yet another year of egos, prima donna behaviour, and continual disappointments we have finally rejected this concept once and for all. Naturally, this does not mean that Atomizer will cease releasing records. This scenario presents quite the opposite, and we are now liberated to do as we please, write as we please, and no longer allow ourselves to be consumed by the idiotic and insecure restrictions that other ‘members' have tried to enforce during their generally short tenures with the ‘band'. This will also allow us to collaborate with other individuals, should we see fit, for various projects under the Atomizer banner. As long as the core remains, so to will Atomizer
