Atoma ( proper spelling AtomA ) is a Swedish post-rock band from Stockholm , which was formed in 2011.
history
The band was officially formed in 2011 after the doom metal band Slumber split up . The year before, material for a debut album was recorded within eight weeks in the recording studio The Panic Room under the direction of Thomas "Plec" Johansson . The sound carrier was released in 2012 via Napalm Records under the name Skylight . An appearance at ProgPower Europe was planned for 2013 , but the group was replaced by Dimaeon .
style
Melanie Aschenbrenner from Metal Hammer assigned Skylight to post-rock, although the group lacks hardness for real post-rock. The album's intro is reminiscent of the “bubbling of ZDF science programs” before it turns into “a kind of Safri Duo ”. The theme song offers Gwar singing before a cut comes and the group sounds like Pink Floyd . The drums on the album sound programmed.
