Atrocity (band)

The 1996 release ''Willenskraft'' introduced industrial elements, and the special bonus cd of the album's special edition (''Kraft Und Wille'') included even electronic remixes of the songs. The later releases saw original metal in decline: the following release ''Werk 80'' featured versions of 1980's disco hits, and the band had no apparent direction for the following few years: the odd mcd-releases and experimental songs like ''Lili Marlene''-covers (featured on ''Gemini'') banished most of the fans. After year 2000 nothing was heard from Atrocity, and it was commonly thought they had just quit.

That was not the case, as the band had a perennial hiatus. They returned after four years with a brand new (and finally, full-length) album, ''Atlantis'' in 2004 . The album is again a concept album based on the Myth s of sunken continent of Atlantis , and musically it features more rock-like approach along to metal. The album also features the guest vocals of Alexander's wife, Liv-Kristine Espanaes Krull (formerly in Theatre Of Tragedy ).

Trivia: The exactly same band members form also the atmospheric metal band Leaves' Eyes , which has Liv Kristine as a lead vocalist.
