Connecticut's ATROCITY To Record New Full-Length CD For OPEN GRAVE RECORDS

March 15, 2007

Reunited Torrington, Connecticut-based thrash/hardcore act ATROCITY (not to be confused with the German band) have signed with Open Grave Records for a brand new full-length album, due out late 2007/early 2008. Earlier this year Open Grave Records released ATROCITY's "Contaminated", which featured alternative recordings from the original, "Infected" sessions back in 1990.

In other news, ATROCITY will record a cover of "I See A Darkness" for the upcoming JOHNNY CASH tribute album, titled "A Metal Tribute to the Man in Black", which is scheduled for a summer release on Open Grave Records. Other confirmed artists include MASTER, MY SILENT WAKE, GODLESS RISING, FROST LIKE ASHES, KEKAL, SKITZO, SUPERTRUCK, SACRIFICIUM, EXTERMINANCE, SUPAWIDE, and TRANSFIGURAL FORM.

Formed in early 1985 by Rob Wedda (vocals),Rich Flint (bass),Scott Reynolds (guitar) and Jeff White (drums),ATROCITY had pushed out three demos ("Toxic Death", "Ravaged by Disease", "Mangled") and a self-financed seven-inch EP, entitled "Hatred Birth", by 1989. They soon caught the attention of U.K.-based Metalcore Records, a subsidiary of Plastichead Distribution, whom they ultimately signed with.

ATROCITY's first album, "Infected" (1990),is very raw and featured a very violent death metal/grind sound. The second album, "The Art of Death" (1992),saw a lineup change when Scott left the band and was replaced by Jesse Piechowski on guitar.
