Ater were born during september when Fez (bass) and
Shadowmaster (drums) met Neram (voice) and Tiziano
(guit). The arrangement of some material begun shortly, black melodic metal
with primordial and raw setting in the beginning and more melancholy, epic
and sometimes solemn after, alternating glacial and melodic riffs.
2006
After some gigs with local bands, Tiziano left Ater in November and Fez
became the guitarist.
2007 / 2008
With the joining of I (bass) and Samael (rhythmic guitar) the
previous songs were rearranged, and meanwhile Fez recorded the demo
“Arcane Terre” which obtains a good success & reviews. The band
takes part in local fests (some with Fearbringer, Otargos, Nefarium,
Frostmoon Eclipse, Esoteric) and the writing of new songs by Fez makes
Ater’s style more personal and different from the classic norwegian black
metal.
The harmony among the members grows, improving considerably the scenic
impact thanks to the employment of torces and fire effects. After many
concerts in Piemonte to promote the demo, the band decides to record the
first full-length in Chivasso (TO, Italy) at the “One Voice Studio”
of Daniele Giordana (sound F.O.H. for Obituary, Metallica, Motorhead and
producer for BlackFlame, Mindsnare, Daemusinem and many others) during the
summer.
After the mixing, Ater takes part in the shots of the brand new Alex
Infascelli’s movie, playing a song that will be part of the movie's
soundtrack, which will be released on may 2009 for Sky Cinema.
2009
Ater release the first full lenght entitled Oltre la Vetta as
self-distribution.
Si nessun problema assolutamente eheh;) si scherzava. Si avevamo suonato al new joker con I Daemusinem, era stata una gran bella data quella...la prima del nostro ritorno sulla scena live dopo dopo lungo tempo per varie vicissitudini e sfighe di ogni tipo... Ci fa piacere la vosra opinione, vediamo di combinare qualcosa insieme allora.
I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
