ATROCITY started back in the heyday of the metal underground. Not to be confused with the
German band, ATROCITY was formed in early 1985 in Torrington, Connecticut by Rob Wedda
(V), Rich Flint (B), Scott Reynolds (G) and Jeff White (D) and Bill Daner (G). The band is/was
influenced by underground genres from thrash to hardcore and punk to death metal as well as
classic metal. By 1989 the band had pushed out three demos („Toxic Death”, „Ravaged by
Disease”, „Mangled”) and a self-financed 7 EP entitled „Hatred Birth”. Bill left the band soon
after „Ravaged By Disease” and was not replaced. ATROCITY soon caught the attention of U.K.
based Metalcore Records, a subsidiary of Plastic Head Distribution, to with they ultimately
signed with. ATROCITY's first album - „Infected” (1990), is very raw and featured a very
violent death metal/grind sound. Reviews of „Infected” landed ATROCITY into the ranks of
early Napalm Death and Repulsion. The second album „The Art of Death” (1992) saw a line-up
change when Scott left the band and was replaced by Jesse Piechowski on guitar. „The Art of
Death” is also better produced, but the band's aggressive mix of death and grind were still
prevalent. ATROCITY disbanded in 1993 but are back to writing new noise with the original
album line-up. May 2007 as they say history tends to have a way of repeating itself. Due to
personal issues Scott was once again replaced by Jesse. This transition has proven to be
a solid line-up for the new album which was recorded at UP Recording Studio with Simon
Tuozzoli and produced together as ATROCITY and Tuozzoli. It's titled „Let War Rage” and
contains 18 tracks of the best old school American death metal mixed with punk, hc and grind
influences!
