Finally gonna throw a bone here: peaks-and-valleys cinematic metal a la Neurosis, Harvey Milk, Boris, Opeth, Isis, Tool but with our own emphasis on filmic thematic development, really "off" psychedelic textures, and hairpin dynamic turns. Perhaps like a heavier Floyd or a hookier Kayo Dot. Buy here:
"The Atomic Bomb Audition achieved a work of art; all the while respecting the touch of craziness avant-garde listeners ask for. This album is one to be played loud, and constantly." - Samy Bennaoui, The Silent Ballet
"Oakland’s The Atomic Bomb Audition makes the kind of mind-numbingly loud, classically informed music that shakes the inside of your skin, and makes you check your pulse and your receiver to prevent either of these from blowing out." - Oscar Medina, SF Weekly
"With seemingly boundless sonic ingenuity, Eleven Theatres unfolds as a vivid, sensuous document so full of pleasant surprises that it's not hard to imagine the Atomic Bomb Audition sharing a bill with Laurie Anderson, Tortoise, Shellac, or hell, Morrissey." - Nathan Baker, SF Bay Guardian
Hailing out of Oakland, CA, ABA (or The Atomic Bomb Audition if you're not into the whole brevity thing) presents its own brand of aural filmmaking. Tides of processed percussion and voice cascade around grand themes unfolding towards the horizon. In this vision, surf guitars make way for discordant soundscapes; electronic drones enter civil unions with folk melodies, and doom ascends from the abyss in riff form. To compress this vision, imagine Ennio Morricone leading The Melvins, or if Rod Serling produced the soundtrack to Fantasia. To date we've released two albums: Eleven Theatres (2006) and Light Will Remain (2008). Both of these are available for free download/streaming at theatomicbombaudition.bandcamp.com or for old school physical purchase via the links at the left of this page.
Thank you. We hope this foray into the digital land of personas, excessive self-portraits, and papier-mache souls will find the right people and allow us to successfully communicate with our friends, old and new. as above,so below.
