verminn Love this shit man, big up Chad Kapper Favorite track: Globe City.

Deaf & Stupid getting absolutely pummeled by memory lane right now. HOLDS UP. Favorite track: Diary Of The Runner.

FLESH MECHANIC This has always been my favorite version of the album, the sound is just so raw and it hits like a freight train. Huge props for actually preserving so much of the WKGS material and making it available for everyone, it would be such a shame for these gems to be lost to time. Will definitely come back for the rest of the stuff down the line. Favorite track: Stall.

about

This demo version of ATMOR was the final version we originally intended to release for you all. Real drums tracked and a slightly different tracklisting with a few old favorites that we intended to include at the time. I believe this may have been the version that the hard drive containing all the stems crashed and we lost it all before the final master. We had another version as well that had leaked early and we scrapped that, just not sure on what the real story is behind this one.

Regardless, this is a vicious version of this album that hits hard and has a raw and different feel to it, plus with all the songs having a different version to them too.

Fan favorites like Globe City and Your Basic Western made this version as well.

Please enjoy!

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

One of my new favorite groups. /Hope and its lyrics (particularly near the end) made me misty eyed. tooljirashugg

This album absolutely rips. It’s the long-missing piece between The Voyager and Inverted. All the elements that make ADO so great are in full force with Kapper’s signature harshes, pummeling microtonal riffs, and oppressive heaviness. It’s a must-buy for fans of the band. Rowan Sauer
