ATRAMENT
The follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2014 debut, 'Travail.'
After disrupting the modern progressive metal world with their critically acclaimed 2014 debut 'Travail,' A Sense of Gravity have returned to the scene with the 12 song, 67-minute masterpiece 'Atrament.' The new album amplifies the best elements of 'Travail' with even catchier arrangements, grander symphonic orchestration, more ridiculous virtuosity and with it all sonically enriched by Simone Mularoni's world-class mixing and mastering.
THE BAND
Six polite, well-educated gentlemen that make metal.
Combining searing riffs with powerful melodies, contemporary harmony, polyrhythmic grooves, and virtuosic solos, A Sense of Gravity is dedicated above all to strong, musical composition and moving songwriting. Formed in 2011, the Seattle band spent their first years crafting the unique sound they are known for today by fusing modern progressive metal with classic prog, death metal, jazz fusion, and the occasional dose of cinematic orchestral music.
In 2014, the six-piece released their debut album Travail, which was received with worldwide critical acclaim, drawing comparisons to bands such as Between the Buried and Me, Dream Theater, and Meshuggah. Described as "…already bringing an A-game strong enough to potentially dethrone the long-seated kings of the genre," A Sense of Gravity have returned after two years of passionate dedication to their craft with the natural follow-up to their debut: Atrament, a 67-minute masterpiece of progressive metal.
