about

Atomçk are UK grindcore veterans, enmeshed in the scene, abrasive and obtuse. Their stubborn persistence in this most unnerving of styles is founded on snare hit hard, guitars played too loud and vocal cords thoroughly abused.
They hail from the olde wyldes of the West, with an eye firmly fixed on the menace of (the) Capital.
Now with The Afternoon Gentlemen's Barthur on bass.

Press for TOWERING FAILUES:

"Newly expanded to a quartet... Towering Failures is undoubtedly the band’s heaviest and most sonically flattening release to date, boasting a gigantic tone that sounds downright apocalyptic on slower numbers... For the most part though, this album races past at lightspeed, but manages to convey a host of different moods and textures in amongst its frantic delivery... Atomçk have been getting better and better with each subsequent album, but this is surely their most powerful and definitive record to date, and one of the most inventive and memorable grindcore records of the year thus far." -The Quietus

"Like a budgie with a whistle"- Ninehertz

"A bright punk attack to start, tumbling headfirst into deranged vocals, lurching monster riffs and all the punchy grind and gallop required to get sweaty crowds running around in the properly approved circles. They drag in elements from crust, black metal coldness, chugging death metal, and keep it all churning through short energetic blasts." -The Sleeping Shaman

"In an age where experimentation without consideration is rampant, Towering Failures is living proof that there’s still new avenues to explore within the underbelly of grind without deterring from the blueprint etched by it’s founders. Depravingly chaotic and bluntly ravaging, this record affirms Atomçk’s standing as one of the most energetic and inventive names in UK grind and stands as a must listen for anyone seeking high-octane music in it’s most extreme and uncompromising form." - Noizze

"UK Grindcore act Atomçk are back with their fourteenth release, Towering Failures. This rip-roaring record is chock-full of neck-snapping riffs and primal, almost ape-like screeching, but surprises listeners with sporadic moments of melody. It feels weird to describe a grindcore record as “infectiously fun”, but it kinda fits for a record as enjoyable as Towering Failures." - Outsidenoise

"Wildly combative shit, with vocalist Linus’ animalistic screams, roars, and manic shrieks standing out as particularly hysterical. Luke’s guitars are chunky and brutish, while the overdriven fuzz of Barthur’s bass and the just-raw-enough tones of Karl’s drums are a magic made in grind heaven." - Noobheavy

"The best thing about these guys is their style, it’s not trivial, boring, or “clone of the clones”, guys are making something their own (but of course using an old-school base)...Atomçk managed to create such an interesting record. Songs are full of energy, and interesting twists. It also has a powerful guitar line, with solid sound and riff." -Good Guys Go Grind

"It’s a most energetic crusher that, rhythmically speaking, gets in ample wriggling and twisting while it’s blasting. “Brain Rot,” the LP’s first song, sounds weirdly hardcore—like post-VOID type hardcore—if you ignore the textbook grind snare sound and inhuman screeching vocals, at least. Thereafter, eighteen more portions of buckwild tempo-pushing, sludgy dropouts, guitar parts with justifiable prog ambitions." - Maximum Rocknroll

"These UK grinding weirdos released a stellar album in Every Room In Britain six years ago, but Towering Failures tops it, for sure... building on the ripping grindcore base of Every Room and improving it, sonically, creatively, and in just about every way. " -Your Last Rites
