Chicago’s THE ATLAS MOTH unveil their epic full-length debut A Glorified Piece of Blue Sky via Candlelight/Battle Kommand on October 20th. An awesome metallic hybrid of sludge, doom, psychedelia and blues, TAM are a unique beast, and prove it on the eight expansive tracks that make form this, their debut full-length.
THE ATLAS MOTH had a record listening party on October 4th at Chicago's Kuma's Corner (http://www.myspace.com/kumascorner), the restaurant known for naming it's burgers after international and hometown favorite metal bands. Here they unveiled the mammoth "Atlas Moth Burger"... a 10 oz. slab of beef on waffles, topped with collared greens, fried chicken, chicken fried bacon and a bacon infused maple syrup. Amazing!
In Mid-October the band have a record release show at Reggie's with Kylesa and Saviours, and then hit the road for a full month across the US, mostly with Dark Castle and also working in a few days with Wetnurse, Across Tundras and more.

With influences ranging from the Deftones to Neurosis, Cave In to Quicksand, and pulling in pieces from all that is heavy in between, THE ATLAS MOTH's swamp-worthy sludge epics are heavier than sin, a call for cleansing and nothing short of brutally honest. A Glorified Piece of Blue Sky is a jaw-dropping debut that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
