Since their humble start in1989 as an underground band from Medellin, Colombia, ATHANATOR havemanaged to establish themselves as one of America’s top thrash metal actsthrough hard work, relentless concerts, and consistently solid albums. What hasset ATHANATOR apart from the rest of the metal scene since the verybeginning is their use of death obsession and imagery in lyrics and artwork, aswell as a talent for writing epic, memorable melodies, which underline theirsolemn yet killer approach to heavy music.
The band went through theusual demo recordings and line-up changes in the beginning stages, but in 2000made its first mark with the CD “Rise the Death”. A one-off affair with(of all places) Colombia’s LIXO Sonido & Discos, this CD did not only plantATHANATOR’s flag in the underground metal landscape, but also gained the band amulti-fan around the world.
In 2002 a tribute to Slayercalled “Rise the Slaughter”, led the band as the first thrash metal acthonored by metal fanzines, e-zines and every metal head in the town. They havebeen in many sold-out concerts catching fans, performing on many gigs includinga support show for German Thrashers: DESTRUCTION.
Ateneo Porfirio Barba JacobCorporation signed a deal with ATHANATOR to release at mid 2004, their “Earthof Blood” album.15 tunes from the old school thrash metal with new soundssupported by promotional video clips and many shows across the country that putATHANATOR on international carpet and opened doors for independent labels inUSA, Germany and Rise Star Records from Chile to plug the album across theworld.
The fourth CD arrives forSeptember 2006. It join explicit lyrics that fed their experiences, as well asinspiration from their own nightmares: “The Perfect Enemy” an album witheleven aggressive and powerful thrash sounds, frenetic lyrics, and fast andfurious riffs supported by marching beats that fill any brain withschizophrenic metal. The Perfect Enemy available worldwide throughwww.cdbaby.com it comes with a heavy support in videos, interviews as well asshows sharing stages with American masters: Sadus, Krisiun, from Brasil andCarajo from Argentina as well as many, many more concerts and internationalfestivals! LikeAltavoz, during 2006/2008.
For 2009Combine extreme music with an edgy, biting implacability, complement it withtruly motivated lyrics that have a distinct tendency to point the finger atgrievances and aren't afraid of exposing abhorrent facts, and you just mightget a sense of the pandemonium of sounds on “Architect of Disaster”, thelatest recording by Colombia's cult thrash metal act. This time around wewanted to deliver as dynamic of a production as possible. There can be no doubtthat we've achieved our target in Architect of Disaster. The album wasrecorded, and produced Jose Uribe our creative fifth man, again. The result isexactly what one would expect from ATHANATOR in terms of its energy andstylistic direction to be nominated as best hard rock album at end 2010 byShock Magazine. Architect of Disaster brilliantly conveys the same intenseenergy that ATHANATOR is known for in their live stage shows during thefollowing years.
