We are extremely proud to announce that ATLANTEAN KODEX “The Golden Bough” made it ROCK HARD’s Germany Record of the Month!! It is with great excitement that we announce this, and we are  very proud that one of the most influential metal magazines in Germany recognized the value and power of their own best heavy metal band!! The Bavarian combo has finally taken its own land by storm, and “The Golden Bough” is the living proof of this achievement. Click on the picture to read the full review, in German, of course. Many thanks to Michael for the scans!!

This is a scan of ROCK HARD’s soundcheck where every writer is giving the record his own vote. If you still haven’t purchased the album, the humble suggestion is to do it now, so that in a few years you will probably be able to tell your friends “I got it when it first came out and that first edition now is one of the jewels of my record collection”. Do not think twice!!

ATLANTEAN KODEX “The Golden Bough”: best Epic Metal album of the year?

EnricoLeave a comment

This is the questions that many of you, and even us at Cruz del Sur Music, are keeping on asking. From the land of Bavaria, best known to the world for its tasty beers and commercial Oktoberfests, ATLANTEAN KODEX hails and kill, keeping it in an epic, Manowar-esque fashion.

Some of the early press responses have been just overwhelming :

“There is no metal truer than this. The Golden Bough thunders and shimmers like a storm of everything True Metal is supposed to be. The riffs are worthy of Quorthon at his best, the melodies are beyond haunting, and the production is heavy as a fucking iron warhammer.(…) Not only the best metal music of the year, but one of the most significant and deep albums ever made”

“Get ready for one of the most chilling, hair raising and just plain brilliant metal releases of the year!!!! I’m honestly not over exaggerating either, if you have not gotten your full dose of melodic, epic, and ultimately heavy quite yet then prepare to be flattened to being almost transparent by the Atlantean Kodex!!!!(…) This thing actually gives me goosebumps, I mean honest tingling and a “deer in the headlights” expression on my face as my epidermis puckers in places. The whole album is so astounding and completely intense, this will humble many for sure.”

We decided to ask a few questions to guitarist Manuel Trummer, trying to understand which is the secret behind the bands’ formula of success: Read more “ATLANTEAN KODEX “The Golden Bough”: best Epic Metal album of the year?”
