about
Metalcore act ATENA hits all the right buttons with their new release Poison Pure!
Upon listening to ATENA's latest single, you are instantly struck by a delightful blend of electronic, nostalgic, and playful elements. However, it doesn't take long before their signature sound takes center stage, featuring a powerful and intense riff alongside gripping screaming vocals. In summary, ATENA's new track is an exceptional fusion of metalcore, electronic elements, and irresistibly catchy melodies.
The band states:
“The essence of the song revolves around toxic attachments to people, objects, drugs, or any other form of addiction. As members of the band, we are all too familiar with the experience of being hooked on something, and it's a complex feeling to look forward to indulging in that thing at the end of the day - knowing that it's not good for us, but brings temporary pleasure nonetheless. The song explores this bittersweet sensation of craving something that's ultimately detrimental to our well-being.”
lyrics
Lyrics:
It has a grip on me in my brain
Has everything I need
sum for the pain
It's killing me, poison pure, cut the roots I know it's the cure
No sleep for a week, sick of being the white sheep
but I can't leave
Every day is a fucking joke
I'll take something for the pain, to even the score
I don't believe anymore (break out)
But no matter the dream, the wish, the prophecy
The regret in my wake is my legacy
It has a grip on me in my brain
Has everything I need
sum for the pain
It's killing me, poison pure, cut the roots I know it's the cure
You're free to leave whenever you desire
I know, I Know
I wanna breathe in air, but still I pull in smoke
I know I know
I am free if I want to
I have dreams, But they won't do
I do the same things every day, hoping for change, what a joke
Have some heart, lead me there
I know I'm free, It's hard to bear
It has a grip on me in my brain
Has everything I need
sum for the pain
Its killing me, poison pure, cut the roots I know it's the cure
In my brain
There's everything I need
sum for the pain
Its killing me, poison pure, cut the roots I know it's the cure
You're free to leave whenever you desire
It has a grip on me in my brain
Has everything I need
sum for the pain
It's killing me, poison pure, cut the roots I know it's the cure
In my brain
There's everything I need
Sum for the pain
It's killing me, poison pure, cut the roots I know it's the cure

Atena have pushed through to become the forefronters of norwegian metalcore as
well as proving there’s more than black metal that roams in the country by extensive touring through Europe.
With a deep inspiration from hip hop, classical composers and love for heavy music the band entwine these elements together with lyrics of darker episodes that occurs through life....more
This album is overwhelmingly good. I've been making music for long enough and listened to too much music to not be impressed easily. This album is goosebumps from beginning till end. Completely different realm of existence of good. minerva
Iranian metal band Confess channel their struggles with political oppression and exile into cathartic, groovy thrash. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2022
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform.
Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next. quantumquail
