Ya know, it’s been a long time coming
since ATN has had any studio time. Man,
it feels like ages since we stepped up to the mic and let our songs &
anthems be recognized. Unfortunately, ATN’s
“right place right time” mojo went stagnant over the past few seasons, leaving
that creative edge of ours stewing on a back burner.
After “Sabbath Sessions” was
released some years back, the band came upon those dreaded cross roads that led
each of us down different paths. Though
hard to believe, it was undeniable just the same. Some paths better then others, sure, yet the
four of us had consequently vanished away from the call of the cause. Cyd headed back to New England, Gretch scurried
off to California, as Draci and I stuck it out
here in Arizona,
still losing touch. I desired to keep ATN alive, even though it felt like the coffin was cold. I sensed the best parts of my life were dying,
confusing me into a blind spot. I’m sure
we all distantly felt the same about ATN, even though we needed time to grow
beyond the dream. Stepping beyond the
music in search for the meaning, only to find our paths racing back to where we
first started. Rigor mortis fell short
& ATN was re-born later 2005.
I believe “Redemption” is the
perfect title for this up and coming release.
Here resides this bands determination & guilt to rise above its own
personal hell, and start living again.
The new songs are aggressive to the point of pleasure, and the lyrics
are the most truthful anthems of hope.
We’ve sweated blood once again to bring a new batch of songs that really
mean something to us, in turn meant for you.
ATN isn’t just a song, it’s a lifestyle.
I thank God for second chances, chances we hope to never take for
granted.
We want to hear from all of you
regarding “Redemption”. What do you want
to know? What are some of your fevered
ideas? This forum is meant for the fans
& friends of ATN, your voices count. Let’s get this forum started… Salieb
