Formed in Norway, ATENA has emerged as one of the most notable and experimental metalcore acts in the country. With their fusion of classic metalcore and urban soundscape, the band addresses the challenges faced by new generations. Combining heavy guitars, electronic samples, and hip-hop influences, ATENA's music explores darker episodes of life while drawing inspiration from classical composers.

Drawing inspiration from classical composers, hip hop, and a passion for heavy music, ATENA crafts songs that explore darker episodes of life, creating a captivating and introspective journey for their listeners. 

ATENA's previous album, "Drowning Regret & Lungs Filled with Water," received critical acclaim both domestically and internationally.
