ATENA comment on the single: “An energetic & motivating song great for work outs. Finding that inner spark when things are getting hard. We are big fans of electronic music, so being able to incorporate that to our sound gave us new spark as a band and helped shape the message of the song.”
ATENA have pushed through to become one of the most noteworthy metalcore acts from Norway 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 occur through life. ATENA’s latest, critically acclaimed album “Drowning Regret & Lungs Filled With Water” earned them international praise. According to Metal Hammer UK, “Atena’s willingness to push boundaries needs to be applauded”, while one of Norway’s biggest newspapers Dagbladet praised them for being “something semi-exotic in the Norwegian metal flora.”
