Atala Announce Shaman’s Path of the Serpent for May Release

atala

Californian heavy rockers Atala are making their way east this summer to take part in the Maryland Doom Fest on June 24. They’ll do so having newly-released Shaman’s Path of the Serpent, the follow-up to their 2014 self-titled debut (review here). To the best of my knowledge, this is the EP they recorded with Billy Anderson prior to heading out on a West Coast run last summer. Not that Atala were hurting for sonic heft before, as the record showed, but I’d expect with Anderson at the board they’re going to up their game in that regard.

As a preview of desert sludge to come, Atala have posted a new video for the eight-minute stomper “Levity,” which you can see below, under the info from the PR wire and the cities and dates for the upcoming tour. Have at it:

U.S. Desert Rockers ATALA to Release ‘Shaman’s Path of the Serpent’ in May

California Desert/Stoner Rock Heavies ATALA will release Shaman’s Path of the Serpent on May 20. The band has released an official video for album cut “Levity.”

Shaman’s Path of the Serpent is available for pre-order at http://www.atalarock.com/store.

ATALA’s Shaman’s Path of the Serpent encapsulates the raw and mature essence of the band today. The album is a journey through the mind of guitarist/vocalist Kyle Stratton. Lord of Heaviness Billy Anderson (SLEEP, MELVINS, MASTODON) engineered the album, capturing the raw emotion and sonic heft that the band delivers in speaking to the listener. Shaman’s Path of the Serpent will leave the listener wondering if Stratton is lamenting the idea of death, reveling in the joy of its inevitability.

Track List:

1. Gravity
2. Levity
3. King Soloman
4. Shapeshifter
