ATOMIC NUMBER 76
10 Track Demo
Self-financed Release |

Heavy, sweaty 70's styled metal with a touch of
COC and Iron Maiden is a strange mix but is the best way to
describe Atomic Number 76. The band is based out of New York City and has been together for one
year. These two tracks sound like they came
right out of an 8-track that had been burning up in a ''73 Dodge
Charger. "Born With No Soul" sounds like something T-Rex never
had the chance to write with its sludgy, psychedelic swagger.
"Bourbon Eyes" comes exceptionally close to be a direct lift of Iron
Maiden's "The Trooper" in certain parts of the song but then it
sways into a Sabbathy sludge jam in the middle. Bingo Sanatra's bass riffs are so brutally heavy and the guitars of Mauro Felipe
are tuned down way low. Sanatra has a smooth 70's rocker
voice, and the music is as stripped down as can be without being
plugged in at all.
Update 8/1/03:
Atomic Number 76 has recorded 8 more songs and now has released
a 10 track demo. "Devination" continues the Sabbath
love fest while "Prophecy" sounds like Tony Iommi's long
lost brother on guitar. Mauro Felipe plays guitar as if he is
in a thick, hazy cloud...of what, that is for you to decide.
The soloing he comes up with on "Blind" is wickedly
twisted and as heavy as hell. "100 Proof" calls to
mind the 70's version of the Alice Cooper Band. Closing track
"Alkihol" is a nasty instrumental well-capable of fueling
this beast of a band. I do not think it will be long before
Meteor City or a larger label is offering Atomic Number 76 some
green.
