With influences ranging from the Deftones to Neurosis, Cave In to Quicksand, and pulling in pieces from all that is heavy in between, THE ATLAS MOTH's swamp-worthy sludge epics are heavier than sin, a call for cleansing and nothing short of brutally honest. A Glorified Piece of Blue Sky is a jaw-dropping debut that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
