ATON FIVE

ATON FIVE was born in 2014, a mix of prog, 70's hard rock, psychedelia and a touch of stoner. A group surfing on the atmosphere of PINK FLOYD, DEEP PURPLE, TANGERINE DREAM, ELDER, HIDRIA SPACEFOLK, offering supercharged vintage from the 2020s; from the basic instrumental with shimmering variations, a 2nd opus scraping the atmosphere of the last decades to concoct an unforgettable moment, here we go.

"Alienation" a edgy instrumental, prog metal base with psychedelic break; long variation with flamboyant keyboards on an imposing rhythm; the finale on an undulating synth-guitar duo for a sound apart, an imprint beyond the criteria. "Naked Void" bases invasive synths, psychedelic post-rock with sounds coming from shooting stars; an epic title where the guitar is master, where the percussions and various organs accompany it; to decipher, to clear, to tear off the banks of interstellar clouds which pass in front of you; the sound comes at the end on a ride of keyboards by Anton pursuing the crazy guitar of Alexander. "Clepsydra" for the short piece, the one that will vibrate in your ears, between a "Once upon a time" and a humming stellar echo; monolithic and metronomic, a title to light up dark nights, perhaps the shortest, but also the most intense. "Danse Macabre" for a narcissistic, intimate anthology smoothly conducted; the more present guitar reminded me at times of MALMSTEEN or RAINBOW, at others of DREAM THEATER in their escapade; the finale for a rehash of once again, for the latency and the unique atmosphere. "Lethe" intro on a boat, not that of PINK FLOYD although so precisely with this typed bass; over 20 minutes of progressive declination with a hypnotic trans base; a psychedelic spatial sound that looks like? but has its own trademark; in the 1st third it rises in a grandiloquent, symphonic way to render a psychedelic sound of PINK FLOYD from the Belle Epoque. Alexander not only plays, he lends his voice here for a dreamlike phrasing worthy of a NASA sequence; the 3rd phase with Alexander's guitar which this time sends you into hyperspace in order to avoid a possible return, the rhythm becomes nervous, heavy, incandescent, it explodes pleasantly until the final detuned, end which causes emptiness , lack.

ATON FIVE with its unique psyche-atmo-retro-heavy-stoner-prog surfs on instrumental prog metal; a space metal prog sound that sends into space and leaves in orbit; after the pandemic it is good to listen to new musical blood knowing precisely that this album comes from the covid period; a tearful, defeatist sound, an innovative, playful sound, a stoner, hypnotic sound, a sound bringing wisdom and abnegation, a simple and beautiful sound, effective and colorful from which all the palettes of the rainbow are declined; a relaxing sound where the relaxation is beautiful, where the sound will ogle the MOTORPSYCHO; a sound apart that feels good in these moments when everything repeats itself, everything languishes, creative.
