In Episode 225 of And Now The Band, Tom sits down with Wade and Cameron of ATOLL, the brutal death metal force out of Arizona, to talk everything from metal tour struggles to controversial album covers and the future of their band.
We dive deep into ATOLL’s prolific output — 5 full-length albums and an EP since 2014 — and the creative process behind fan favorites like "Gay for God", their NSFW merch ideas (severed penis keychains, anyone?), and what’s next for the band as they gear up for more shows and a new album.
⚰️ Topics include:
Atoll's brutal live shows and discography
Hilarious behind-the-scenes stories (including a Mike Tyson wedding plan)
Album production insights with Demigod Miguel
Touring in the post-COVID era
Creative marketing in the extreme metal scene
DIY booking and starting their own agency
Cities that make or break underground shows
Love for Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Pantera, and more
The balance between metal mayhem and pet cuddles (yes, really)
Whether you're into brutal death metal, underground tour culture, or just wild band stories, this episode delivers.
