Heavy Rock meets adventure and DIY mentality
The North German „organ-driven heavy rock“ band Mount Atlas combines modern hard rock with Hammond organ, synthesizers, and heavy retro-doom riffs that sound as heavy as they were played in equally heavy leather jackets. Their refreshingly distinctive and varied songs draw influences from bands like Deep Purple, Ghost, and Black Sabbath.
Mount Atlas originated from the doom metal band The Coffin Riders, which experienced a special highlight in their career in 2015: they were invited by the German Embassy in Tbilisi to perform at the Caucasus premiere of the film Wacken 3D in the capital of Georgia. For this performance, vocalist Jonas Willenbrink joined the band, and his distinctive voice fit so perfectly that it marked the birth of Mount Atlas.
Their debut album TITAN (2017) generated significant attention both in the national and international rock scenes. This was followed by the MISTRESS EP in 2019 and the 7″ vinyl single „Magic Potion“ in 2022. In 2023, their album POSEIDON garnered radio airplay, interviews, and reviews across all relevant rock and metal magazines.
With numerous gigs across Germany, Scandinavia, and the Benelux countries, Mount Atlas has built a substantial fanbase through passion, dedication, and craftsmanship. This has been made possible by the five experienced musicians‘ „do-it-yourself“ mentality and carefully selected collaborations with underground labels, promoters, record stores, and fellow bands.
Lyrically, Mount Atlas is as multifaceted as their music. They effortlessly switch between personal insights, fictional stories, and adventurous settings, often inspired by Greek mythology, science fiction tales, or cult B-movies from the 1960s and 1970s.
It is this unique blend that not only excites fans of the genre but also attracts those who are captivated by playful energy, adventurous stories, and the diverse emotions expressed in the music.
