Full of dark and enigmatic atmospheres, the self-titled
record is a 50-minute concept album divided into nine songs, which tells a
story about self-awareness. The instrumental consists of two guitars, a bass,
and drums that together form an ideal atmosphere for those who enjoy a deeper
journey. This is a creative album that seeks to forge the perfect alloy of
darkness and beauty.” – Athemon

A collaboration between Adriano Ribeiro and Tom MacLean
(ex-Haken/ To-Mera), Athemon is an anglo-brazilian metal band that seeks to
forge the perfect alloy of darkness and beauty. Out of a love for progressive
and intricate music, two musicians crossed paths online during the beginning of
the Covid global lockdown to create an everlasting experience. Living on
different continents, bassist/producer Tom MacLean (To-Mera, ex-Haken) in the
UK and vocalist and guitarist Adriano Ribeiro in Brazil, used the digital world
to their advantage and give rise to their new band Athemon.
“Adriano sent me his demo and it gave me goosebumps, so I was keen to get involved,”
says MacLean. From a significant evolution between demos to their final
introductory recordings, MacLean and Ribeiro created a bonding friendship over
musical interests that created the perfect environment to allow them to evolve
and conceive their debut full length. Formed as a gateway to express their art
using progressive metal music, Athemon will debut their self-titled album on
October 11th, 2021. The concept record is meant to be heard as one long
50-minute track divided into nine parts that will engage listeners on a journey
that’s enigmatic, deep in sentiment, and inject a fresh outlook of
self-perception during its intense and dark progressive atmosphere.
For the album’s recording, the band invited a special guest drummer from
Brazil, Gledson Gonçalves who added his percussionist touch to compliment each
one of the nine tracks.
“As nobody goes alone in this world (even being totally alone inside one’s own
mind), the songwriting process had a lonely beginning, but a very collaborative
end. The beginning of this project was driven by Adriano, but nothing would fit
so well if it wasn’t for the amazing connection the three of us have (Adriano,
Tom, and our special guest on drums, Gledson),” says MacLean.
The lyrics for the album were written by vocalist/guitarist Adrian Ribeiro and
were inspired by thoughts of how confusing reality can be if you are not taking
care of your emotional side. “The thin line between what’s real and what’s not
is an endless world,” adds Ribeiro.
New fans of Athemon, can expect much more to come from the pair as they already
have plans to launch their second album by the end of 2022, which they are
currently composing with promising results.
As for the live spectacle of Athemon, for now, the band will let the music flow
until the duo can connect from across the Atlantic for their first in-person
jam session.
Fun Facts:
Until 2013, Tom was the original bassist in Haken and guitarist in To-Mera. He
believes he’s one of a very small group of people to have opened for Dream Theater
in two different bands.
