Bio
ATAVUM is a one-person blackgaze and experimental black metal project inspired by the science-fiction universe of EVE Online and its setting, New Eden. Rather than using science fiction merely as a visual backdrop, ATAVUM draws on its darker philosophical possibilities: the instability of identity, the limits of human existence and the unsettling prospect of technological immortality.
ATAVUM is a one-person blackgaze and experimental black metal project inspired by the science-fiction universe of EVE Online and its setting, New Eden. Rather than using science fiction merely as a visual backdrop, ATAVUM draws on its darker philosophical possibilities: the instability of identity, the limits of human existence and the unsettling prospect of technological immortality.
The project explores themes of cloning, consciousness transfer, transhumanism and existential dread. Its musical and conceptual world brings atmospheric black metal into dialogue with the vast, hostile and mysterious universe of New Eden.
ATAVUM is an independent, one-person project. Forsaken Sanctum is its first public release: a three-track statement introducing the project's sound and conceptual universe.
