AtrocityAtrocity is a German Germany metal Heavy metal music band band (music) formed in Ludwigsburg. The 1996 release Willenskraft introduced industrial elements, and the special bonus CD of the album's special edition (Kraft und Wille) even included electronic remixes of the songs. The later releases were less and less metallic: Werk 80 featured versions of 1980s disco hits, and the band had no apparent direction for the following few years: the odd MCD-releases and experimental songs like Lili Marlene-covers (featured on Gemini) estranged many of the original metal fans. The entire Atrocity line-up (plus Alex Krull's wife Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull) also functions as Leaves' Eyes. Liv did live vocals for Atrocity as well. Atrocity has confirmed to be part of the Wacken Open Air tour held in Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. This is one of the biggest summer heavy metal festivals, including more than 60 bands.After 2000 nothing was heard from Atrocity, and they seemed to have disbanded. However, they returned after four years with a brand new album, Atlantis. This is again a concept album, based on the myths mythology of the sunken continent of Atlantis. The album also features the vocals of Alexander's wife, Liv-Kristine Espanaes Krull Liv Kristine (formerly in Theatre of Tragedy). The band members also formed the atmospheric metal band Leaves' Eyes, which features Liv Kristine as lead singer. On 11 November 2007, Atrocity announced that bassist Chris Lukhaup had to leave the band due to personal reasons, and that drummer Moritz Neuner is taking another turn in his working career. They are currently looking for a new bassist and drummer. Seven Antonopolous was named as the new drummer in late October 2008.
