For the past 10 years, Atomic Neon have established themselves as a household name among fans of Post-Punk, Wave and Goth-Rock throughout Europe. Though often compared to the likes of The Cure due to the melancholy-laden vocals of singer Rio Black, Atomic Neon have developed their very own remarkably original style based on a variety of influences. Guitar-driven, song-oriented harmonic structures paired with dark atmospheric orchestral soundscapes fit perfectly to the bleak yet passionately poetic lyrics of Rio Black. Full of bittersweet pain, pitch-black and at times beautifully sinister...such is the music of Atomic Neon! This diversity, their persisting sincere approach to dark, psychedelic music and numerous well received live performances throughout Europe have earned Atomic Neon in their ten year anniversary 2017 much respect among fans around the globe.
Founded in 2007 Rio Black, vocalist and only constant member of the band, the band released its debut EP ‘Life on Earth’ on Motor Music the same year. Their critically acclaimed debut along with a compelling performance on WGT's Agra stage, opening for Fields of the Nephilim, got Atomic Neon signed onto Black Rain, one of Germany's foremost gothic/industrial labels at the time. In addition to 3 studio albums ("Darkenia" 2009, "Change" 2011 and "Down" 2015) Atomic Neon have issued a number of side-releases on various Indie labels, that showed a quite different side of Atomic Neon's Music, that is normally more minimalistic and rooted in 1980s Coldwave and atmospheric synth sounds, unlike their heavily guitar-driven, elaborate main work.
Released late May 2018 on Alice In...
