If I may, I’d like you to go straight ahead to the ninth track called “Homeland” which is a great example of what I’m trying to tell you. No wonder it’s the longest track of “Tales of a Pathfinder,” but it’s worth every single minute. The guitar phrase that opens it is very sensitive and inspired giving just the right dose of emotion and passion. Do you remember what I told about passion and Metal bands? Well, here we’ve got a great example. But the better is still to come. The way vocals match with instrumental is colossal. The contrast of the sweet guitar phrase with the harsh vocals plus a chorus is remarkable. I bet that by the middle of it you will be staring at the skies with that look. If you can take it until the piano starts, you are a cold hearted metalhead – hahahahaha. And if you don’t even sing along the guitar phrases, man, you’ve got something wrong inside!
Stay away from “Tales of a Pathfinder” if you don’t like strong emotion. This is an album planned to make you sing along and feel whatever you desire to feel.
Atlas Pain “Tales of a Pathfinder” was released on April 19th via Scarlet Records.

Watch “Homeland” official video here – I told you so:
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
