Mad About Rock

  From wild, remote Scotland, North Atlas combine imagery from their Celtic pagan roots with a dynamic industrial rock sound. Fresh from their ‘Heathen Underground’ headline UK Tour, they have just released new single ‘Dead Tree’ which marks the beginning of a new era for the band and is the follow up to their 2023 EP ‘The Longest Shadow Attached To The Ankle’.
