Atonia is the collaboration between Wyatt E (BE), Five the Hierophant (UK), and Tomer Damsky AKA MC Slice from JLM’s Wackelkontakt, specially commissioned for Roadburn Festival’s 2022 edition. The clash of musicians from the worlds of doom, drone, and psychotrap has produced this hybrid set, conceptually drawing on an array of ancient liturgical and folkloristic inspirations from Hebrew to Latin; a culmination of musical ideas by the three entities welded together on one hectic weekend and performed in front of an audience only once.
This record is a documentation of Atonia’s performance in Roadburn 2022, remembered as one of the most striking collaborations of that year.

The lyrical and melodic content, compiled by Damsky, offers a multilingual collection of interpretations of texts from the far-to-near past, each containing its own little abyss of symbolic, theological, and political contexts, sung-spoken-uttered-screamed in Damsky's voice that shifts smoothly between various musical worlds and soars on top of the sheer mass of instruments thundering from the eight-piece assembly on stage, hand in hand with the scorching expressiveness of Roffey's saxophone.
