There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Atrocity is a German band formed in Ludwigsburg. They started out as a death metal band, and their debut was the Blue Blood EP in 1989 followed by a concept album about drug use named Hallucinations. Their second album Todessehnsucht ventured into technical death metal, featuring a cover of “Arch Angel” by the band Death. Their musical scope broadened during the years, and the band even discovered medieval and horror influences on their Dracula based concept album Atrocity’s Blut, named after the successful motion picture Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It was released on 1994, and was followed by Calling The Rain mcd with included guest female vocals and acoustic themes.
The 1996 release Willenskraft introduced industrial elements, and the special bonus CD of the album’s special edition (Kraft Und Wille) included even electronic remixes of the songs. The later releases saw original metal in decline: the following release Werk 80 featured versions of 1980’s 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) banished most of the fans. After year 2000 nothing was heard from Atrocity, and it was commonly thought they had just quit.

German Atrocity - sellouts who compromised their sound after Todessehnsucht. the US Connecticut Atrocity - grindcore death metal legends who stayed true to their brutal sound.

Hallucinations is a cool album, good mix of Effigy Of The Forgotten-murkiness and None So Vile-weirdness.

ROFL @ post-Todessehnsucht Atrocity. What happened, did the band drink Gay Fuel, start listening to their gay uncles' Village People albums and drop the soap too many times?

The first two albums are superb, both 10/10. The way Death Metal should be done. The rest can be thrown into the trash can without batting an eyelid.

a review of Blut, courtesy of anus.com: Their first album was good cryptic death metal, and their second a feast of technical death metal that could compete with the American bands. Next logical move? Why, go Goth metal, of course, probably because after the 11th beer what record label execs say almost seems sensible. So Atrocity excreted this poppy, dance-friendly piece of crap, and now the only people who buy it are Germans, out of misplaced national loyalty. (True story: I found one at a garage sale in the distant suburbs two months ago, proving just how far metalheads will drive to drop off this furry turd.)
