The band always had a strong affinity to topics dealing with nature, and CORONATUS’ 10th studio album “Atmosphere” is no exception.
This new record is a concept album in a very wide sense, since some of the songs deal with a special part of our nature, namely atmospheric phenomena or things and processes related to it: Like the weather, for example, which often reflects a special mood as well. This includes saying things like “I am as right as rain“, which you might say if you are feeling well again. Or think of birds like ravens, doves, or eagles, which often have a strong and certain meaning to different folks.
The new songs also deal with our speech, which often uses metaphors out of a vocabulary describing atmospheric phenomena, i.e., “it hit us like lightning”. This shows the overwhelming importance of the atmosphere in our daily life. On the other hand, some songs deal with the ambiguity of the word atmosphere since it also refers to moods or feelings, among others.
The atmosphere surrounds and connects us in an actual as well as a spiritual sense, and no life is imaginable without it. This might be a trivial statement, however, CORONATUS wants you to remember to think about what is often taken for granted, but unfortunately and as sad as it sounds, nothing is guaranteed
anymore nowadays.
