Cheers and beers to Sam Totman from @dragonforcehq for filming some of our set last night at @konzertfabrik_z7 \m/ To say this was a killer gig is a massive understatement...

#wbw to “Read Between the Lines” filmed during our most recent gig in Zürich back in February! We really lucked out on the timing of that tour... If it had been booked even just a few few days later it likely wouldn’t have happened due to Covid-19! Thanks again to @dragonforcehq and @frozencrownofficial for being so cool to us on the road and thanks to each and every one of you who came out and supported!! \m/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #athanasia #athanasiametal #theorderofthesilvercompass #obelisk #mmxx #dragonforce #frozencrown #ffdp #5fdp #fivefingerdeathpunch #megadeth #metallica #slayer #archenemy #powerwolf #sabaton #ironmaiden #dio #ronniejamesdio #heavymetal #thrashmetal #blackmetal #calebandrewbingham #calebbingham #cosplay #longhair #longhairedmen #guyswithlonghair #flyingv (at Konzertfabrik Z7 - Pratteln) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqrcnIJuJf/?igshid=p417rorjamc5

Well... Tonight we would have been onstage playing a festival gig alongside old school Florida thrashers Nasty Savage but instead we are at home being socially distant and reminiscing of better days.

“I would dare say that we are closer to defining what could be called ‘our’ sound as Athanasia on this album… It’s a little more refined and cohesive than “The Order of the Silver Compass” was. As far as influences or comparisons go, I always tell people that if Dio, WASP and Judas Priest got it on with Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth and then Dissection, Immortal and Hypocrisy joined in on the fun, the resulting musical bastard son would sound something like Athanasia... Hahaha!” _ @calebandrewbingham sat down with @metalhammerpt earlier this week for an interview and review of our latest single “Obelisk!” Portuguese speaking readers can check out the full article here: _ https://metalhammer.pt/athanasia-na-ponta-do-obelisco/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #athanasia #athanasiametal #theorderofthesilvercompass #obelisk #mmxx #newsingle #newmusic #newvideo #newmusicvideo #musicvideos #interview #review #musicreview #musicreviews #musicmagazine #calebbingham #calebandrewbingham #metalhammer #metalhammermagazine #metalhammerportugal (at Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1WN4tFssI/?igshid=139ibv3bebh0r

NMM UPDATE: _ Unfortunately due to Covid-19 @nordicmetalmeeting has been postponed... Details are as follows: _ “We have decided to postpone NMM20 with a year due to the COVID-19 situation. The new weekend is on 24-25 September 2021. Tickets already bought will be valid for 2021. If for some reason you are unable to attend in 2021 you can return your tickets until 31.5.2020. We are now working on getting the artists moved to 2021 and we will be informing everyone about it in all our channels.” _ To say we are disappointed about this is an understatement, but we’re looking forward to playing at the fest next year instead when this whole mess finally blows over!! \m/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #athanasia #athanasiametal #theorderofthesilvercompass #obelisk #mmxx #nordicmetalmeeting #postponed #postponeduntilnextyear #fuckcorona #fuckcovid19 #coronavirus #coronavírus #coronavirüs #helsinki #helsinkimetal #finland #finnishmetal #2020cancelled #staythefuckhome #stayhome #stayhomestaysafe #stayhomesavelives (at Kaapelitehdas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_FAc3JAH3n/?igshid=5vuyout06su0

Today we’d like to present a little #tbt post reminiscing back to a particularly debaucherous evening spent hanging out under red lights in Paris with the infamous #samtotman after a sold out show with @dragonforcehq a few weeks back. Countless beers were drank... Numerous birds were flipped... A plethora of notes were played at extremely high tempos... Hoping we’ll make it back to Paris real soon!! _ _ Photography by @infernali71 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #athanasia #athanasiametal #theorderofthesilvercompass #obelisk #mmxx #calebbingham #calebandrewbingham #samtotmangavemehisbeer #samtotmanatillowesmeabeer #dragonforce #frozencrown #longhair #longhairedmen #longhairedguys #menwithlonghair #cosplay #flippingthebird #powerwolf #gloryhammer #ffdp #5fdp #fivefingerdeathpunch #heavymetal #thrashmetal #moulinrouge #redlightdistrict #paris #parisienne (at Le Moulin Rouge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-e3Lq1APUH/?igshid=dbw5p0bp4vsb
