Missa Atropos

'Missa Atropos' was the 2011 studio album from acclaimed Norwegian Post-Progressive band Gazpacho & their first for the Kscope label. The follow-up to 2009's 'Tick Tock', 'Missa Atropos' is an ambitious concept album. Dealing with themes of death, fear & loneliness, it combines the band's musical skills & haunting songwriting to create a beautiful & hypnotic piece of art. Darker than the bands' two previous albums, it still features many distinctive Gazpacho characteristics, such as ambient passages, classical influences, elements of world music & samples of coded information sent during the cold war on short wave radio. Formed in Oslo in 1996 by childhood friends Jon-Arne Vilbo & Thomas Andersen along with Jan-Henrik Ohme (later joined by Mikael Kromer, Robert R Johansen & Kristian Torp), Gazpacho have honed their unique sound over a string of critically acclaimed albums & numerous tours, including several with long-time supporters Marillion. These albums & tours, the internet & word-of-mouth praise that greeted them, have helped the band build a substantial international fan base. Kscope are now proud to present this important album on single LP for the first time ever.
