Heartbreak is at the core of ATER’s new single, “Heart Of Glass.” Accompanied with a video offering, the dark metal ensemble provides a further glimpse into the sinister romance contained within the upcoming full length offering, Everlasting. The album is scheduled to release on January 29, 2027, via Torque Records.
ATER comments on “Heart Of Glass”:
“Going back to our heavier tones, ‘Heart Of Glass’ represents what the new album is all about. Quite a personal song and very rooted in the life of our frontman and lyricist, Fernando. A music video with displayed lyrics has been prepared with the release to convey the despair. This song is for those who have been broken hearted, we hope it resonates with you.”
A frantic, pulsing heartbeat signifies the arrival of “Heart Of Glass.” Descending into a desolate void, ATER brings a thunderous, slow and heavy sound laden with anguish and despair. Inescapable rhythms and monstrous gutturals portray a never ending turmoil, while soaring clean vocal lines are somber in tone.
Everlasting was produced by Fernando Bühring and recorded at Torque Records. The album was mixed by Daniel Lancaster and mastered by Tony Lindgren (Fascination Street Studios). Travis Smith created the album cover artwork for Everlasting. The single artwork for “Sleep” is by Fernando Bühring.
About ATER:
Based out of Santiago, Chile, extreme metal act ATER unveiled their debut album Eternal Gray Spiral in 2018 through Insania Recordings. The band’s sophomore album Somber arrived in 2024 via Torque Records, with 2025 seeing the release of singles, “The Fall” and “Venus”.
Describing their sound as Dark Metal or Extreme Dark Metal, ATER’s music is constructed primarily from extreme metal and gothic rock. Their production feels both modern and organic, with composer Fernando building songs around the guitars and bass often leading to centered bass parts in the mix. Thematically, ATER’s music is introspective, open and honest in its emotional delivery. ATER explore gothic romanticism with an updated, modern perspective.
ATER have traversed across global stages including European tours: Epic Prophecy Europe 2024 (BATUSHKA, VLTIMAS, GOD DETHRONED, ATER), Beyond The Black Tour Europe 2025 (VENOM INC, KRISIUN, HATE, ATER), and Morbidfest Tour Europe 2025 (POSSESSED, TERRORIZER, SUICIDAL ANGELS, NIGHTFALL, ATER).
