Atlantean Kodex is a German epic metal band that has been forging its mythological and historical-infused melodies since its inception in 2007. Heralded for their soaring riffs and grandiose narratives, the band has established itself as a bastion of the heavy metal revival, drawing inspiration from the heyday of the 80s while injecting their unique take on the epic metal genre. With lyrical themes deeply entrenched in ancient lore and the profound depths of European history, Atlantean Kodex weaves tapestries of sound that are as intellectually stimulating as they are sonically captivating.

The band's musical journey is exemplified in a string of critically acclaimed releases, with their most recent full-length album, "The Course of Empire," released in 2019, serving as a high watermark for the genre. The record continues the band's tradition of evocative storytelling backed by powerful, melodic instrumentation. Preceding this were "The White Goddess" in 2013—a masterpiece that is often cited as a contemporary classic within metal circles—and "The Golden Bough" from 2010, which helped to further cement the band's reputation for crafting expansive and intricate soundscapes. Newly initiated fans and seasoned followers alike regard Atlantean Kodex's catalogue, including the foundational "The Pnakotic Demos," as a treasure trove of contemporary epic metal.
