ATRÆ BILIS is a Canadian death metal ensemble that has been carving a unique niche within the extreme metal scene since their emergence. Noted for their complex compositions and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of the genre, ATRÆ BILIS is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and has been active since their formation in 2018. Their name, rooted in Latin, translates to “black bile,” one of the four “humours” in ancient and medieval medicine thought to influence one’s temperament. True to their name, ATRÆ BILIS delivers a sound that is both dark and visceral, infused with a technical prowess that balances brutality with a measured introspective quality.
The band gained significant attention in the underground metal community with the release of their debut EP "Divinihility" in 2020. This release set the tone for their intricate and brutal sound, earning them a growing fanbase and critical acclaim in the niche sphere of technical death metal. ATRÆ BILIS further expanded their musical footprint with the release of their full-length album "Apexapien" in 2021, which showcased their continued evolution and refinement in songwriting and technical execution. Tracks like "To Entomb the Aetherworld" and "Bacterium Abloom" exemplify their ability to combine guttural vocals with sophisticated riffs and dynamic rhythmic changes, while "Lore Beyond Bone" and "Phantom Veins Trumpet" reflect their flair for creating an atmosphere that is both haunting and brutally dissonant. Through releases such as "Ectopian" and "Upon the Shoulders of Havayoth," ATRÆ BILIS continues to assert their presence on the international stage, gaining recognition for their contributions to the ever-evolving tapestry of extreme metal.
