Atomic Trip Drops Explosive New Music Video, “Bomb #6″
~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~
By Billy Goate
One hundred and fifty years ago, cities around the world began to turn on one by one, wired with the wonder of electricity. In 2023, electrified instruments have come to life, raging against the machine that created them with sounds astounding and fierce. Caught under their hypnotic spell, three lads from Lyon erupt in worshipful noise to the almighty Riff.
This is ATOMIC TRIP. The doomed crew have hijacked our eardrums before, contributing big tracks to both Doomed & Stoned in France and Doomed & Stoned: The Instrumentalists.
Today, we witness a 21-minute behemoth from their latest album, 'Strike #3' (2022). Its powerful vibe seems all the more weighty in slow-motion frames and stark black and white. Cymbals tremor and drums rattle, joined by rumbling bass and crunchy guitar tone.
"Bomb #6" lumbers about like some faceless sludge monster from a 1950's horror movie, glowing with irradiated fuzz. Each beat takes the hulking mass deeper into dank surroundings. Atomic Trip turns simple motifs into a psychedelic trip through a slow 'n' low soundscape, crackling with strange fire.
Strike #3 yields two big bombs for an impressive 45 minute run time. Vinyl comes out March 24th via Tentacles Industries (pre-order here). "Bomb #6" fits just right on a playlist with Conan, Bongripper, and Electric Wizard.
This is the Doomed & Stoned world premiere.
Give ear...
WATCH & LISTEN: Atomic Trip - "Bomb #6"
SOME BUZZ
France’s Atomic Trip released their third album this past October and coming this March 24th, 2023, they will have it on vinyl available via Tentacles Industries. An epic two-track doom and sludge marauder, today the band presents their video for the 20-minute closer chef-d'oeuvre "Bomb #6".
"Bomb #6 follows with penetrating feedback and toms rolls, before a brutal silence and the entrance of the absolute anvil, its main riff which is the summit and the summary of the whole universe of the band. The more it goes on, the more the psychedelic heaviness sets in. And the end is just as definitive, with two last leaden minutes that twist your brain, concluded by leaking feedback and a final absolutely definitive drum hit." adds the band.
Fans familiar with Atomic Trip will not be disappointed with their latest album “Strike #3”; the sequel of “Strike #2” and Strike #1, it is even more crushing, and even more “in your face” than its predecessors. “Bomb #5” is full of finesse and heaviness, a fuzz apocalypse, and a cavalcade of mad drumming. “Bomb #6” interjects with penetrating feedback and toms rolls, and psychedelic heaviness. The last two last leaden minutes of it will completely twist your brain.
“We are so proud of our third album. We think that we have pushed all barriers to keep our motto: less is more. With a few riffs, we have made a progressive psychedelic doom masterpiece. Here the most simple becomes the most complex and every single note weighs a ton. A ton of harmonics, of resonance, of feedback. When we first played those tracks live, we were not confident and hesitated, but people reacted so well! From dark basements to the bigger stages at metal festivals, it has always been a total blast, from the top to the final drum hit. To describe Strike #3 in one sentence: like it or loathe it, you cannot ignore it.”
The album was mixed and mastered by Alexandre Borel and the album artwork was done by Jean-Luc Navette. Best served with a couple of brews and a joint, Atomic Trip is providing the soundtrack for a hazy evening and a cosmic trip so sit back and relax.

We do a lot of traveling around the Western and Central parts of the US and these two pins are sort of a celebration of that. Going East or going West, the world's a truly beautiful place.
These were both made as a part of our monthly Pin Club but can now be found among our special edition pins and are only available to the public while supplies last!

Weird how my entire social cohort imprinted on the killers before we'd even finished missing all the opportunities we'd be mourning.

A Seven Days Before Valentine Rant
Casual Watcher goes BRRRRT at the colour and naming schemes. I AM SAYING CASUAL BECAUSE some of this is just very "Mar's Theories" and may not actually fit completely with the show.
TL;DR: Not just colours, ok mostly colours. BUT ALSO WEATHER!? Ok I'll go back to LITA again. Sorry.
There Are Spoilers Literally Right Away. Tread with Caution.
Also it's tangenty and very everywhere.
To Start:
Hi~ I'm Mar. I'm an Art Historian/Conceptual Artist and Researcher. We must protect Q and Jared.
There is a big Colour-Coding conversation about the blues and reds/whites, greys and blacks of this drama.. Which I am here for.
Sun = Red, Starts in Black Clothing eventually ascends into white.
Q (Sky) = Blue, starts in white eventually descends (Jared?!) into greys and then eventually touches on black.
For the Black to White Changing I'm just gonna add that I love the diversity of greys in Everyone's clothing in this.
"Why must there be black and then white? There must be ups and downs." -- To quote the song at the end of 7 Days Before Valentine.
I know there are a lot of Biblical things about this floating around and I'm here for it. Esp with Jared being named Jared. But I won't cover that much. Just mentioning too that Q is Q for Cupid. Teehee.
As I say this and my screenshots of choice are:
Something clicked in me at the Q's real name drop at the end of the series. (Which aforementioned is Sky).
Sunshine said: "Erase everything that stops me from loving Rain.."
Rain took away Sunshine's love and will to do his job: shine in the Sky. So in turn, Rain was erased because Sunshine couldn't do his job or love Rain because Rain just covered him up in clouds.
With cloud-cover/Rain in Sunshine's way, Sky(Q) was the only one given Sunshine's light (wearing white). Sunshine wearing black to show he is being blocked out by Rain's clouds.
Rain loved the Air because the water cycle has to do with the air. However Air is a molecule, and there is a lot of Air. Whereas for Sunshine there is only one Sun. So he was never an option to disappear from the world.
Sky was aware of Sunshine because you can't have a sky without the Sun. However Rain blocked him from his happiness. Sky was erasing every request/cloud that got in the way of Sunshine's light, that includes Rain (not on purpose and also by request of Sunshine). However, Sunshine took time to notice how much work Sky was doing for him. As Sun heals and comes to realizations, Sunshine became warm.
Sky takes on the storm clouds that Rain left Sunshine blocked behind so he is in the black when he left, the black we met Sunshine in. I mean. Not that Sunshine is ever in pitch-black. His black always has a heathering to it.
Q/Sky being dreary and upset also always had dark grey backgrounds like clouds. If Sunshine is off-screen you only see a haze of his golden tones but the background is always off-blue grey otherwise. Later in the show (like Episode 11) is my favourite to show gloomy Sky. Whenever Sunshine is in the same screen a golden hue of sunlight is added.
In the same scene, when Q has some sort of hope. Like. Sunshine says "I want to take care of you" Sky's black comes off as grey.
ALSO JUST.. FOR.. ADDITIONAL FUN.. Jared's name means "Rose" or "to Descend". His name is biblical. He also is generally in whites, reds greens and blues.
Look it these twooo~. Protect themmmm!
Just want to add some quotes:
"Look at the sky, at the stars." -- Sky/Q
"Romantic Kid?" -- Sunshine
"I had nothing to do. So I watched the stars in the sky. I became interested in the solar system. I searched for the answers to everything. I wanted to know how we exist on this Earth in this Universe." -- Sky while staring at the Sun.
In the story of Q as a human: "The morning mist and the first light of day was what he remembered."
"Icarus" - Sunshine to Sky's story about how when Q was Sky (alive, a human) he worked so diligently and hard to become a scientist and left behind his father. He fell hard and fast. Sky said. Icarus.
Sky: I'm close to Sunshine now, will my wings melt?
Sunshine: Not yet.
"Q!?" -- Both of them yelling it at each other in episode 12. Hello both were each other's Cupids!?. Also teehee colour coding. Look at that golden colour and them wearing whites and blue.
"Soaring into the Sky, challenging the Sun."
