Atomic Rule, the fledgling outfit spearheaded by ex-Every Time I Die guitarist (and AEW wrestler) Andy Williams alongside Eternal Sleep‘s Travis Bennington, are ready to make a proper introduction this month. After first debuting live last December in the aftermath of some unexpected lineup changes, the group have now found a stable roster that properly realizes their vision.
As recently revealed, the aforementioned duo have enlisted the services of James Hendergroove on vocals and Dry Kill Logic/ex-The Acacia Strain drummer Kevin Boutot. The group will be dropping their first demo towards the end of this month, with a few shows also lined up. Speaking on all that on social media today, September 02nd, Williams stated:
“@atomicruleband has been exactly how I’ve always wanted a band to feel like. In the past, the pieces were never all there. This feels like a team, trying to deliver their best. Every time we’re in a room together or all on a call. It seems like we’re all connected mentally and make each other feel heard. @turning_the_screw and i have become each others hands. If i don’t know where to go next, i can guarantee he knows. It’s amazing. @jams_hendergroove is the voice i hear when im writing riffs. Trusting a singer has to be a priority. Having a singer feel like a brother and teammate is something new and i am here for it.
@kevinboutot has always been a drummer that I’ve fawned over for years. Toured Pangea with him and never had a bad time. So musical, which I’ve had the fortune of only working with great drummers. So this feels very familiar, but seeing his mind work without tunes. Is just wild. I love playing guitar in this band. We’re dropping our demo at the end of September. Gonna start throwing some teases up soon. Have shows booked with @betterloversband in Athens, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida on November 14th and 15th and a handful of other shows we’ll be announcing very soon! #288 #withskullcrushingforce also thank you to @nickrovo for making us look chic and sharp.”
