Atlases was founded by guitarist Ville-Veikko Laaksonen in 2017, after Laaksonen parted ways with his previous band Oceanwake. The right lineup was found rather quickly.

Atlases, based in Pori, Finland - consists of five musicians who have influenced in bands like Apea, Filthy Vermin, Oceanwake, Palekastro Plays Kingston Wall, Sammontakojat, Sotahuuto & Vuoltee.

Atlases´s music combines metal with atmospheric soundscapes, making the end result sound like Modern Post Metal, as they themselves call it.

In July 2017 Atlases signed a deal with Pest Records. The debut release "Penumbra" EP will be out in Autumn 2017.
