Arizona slamming death metal band ATOLL have unleashed their latest single, “Ripped Apart By Test Tube Monkeys”, a savage cut pulled from deep within the band’s catalog and reborn with renewed ferocity.
Originally written years ago, “Ripped Apart By Test Tube Monkeys” has long held cult-favorite status in ATOLL’s live set, celebrated for its live performances. The newly released version was recorded at the kickoff of one of the band’s largest tours to date, capturing the raw, unhinged energy that defines ATOLL’s live presence.
The band comments:
“We recorded this on the kick off of one of our biggest tours last year. ‘Ripped Apart By Test Tube Monkeys’ is a classic from way back in the ATOLL catalog. It’s a constant in our live set. People love seeing us play it—but we think Wade just likes doing the monkey dance on stage lol. Check out the dates for the Swamp Survivors Tour so you can come dance with us!!!”
The single arrives as ATOLL tear across the American South on the Swamp Survivors Tour, a week-long run of brutal shows that kicked off January 30. Joined by support from TRUCKSTOP DICKPILL and SQUELCHING.
