Alberto Atalah, a Chilean drummer,
began playing drums when he was 14. 

After five years of private lessons on drum kit and snare drum, he began studying classical percussion at the PUC in Chile, where he learned to play xylophone, marimba, percussion sets and classical snare drum, as well as other instruments.

While studying, he stood out for his snare drum skills in particular. Alberto has also taken private lessons from a number of drum teachers over the years.

Alberto’s strengths are rock music, double bass drumming, rudiments, polyrhythms and odd meters.

From 2008 to 2016, Alberto's main musical project was The Outside, a Chilean/German metal band based in Berlin. After two albums and countless shows in Europe and South America the band decided to stop performing, giving all the band members the chance to continue with other musical paths.

	In recent years Alberto recorded and toured with a variety of rock, metal, pop, progressive and latin bands all over Europe (Germany, UK, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, and others), in Russia and at very well-known festivals like Summer Breeze, M'era Luna, Metalfest, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, and others, performing in front of thousands of people.

In 2014, Alberto was invited to participate as a member of the jury in the national part of the German contest "Jugend Musiziert", the most important musical contest for young musicians in Germany.

He’s been living in Berlin since 2005. At the moment he's teaching full time at thePlanetDrum Berlin, an international drum school with over 170 students in Berlin, and touring a lot with different bands as an independent drummer.

Alberto has endorsements with Pearl Drums, Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals and Ahead Armor Cases

Mausoleums are a dark electronic three piece influenced by minimal wave and darkwave, who combine aggressive synthesisers, mechanistic drum machines, throbbing bass lines and echo soaked vocals with arresting guitar to create raw and haunting industrial soundscapes. Mausoleums have been described as capturing the brooding intensity of Carpenter’s films played out in minimalist repetition and often perform backed by live video projection created using  horror films, VCRs and mangled games consoles. They have recently added a guitarist to the line up, marking a watershed in their live performance, moving to a more tactile hardware-only set up featuring, among other things, floppy disks. Mausoleums have supported Blanck Mass and have appeared at NARC. Fest and Northern Electric Festival

"Mausoleums manage to capture brooding intensity of Carpenter’s films, while never losing sight on a deviantly  simple rhythm. This is the music working out montages, spring cleaning and saving humanity from supernatural annihilation!" This Year in Music.

"Mausoleums marry intense house and IDM inflected productions with ghostly pop sensibilities and mysterious vocals" MC-L, NARC, 2016
