The tracks are of some length, most towards the six-minute mark, and we should be grateful, there’s room to expand on the themes, distinct with each track but built around the perfect semblance of rage, angst and bold musicianship.

It’s a brilliant record, worth a listen by anyone, whatever their stylistic preference, not as an effete, ‘genre-defining’ work, but as something that’s an eerily accurate articulation of music that is complete in its own self and its place in the world.

Echoes and dust -

Drums, guitar and bass swim around you in a sea that has an ever-changing tide, and schizophrenic vocals float by like the wreckage of a ship sunken by mermaids. It’s a hypnotic beginning to an album that takes hold of you and doesn’t let go until closer ‘The Gentleman’ swings around with the unspoken confidence of a trio that have spent years working on this, and it shows throughout.

Like Crocodiles or Cockroaches, Fatalists are survival specialists. Since the Triassic period we've been cutting round Edinburgh, whittling away at our own sound, ignoring and avoiding musical conformity.

Our first album, released 2010, 'Between the Aisles' was a big proggy, punk punch in the face. It went down quite well, we played a BBC introducing session etc.

We decided to disappear for three years, to work very hard at our latest album 'Unwelded'. We are extremely proud of it and it is out now on Gamma Proforma records.

Reactions to 'Unwelded':

'There’s a swagger here that isn't cocky in the slightest, but these guys know exactly what they wanted to do with these songs, and it’s done in great style.' - Echoes and Dust

''Unwelded' is what Melvins would sound like after a hefty dose of poppers. Entrancing.' - Is This Music?

'A brilliant record, worth a listen by anyone, whatever their stylistic preference, not as an effete, ‘genre-defining’ work, but as something that’s an eerily accurate articulation of music that is complete in its own self and its place in the world.' - Ravechild

'Vocals are strained, shouted and blend perfectly into the strong bass-lines and pounding drums. This album is very different to anything I've listened to in a long time, but that’s not a bad thing because it is very very good!' - Mixtape Couture

Fatalists have been busy this last 12 months. Work-shopping new material always, their live presence has taken a back seat recently, though soon to change! The new compositions need a live run-around, and what better time to do that than now?  Fatalists are always part of the firmament in Edinburgh, unsettling and enrapturing in equal measure.
