Coma Noir marks a series of firsts for The Atlas Moth; it's their first release for LA indie metal label, Prosthetic Records, it's the first to feature Mike Miczik (Broken Hope) on drums and it's the first time the band worked with an outside producer. On previous releases, the band's guitarist/vocalist, Andrew Ragin handled production duties but this time around. Longtime friend, Sanford Parker (Eyehategod, Voivod) stepped in to steer the ship. An outside voice, one that the band was comfortable with, was key to channeling all the different elements the group brings to the table and keeping everything cohesive and concise.
