BIOGRAPHY
Founded by composer and multi-instrumentalist Fernando Bühring, ATER is a Chilean Dark Metal band from the city of Santiago. They were formed in 2010 but really began to be active in 2018 with the release of their debut album “Eternal Gray Spiral.” The band is known for their dark, emotive sound and captivating live performances. Their musical influences include bands like Swallow The Sun, Type O Negative, Opeth, Behemoth, Gojira, and Vildhjarta.
ATER’s second album “Somber” was released in 2024 and catapulted the band into the global metal scene. In 2025, the band played over 100 shows in support of the album and participated in many international tours with bands such as Cradle of Filth, Patriarkh, Hate, Venom Inc. and many more. “Somber” is still celebrated for its sheer heaviness and dense ambient elements.
Their upcoming third album “Everlasting” (release: January 27, 2027 via Torque Records) can be described as doomier, more melodic, structured and approachable than their previous releases. This new production incorporates sounds from Goth and Doom, without leaving ATER’s original sound behind – making for an album unique in sound, full of identity and originality.
