The White Goddess - Release date and show

As the radiant wheel of the sun is growing and father winter leaves Europa behind, the time has come to descend from the Mountain Du-Ku for the second time. In the name of Enki, Sankt Blasius, Sankt Cäcilia and the Seven Gods who decree, we are glad to announce the release date for our second album, titled „THE WHITE GODDESS – A Grammar of Poetic Myth“. 

The album will be released on October 8th 2013 in Northern America and on October 4th 2013 in Europa and the rest of the world.

Regarding the amazing job Enrico has done for our first album „The Golden Bough“, it was a no-brainer to keep working together. So we‘re very happy to announce, that once again the album will be released through Cruz del Sur Music.

Furthermore, in order to make the album more easily available for buyers in the USA and Canada, we have decided to sign to 20 Buck Spin Records for the release in Northern America. Dave is an enthusiast for high quality metal off the beaten track and has been working in the past with bands such as Occultation, Pallbearer or Liturgy. We feel in safe hands and so should all fans buying the vinyl and CD version of „The White Goddess“ in the United States and Canada.

And last but not least we are honoured and pleased to announce that the vinyl version for Europe and the rest of the world will be handled by Germany‘s finest, VÁN Records. Since quality is a top priority for us, there was no other choice than Ván Records. Ván is simply doing the best vinyl editions currently available. We‘re quite positive that the vinyl version of „The White Goddess“ will blow your minds. We have something very spectacular up our sleeves.

The official album release party and show will take place on October 5th 2013 in Athens. ATLANTEAN KODEX will perform a full set including of course songs from the new album and all previous releases. We cannot wait to come back to our friends in Greece to celebrate this special event with a titanic spectacle of might. Tsipouro, re mounia!

Atlantean Kodex confirmed for Keep it True 2014

Conjured by the Fires of Girra 

and the veils of Sunken Varloorni, 

and by the Lights of SHAMMASH. 

We have been called again, before you, at Keep it True, in visible shadow 

In beholdable form, to this sacred circle, this Holy Communion of steel

May he of the name unspeakable, the number unknowable, 

whom no man hath seen at any time, 

whom no geometer measureth 

whom no wizard hath ever called 

grant his blessings for this spectacle of might.

Rise up, by ANU we summon thee! 

Rise up, by ENLIL we summon thee! 

Rise up, by ENKI we summon thee! 

Cease to be the Sleeper of EGURRA. 

Cease to lie unwaking beneath the mountains of KUR. 

Rise up, from the pits of ancient holocausts! 

Rise up, from the old abyss of NARR MARRATU! 

Come, by ANU! 

Come, by ENLIL! 

Come, by ENKI!

Come, to KEEP IT TRUE 2014!

The White Goddess - Update

Hail Disciples!

Currently we are getting a lot of mail, asking us about whether “winter 2012/2013″ is still a valid date for the release of “The White Goddess”. We have read your letters and we have heard your call. To put it short: at the moment we’re heading for a release in April 2013. The songwriting is finished, the basic tracks are recorded. Hopefully by December we can finish the recordings altogether. Under any circumstances we will not rush things. Even if takes us longer than April. Our main and only focus is pure quality. Simple as that. 

Anyway, now that the songwriting is finished and regarding the songs, we feel that we even might be able to top “The Golden Bough”.


Of course, it sounds like the standard PR blabla, but if you know us, you know that we don’t give a shit about promotion and stuff like that. We do it for ourselves. Nevertheless we feel it’s safe to say that this album definitely will contain three, maybe four songs, which are better than everything we’ve ever done before. We are so excited about the music we’ve created in the past few months, it’s hard to describe. Don’t expect a second “Pilgrim” though. The stuff on “The White Goddess” will be different. But still 100% Kodex. You’ll be able to tell that after 10 seconds.

There has been a slight change in the track list. The album will probably look like this:

1. Trumpets of Doggerland (There were Giants in the Earth in those Days) – ca. 1:30: Basically an atmospheric intro to set the mood for the album

2. Sol Invictus (With Faith and Fire) – ca. 10:00: Still (in my humble opinion) the best song we’ve written so far. This will be the album’s “hit” for sure. It’s fast, it’s pounding, it’s glorious. Maybe it’s best described as a mix between Isen Torr and “Blood on Ice”-era Bathory. Scorching.

3. Bilwis (Sorcery and Witchcraft in Eastern Bavaria) – ca. 1:30. The outro for “Sol Invictus”. Corn Demons from the Upper Palatinate are serious business

4. Heresiarch (Thousandfaced Moon) – ca. 12:00: This is the heaviest and most unusual song we’ve written so far. It reminds me of “Pilgrim”, Uriah Heep, “Battle Hymns”-era Manowar and Solstice

5. Twelve Stars and an Azure Gown (An Anthem for Europa) – ca. 7:00: The album’s commercial radio single. A hymn for Europe. Power ballad?

6. Kodex Battalions (The Iron Horde) – ca. 4:00: This one will fuck you up in a live situation. Fastest song we’ve done so far. 

7. Virgin : Mother : Crone (Media Vita in Morte sumus) – ca. 3:30: If you liked “The White Ship”, this one will blow you away. A cappella, Markus’ glorious voice is soaring. 

8. Der Untergang der Stadt Passau (Flaming Sword of the Watchers) – ca. 1:30. Introduction to…

9. Enthroned in Clouds and Fire (The Great Cleansing) – ca. 10:00. Another standout anthem. Incredible heaviness paired with melancholic melodies, pure “Twilight-era”-Bathory worship. Crushing stuff, lyrics are taken from Bavarian mythology.

10. White Goddess unveiled (Crown of the Sephiroth) – ca. 11:00. The album’s grand finale. If you think “A prophet in the forest” was good, this one will blow you away. It’s Atlantean Kodex in its purest form and essence. If I had to pick one track on the album to show people what Atlantean Kodex are about, I’d pick this one.

So there you go. Stay tuned and expect great things. 

If you liked “The Golden Bough”, you won’t be disappointed.

If you didn’t like “The Golden Bough”, you should just stay the fuck away from this album.

We're currently overhauling our website.
