Watership Down

Atomship is a 3 piece Experimental metal band, with a ghost member, from The United States.

Information on Atomship

The band was formed by singer/bassist Derek Pardoe, drummer Chad Kent and guitarist Nathan Slade in South Mississippi. Many have considered Atomship to be the best rock/metal band left undiscovered. Originally called Watership Down, after Richard Adams’ classic tale, the band retains as its logo a cartoon alien rabbit, designed by Slade. The logo also reflects the group’s interest in UFOs, extra-terrestrials, and the like, as confirmed by the album’s title, which references the alleged date of the UFO crash in Roswell, N.M. “We’re fascinated with some of these things,” Slade says. “We’re not conspiracy theory nuts but it is interesting how the media covers up some stuff that’s obviously there. We have a pretty strong thirst for knowledge". It should also be known that Derek Pardoe who was a founding member as well as a co-writer, and who recorded the bass for "The Crash of '47", was a ghost member. Meaning the record label covered up any evidence of him being any part of the band.
