History

Bryan Cox, Erik Larson and Asechiah Bogdan founded ATP in 1996. Bill Storms and Johnny Throckmortin completed the lineup, and the band signed to Man's Ruin Records in 1998. They debuted with Rise Again later that year, and recorded River City Revival, released in 1999. 2000's Constellation and 2002's Staring at the Divine followed. Alabama Thunderpussy parted ways with Man's Ruin and singer Johnny Throckmorton later that year, signing to Relapse Records and hiring new frontman Johnny Weils. Weils' first album with ATP is Fulton Hill released on May 25, 2004. For reasons unknown, Weils is no longer a member of ATP. His replacement is Kyle Thomas, formerly of New Orleans bands, Floodgate and Exhorder.

Larson has also appeared in the side project Axehandle with Bryan Cox and Ryan Lake.
