The album features a ruthless, innovative, and elegant fusion of genres, showcasing why ATENA is at the forefront of the Norwegian metalcore scene. Live from Parkteatret serves up the new studio album Subway Anthem on a silver platter, opening with the track ‘Leave’, followed by the hard-hitting ‘Ultra Ultimate Opus Power’.

It’s not just the new studio album being played. Just four tracks into the album, the band plays the single ‘Oljebarn i Helligvann’, and on track six, they unleash ‘No Hope for Misscarriages’ from their 2020 album Drowning Regrets & Lungs filled with Water. The album also includes two of the band’s biggest hits, ‘Oil Rigs’ and ‘Death is All I Think About’. In short, the album offers a mix of new and old songs, demonstrating once again that ATENA can seamlessly combine heavy music and powerful themes both on stage and in their albums.

Guitarist and songwriter Vebjørn Iversen shares:
“We felt it was time to release a live album given our album catalog. Our concert in Oslo on the release day of Subway Anthem was therefore the perfect place to preserve a good memory for us and everyone who was there.”
