An atrocity (from the Latin atrox, "atrocious", from Latin ater ="matte black") is a term used to describe crimes or excesses ranging from an act committed against a single person to one committed against a population or ethnic group.
Atrocity is a German band formed in Ludwigsburg (not to be confused with the American peace punk band of the same name from Berkeley California, circa 1983). They started out as a death metal band, and their debut was the Blue Blood EP in 1989 followed by a concept album about drug use named Hallucinations. Their second album Todessehnsucht ventured into technical death metal, featuring a cover of "Arch Angel" by the band Death.
