Atmosphere is a Finnish atmospheric black metal project formed in 1996 by musicians known by their pseudonyms, Tomi Nousu and Kālis. The band's music is characterized by its use of haunting melodies, pianos, and Bathory-inspired riffing.

Atmosphere's early work was heavily influenced by Swedish black metal bands such as Marduk and Dark Funeral. However, over time, the band has developed its own unique sound, incorporating elements of ambient and neoclassical music into its compositions. This is particularly evident in the use of synthesizers and grand pianos on tracks like "Shibboleth" and "Underst Sommer".

Throughout its discography, Atmosphere has explored a range of themes, from nature worship to existential despair. The band's lyrics often incorporate elements of mythology, philosophy, and literature, adding to the sense of mystery and introspection that pervades its music.

Atmosphere has released several albums to critical acclaim, including "A Refection" in 1997, "Constellation" in 1999, and "As We Refraction" in 2012. The band's music has been praised for its emotional intensity and technical proficiency, with many fans praising its ability to evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection.

In recent years, Atmosphere has become a cult favorite among fans of underground black metal, with many regarding the band's music as a benchmark for atmospheric and introspective metal. However, despite its dedicated fan base, Atmosphere remains a relatively obscure and enigmatic entity, with much of its history and activity shrouded in mystery.
