Atlas Cage was born during the setting sun of a Friday night, one month after the Chernobyl incident, in an East German town that was still being covered by the ash that drifted in from the skies like dirty snowflakes. It seems only fitting that years later he would adopt a form of the radiation symbol as the marker for the Urban Hard Rock band known as “Strings of Atlas”.

Part beat poet, part rock-n-rolla and a full time wandering soul, Strings of Atlas has been on the underground scene since late 2006. With several self released albums (including the most recent success “In A Better World”), an independent film score, three short films, appearances on  Ninja Warrior and an amazing head of hair, he has managed to climb indie charts from Florida to Texas, garner some FM radio play, find inclusion in numerous podcasts and blogs and tour the west coast in his 1974 Chevy Nova. 

The first big break for SOA was with the album “Atomic Girls” which made its way on to iTunes, Rhapsody and several other major platforms. He is also the host of the vlog “Strings Of Atlas TV” on youtube.

In 2019, there were two very significant events in Cage’s career: One was that he began his wrestling run with the indie pro wrestling federation known as PWR (Party World Rasslin’) in Austin Texas.  The second was that he founded the indie record label and new home to Strings of Atlas, Sky Titian Media. Sky Titans mission looks beyond the conventions of the genre, striving to develop artists who feel a deeper connection to people. It was established to act as an independent media incubator, active in the landscape of music, culture, film and technology and cultivate creativity through connection, both with other artists and the community who supports it.

For a behind the scenes look at life as it happens outside of the tours and studios, be sure to check out the “Strings Of Atlas TV” vlog, at youtube.com/skytitanmedia.

Strings Of Atlas is an American music project, started in 2006 and consisting mainly of multi-instrumentalist and producer Atlas Cage. Cage has been joined by such great musicians as Ed Chavez (Bassplayer for Archetyped/Phoenix Recoil), Albert Diaz, Jake Stuble and more.  The band defines their music as hard rock with a bit of psych punk rock and blues. Influences include Clutch, Monster Magnet, Audioslave and Royal Blood.

AUSTIN, TX, USA, March 2020 — Friday the 13th is notoriously recognized as a day of “bad luck” and “strange happenings.” For Sky Titan Media founder, Atlas Cage, Friday, the 13th of March, 2020 is just the opposite!

“Strings Of Atlas is a long time running rock and roll project,” explains Cage. “This particular EP, How Far We’ve Come is a look back on all of the things we have accomplished, both in life and in music, and acknowledging the work it took to get here. There is also a music video in the works, starring Texas theatrical actor Adam Rodriguez, that I am very excited about. We leaked a sneak peek at it in one of our vlogs (sky titan media on youtube) so definitely check that out if you can.” https://youtube.com/skytitanmedia
