<p>Formed in September 1991, the band began when founding member Frank Hart moved from <a href="Missouri" title="Missouri">Missouri</a> and joined forces with producer/manager Sam Taylor. The lineup consisting of Frank, Jonathan Marshall, Mark Poindexter, and Len Sonnier (brother of Dane Sonnier of the <a href="Galactic_Cowboys" title="Galactic Cowboys">Galactic Cowboys</a>), was fleshed out with a few different Houston-area musicians over the next few years.
</p><p>In December 1991, Atomic Opera went into Rampart recording studio with producer Sam Taylor, and Engineer Steve Ames to record a demo consisting of the songs "For Madmen Only", "Daze of Love In Grey", "The Meaningless Word" and "everdream". They recorded more demos at Rampart in 1992.
</p><p>In September 1992, Sonnier quit the band, and was replaced on bass by his good friend and bass tech, Jonas Velasco.
</p><p>In 1994, after <a href="Derek_Shulman" title="Derek Shulman">Derek Shulman</a>, president of Collision Arts (a subsidiary of <a href="Giant_Records_(1990)" class="mw-redirect" title="Giant Records (1990)">Giant Records</a>) saw the band play live at Zelda's in Houston, he signed them on the spot. Soon, they released their first full album, <i><a href="For_Madmen_Only_(Atomic_Opera_album)" title="For Madmen Only (Atomic Opera album)">For Madmen Only</a></i>. During this time, the band toured with such artists as <a href="Dio_(band)" title="Dio (band)">Dio</a><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="King's_X" title="King's X">King's X</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-EofCCM_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EofCCM-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The band's video for "Justice" was played approximately 20 times on <a href="MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-EofCCM_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EofCCM-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-AO_Hist_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AO_Hist-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Often compared with <a href="King's_X" title="King's X">King's X</a> or the <a href="Galactic_Cowboys" title="Galactic Cowboys">Galactic Cowboys</a>, both of whom were managed and produced by Taylor, Atomic Opera forged their own path with poetic lyrics, varied instruments, and strong Christian influences.<sup id="cite_ref-EofCCM_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EofCCM-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Unlike some of their contemporaries, the band did little to hide its faith in its lyrics, but in some ways avoided the stereotypes of <a href="Christian_rock" title="Christian rock">Christian rock</a>, as most songs focused on challenging the norms of Christianity and on the relationship between God and man. The band was also vocal about their dislike of the <a href="Christian_music_industry" title="Christian music industry">Christian music industry</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-EofCCM_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EofCCM-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The band's label Collision Arts ceased operations, and Atomic Opera found itself without a home, and released their next two albums without a supporting label.<sup id="cite_ref-EofCCM_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EofCCM-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-AO_Hist_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AO_Hist-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After struggling to gain mainstream popularity, the band broke up in 1995 and parted ways with Taylor. Hart continued to write music and decided to release a follow-up album in 1997 under the Atomic Opera name called <i>Penguin Dust</i>, recruiting former drummer Mark Poindexter and multi-instrumentalist <a href="Kemper_Crabb" title="Kemper Crabb">Kemper Crabb</a> to assist; this album was released directly by Hart and shopped to various independent outlets.
</p><p>Due to the strength of <i>Penguin Dust</i>, <a href="Metal_Blade_Records" title="Metal Blade Records">Metal Blade Records</a> quickly signed the band to a long-term deal. Crabb became a full-time member, with longtime Hart friends John Simmons and Ryan Birsinger also rounding out the lineup. While working on new material, Hart compiled the album <i>Alpha and Oranges</i>, a collection of unreleased demos originally from the <i>For Madmen Only</i> lineup, and released this independently as well. In 2000, the band released <i>Gospel Cola</i> on Metal Blade with its new lineup; the album garnered some positive notice in both Christian and mainstream music outlets.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Since that time, the band have endured a lot of setbacks (such as a flooded recording studio) and pursued various side projects (such as raising families, session work, multimedia projects, Hart's role as worship leader and pastor at a Houston area church, and managing Hart's label Feverdream Records). After adding Trip Wamsley to the lineup in 2004, and parting ways with Metal Blade, the band were working on a new album called <i>The Mystery of Hope</i>, but there has been no news on this effort for several years. The band did have a reunion concert with the original lineup in late 2014 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of <i>For Madmen Only</i>, in addition to re-releasing a remaster of the album with bonus tracks <i>(For Madmen Only 20 Years Later)</i>.
</p><p>Marshall and Velasco formed a band called The Phlegmatics and released <i>Alumnus</i> (2006), <i>Billy the Starfighter Pilot Vs. the Phlegmatics</i> (2006), and <i>Life Is Better With a Soundtrack</i> (2013). Hart released the solo albums <i>Human Liturgy</i> (2006), <i>Living Creatures Project</i> (2010), and <i>Fantastical Amazingly Jesus Christmas</i> (2016). Hart also published the memoir <i>Joyride: A Beginning in Every End.</i>
