Florida gives the technical death metal scene an interesting band in Atheist. It took Atheist four years to release a proper demo due to constant instability with member changes. After 1988's demo Beyond, Piece of Time was finally released on Active Records. The heavily diverse jazz/fusion technical death metal pioneer debut here with an intriguing marriage of two genres: jazz fusion and death/thrash metal. The combination of soothing cool musical aesthetics with tight metallic technicality and brutal death is highly innovative.

Rating: 9 Absolutely cracking start to a career that would eventually form one of the most innovative and inspiring bands from the 'death metal' tag (though i would just say they were experimental). A powerful opener and closer that stay true to two of my favourite songs from atheist. Great album.

Yeah, I do also prefer this one over the next release (unquestionable presence I think its called). I am quite a big fan of thrash metal so I did really enjoy this.
