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. Read more ›› |

Written by JÄY on 11.09.2012 at 23:24 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.

I like this album and find it really good, but still prefer the next two albums for "Piece of Time" sounds a bit less technical and more thrash-y.

Most modern tech death bores me fucking senseless but this is awesome. It's intricate but still engaging and I always return to it.

Proper old school tech death, with the aggression of Kreator, and the groove of Slayer. It's very well produced, with excellent bass, and crazily complex riffing, but also very melodic at the same time, with a real progressive element too, not just over the top technical wankery of some tech death bands nowadays as people call it  "On They Slay", "Why Bother" and "I Deny" are truly impressive songs.
