//Some of the best news ive heard in a very very long time when it comes to music. All hail the technical death metal kings Atheist. Cant wait for this new album//

let the tech death heads drool...

Noooooooooooooooo, their legacy will be tainted. And all this just a year after Kelly Schaeffer said the following when I interviewed him:

On the internet rumours abound that you guys are gonna go record again ?

Kelly: No.
Tony: Maybe, maybe, maybe?
Kelly: No, no, no. No, stop that shit now.
Marcel: Kelly, like you said in the liner notes on the re-release of Unquestionable Presence: I believe that tension is what caused us to write this kind of music?
Kelly: Well, I think it would be hard to recreate that tension and the amount of time that it took for us to write. We used to play six nights a week and used to have a hundred people in front of us. Our friends would come to our rehearsal spot. And we would just be like? and that's how we wrote. It was sweltering hot, like a hundred degrees, in our warehouse every night where we would practice. The reason why I brought up Borivoj was when we started writing technical songs and we sent it to Borivoj he was like: Wow, that's really really different. So then we almost started writing just to try to outdo each song. Not knowing ever that we would be here 20 years later. We always loved Rush, Neil Peart and people like that. We just really wanted to kind of just pay tribute in the metal world and a lot of bands I think couldn't play intricate I think very well. Everybody was very basic, very simple, and the drummers were like: rrrrrr and we thought it needs finesse, it needs something else in order for metal to continue for twenty years. I always believe that it's important for everybody to really learn how to play otherwise this kind of music is just gonna fade away into obscurity and I am so glad that bands like Meshuggah and all these guys have come on and really just broadened the horizons of metal. And now it's fucking wide open now.

It's nice to see that they have changed their mind's about it. I think Kelly Shaefer and Steve Flynn can come up with some surprising stuff. I believe in them!

Hahah yeah, I know, but I totally saw this coming (as of, month ago or so) when they said (Schaeffer and Flynn I think) they jammed a little bit and it was "pure Atheist", lol, it was clear what is going to happen... But who knows, we'll see, right??

I'm looking forward to this album releasing. I am updating wikipedia about this currently.

Interesting indeed, we'll see

Yeah I figure Kelly got high and forgot what he said xD

Omg omg, has Atheist sold its soul? No no, just kidding. I´m glad their writing new stuff, what he said about not want to mess the legacy seemed a bit silly. Its dead aobvious its not the same band is it was back in 1993, and the name is just a name.
