Formed as R.A.V.A.G.E. in 1984 and changed name to "Atheist" shortly before recording the "Beyond" demo.
Atheist split-up in 1994 and reformed in 2006.
Kelly Schaefer had to give up playing live guitar due to suffering from tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Rand Burkey was supposed to take part in the reunion tour, but had to cancel due to legal troubles so two new guitarists had to be brought in for the gigs, with Schaefer doing only the vocals for those shows.
Kelly Schaefer auditioned for the Hard Rock band Velvet Revolver before they hired Scott Weiland.

Ну когда, когда же появится долгожданный Юпитер (желательно сразу на лицухе)? Терпеть больше нет сил.

paganheart, всему своё время. Альбом готов, но если выпустят его в вольный полёт через три года, ничего страшного не произойдёт. Я в Atheist не сомневаюсь.

8 ноября должен выйти альбом

А почему нет в составе бывших участников драммера Марселя Десантоса?

Atheist - Jupiter (2010)

one of the best experimental metal-bands of late '80s & all time!
