[[Atheist]] is a [[Technical Death Metal]] band from Florida. Indeed, a pretty good argument could be made that they are ''the'' Tech Death band, along with [[Death (
Atheist formed in 1984, first as Oblivion, and later as R.A.V.A.G.E. At this point their sound had a great deal more in common with [[Thrash Metal]] than [[Death Metal]], which didn't even really exist yet. Nevertheless, traces of their Jazz influence could still be found in the music of that era. They released their first album, ''Piece of Time'', in 1989. By this point, they had established their signature style of Death Metal/Jazz Fusion. While they were critically acclaimed and highly influential, early audiences expected them to sound more like [[Cannibal Corpse]], which they toured with at least once, and they were frequently booed by said audiences.
Line 14:
The band has gotten back together, and released a new album in 2010, called ''Jupiter''. It's noticeably heavier than their older albums, but other than that, nothing's really changed.
Their Discography Includes:▼
* ''Rotting in Hell'', (Demo) 1985
* ''On They Slay'', (Demo) 1987

▲Not to be confused with, well, [[Useful Notes/Atheism|Atheism]].
* [[Author Appeal]] - Aside from nature, Atheist generally loves transcendental lyrics that focus on [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|life, the universe, and everything]], with "Enthralled in Essence" being a good example.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - While most of the band's output since ''Piece of Time'' qualifies, a few songs in particular stand out, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyBGXEoe2ks Mineral], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um1CdqXoLFM Enthralled in Essence], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pJ_l8m2zYo Your Life's Retribution]
