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.
