ATHEIST

Release Year: 2019
Artist Origin: USA
Style: technical progressive thrash death metal

creatively bald, eyebrow-rising, and definitely most eclectic third full-length album [1993] by one of the most respected bands in technical progressive thrash/death metal history was lightyears ahead of its time, where they have managed to fuse disparate, seemingly very far from each other sound patterns of various genres, such as delicate jazz, deep funk grooves, Latin rhythms, flamenco guitar styling and samba interludes, most definitely woven within complex heavy arrangements and blistering metal chops, in order to create a recording that confused as many as it pleased, pushing very actual idea that boundaries in music exist only in our heads; recent black vinyl edition with authentic design and pro-printed inner sleeve is limited to 150 units
