ATHEIST

Release Year: 2017
Artist Origin: USA
Style: progressive technical thrash death metal

fundamental, groundbreaking, game-changing full-length debut [1990] of technical, intense and quite progressive thrash/death metal genius has delivered such a sound paradigm, which the scene has never heard up to that moment: almost six years spent in making were fully justified - rough original grip and youthful exuberance smoothly stick to the growing pension for technical composition and performance, adding unusual rhythmic freedom, jazz-level bass guitar arrangements, unexpected structural decisions and intellectual sharpness that elevated extreme metal to a level designed for new way of thinking, so time-tested, essential classic still sounds as menacing and suggestive as upon the recording session three decades back!; second black 45rpm vinyl edition by French label with authentic design and lyric inner sleeve is limited to 350 units
