2010-10-28 by Tyler EMERITUS | 108 Comments
Tomorrow afternoon, SputnikMusic's Tyler Munro (that's me) will be interviewing Kelly Shaefer, frontman for the legendary death metal band Atheist.

Do you, our faithful readers, have anything you'd like to ask Mr. Shaefer?

I'd ask them to approve the news I submitted before this.

Anyway, ask them about parting ways with their bassist. If that's too old of news, ask them about their time between albums or something.

this is embarrassing. the fact that you even considered asking the SPUTNIK community of all places for questions is pathetic. for every true metalhead on the site (KILL), there's at least 15 metalcoar pussies and 3 immature 11 year olds with blatantly dumb responses (Counterfeit). move on, hopefully Kelly and the other members never come in contact with this wretched site.

Do they ever read reviews of their work on the internet/ in the newspaper, how do they respond to negative criticism in the studio (do they alter their style at all if a certain aspect is decidedly distasteful, etc).

Bloc, the album is not that 'spastic', it's somewhere between Unquestionable and Elements with some modern death metal touches.

How does the Atheist songwriting process work?

What's your favorite tour story?

What's the gist of the dynamic between Atheist and Cynic? Did Cynic's recent (rather successful) comeback influence the decision to record another record?

Looking back at your breakup, what are the chances of things going the same way nowadays?

- The current Atheist line up and the Gnostic line up or vitually identical (except for the vocalists). What about the new Atheist album makes it anything more than the sophomore Gnostic release?
