Atheist Are Back For Good

2010-05-31 by Metalstyles | 72 Comments
After 17 years, the influential progressive death metal act Atheist are ready to record again.

The band are set to enter Ledbelly studios in Atlanta on July 5th to start recording their new, fourth full-length studio album, which is yet to be named. Engineering the recording session will be Matt Washburn. Mixing will be done by Jason Suecof, who has also mixed the albums of such notable acts as Chimaira and DevilDriver.

Vocalist Kelly Shaefer says this about the upcoming album: "I can't believe we are about to record this album finally. We have been working our asses off for a year, and have taken great strides to make this the record we, as fans, would want to hear from Atheist. It's ferocious, intelligent, and dead balls heavy as shit! When people hear this they're going to say, 'It's Atheist!'"

I don't see why Jason Seucof mixing is a big deal. I'm sure Atheist know what they're doing... and hes done really good work.

because he generally mixes metalcore/groove shit. I'm pretty sure that's a reason to worry about

yes it was, and this will be too!

it doesn't matter so much who's mixing the record, i'm much more concerned with the quality of the music itself...as long as they don't let him play on the album, which he is notorious for.

Last year when I saw/talked to them they said they were also trying to plan a tour with Cynic soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

really interested to see how many fans they piss off. if they don't drastically change their sound, they won't have evolved enough for the cynic club. if they do change their sound, they'll piss off the everyone-else club.

It actually sounds like they'll be moving into heavier/metallier/ballsier material than they've written in the past. If you think about it, Elements wasn't really particularly heavy anyway. (Oddly, it's my favorite Atheist album.)

Jason Suecof makes money mixing for terrible bands but he's also played guitar in one of Atheists contemporaries (Capharnaum) and I'm pretty sure he knows that Atheist don't have the same sound as God Forbid.

Definitely happy to hear this; however, not to happy to hear that Suecof is dealing with mixing. I'm not the biggest fan of his. Most of the stuff he deals with is trendy metalcore and stuff that has little talent.

Read what I said earlier. Just because he knows how to make money doesn't mean he can't mix this album. He came out of the Florida death metal scene.

I'm hoping for something between something as radical as Traced in Air and something as heavy as Unquestionable Presence. Meaning that's a huge fucking gap they could fill, but nonetheless I wouldn't be satisfied with either extreme.
