    Roger died in a car crash in Feb of 1991, this must have been one of the last recordings of his genius. These guys set the stage for prog/thrash and built the template and they've never been overtaken as the masters. Small catalog, but it packs a punch.

    Classic Old School Tampa Bay Florida Death Metal. Insane talent in musicians. Imagine the crucible of creativity from 1985-1995. "The scene coalesced in the mid-1980s through early 1990s around the output of bands such as Death, Nasty Savage, Deicide, Monstrosity, Morbid Angel, Atheist, Obituary, and others. The producer Scott Burns and the studio Morrisound Recording were also instrumental in developing and popularizing the Florida scene. Some bands which originated outside of Florida, such as Malevolent Creation and Cannibal Corpse, relocated to the state in order to participate in this burgeoning scene." - Wikipedia

    Sucks reading how they were pretty poorly received opening up for Cannibal Corpse and the Candlemass tours as openers. NO one was ready for this level of skill & technicality while still retaining being a extremely heavy band. I know other bands like Suffocation & Napalm Death respected and loved Athiest's music. "How chuffed is Roger from Athiest?" former ND drummer Mick Harris said on their 1990 Live Corruption video.

    ИСТОРИЯ DEATH METAL. Американский легион. ATHEIST - 1991 - Unquestionable Presence - Active Records Как это и полагается, флоридские Атеисты сначала не были Атеистами, а в первый раз были Oblivion (1984-1985), потом стали R.A.V.A.G.E. - (1985-1987). Вот как R.A.V.A.G.E. записали два демо и один сплит с 4 хорошими группами. Что произошло, почему поменялось название, можно только предполагать, но оказывается, R.A.V.A.G.E означало, ни много ни мало, а Raging Atheists Vowing A Gory End. Так что можно подумать, что это было просто сокращение. Уже как ATHEIST, группа записала опять два демо, одно из которых вообще было без обложки, а вот второе - с ксерокопированной, под названием «Beyond» (1988). Промотируя это демо, музыканты выступали с такими командами как TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL и OBITUARY. В таком режиме гастролей их заметили и подписали на европейский лейбл Active Records. Не сказать, чтобы американские лейблы проспали Атеистов, просто та первая компания, которая подписала контракт с группой, обанкротилась. Атеисты зарядили первый альбом Piece of Time, который, конечно же, произвел эффект разорвавшегося ядерного заряда. Но именно второй многими рецензентами считается вехой Technical Death Metal. Тут есть еще и такая зловещая деталь - в 1991 году басист Roger Patterson погиб в автоаварии, и группа рекрутировала Tony Choy (ранее участник Cynic), чтобы записать альбом. А ведь Patterson приложил немало усилий при написании альбома Unquestionable Presence. Атеисты посвятили этот альбом своему басисту. В 2005 году, когда вышло переиздание диска, в него включили демо-записи с игрой Паттерсона. Думаю, что не намного ошибусь, если скажу, что первая минута этого альбома навсегда отложилась в памяти большинства металлистов всего мира. Ну уж очень она была необычна... Где колокола? Где «поддатое» пианино? Где, в конце концов, орган? Ничего подобного. Атеисты начинают как Джаз Дэт Метал группа, и валит так же на протяжении всех (сколько?) 32 минут. А в эти полчаса втиснуто столько музыкального контента, что он реально кажется минут на 50 - как минимум. Это вне всяких шуток, такого прессинга металл еще не знал. Все было впереди. Шокирующая тема - исполняет метал группа - 4 человека, играет замороченный Технический Дэт Метал и все металлические сердца покорены. Не знаю, как так получилось, но группа играет Джаз Дэт, который доступен среднему металлисту, отлично им воспринимается, и именно как метал, а не джаз (ну хоть это немного понятно, есть там свои фишки). Так что не зря этот альбом и веха, и краеугольный камень. Потому что Атеисты были первыми. В принципе, надо отдать должное гитаристам и вообще музыкантам команды (потому что они все здесь писали песни, даже Тони Чой (трэки 1, 8). С другой стороны, терять им было нечего, а первопроходцами жанра хочется быть всем. Но не всем можется. Kelly Shaefer - (Vocals, Guitars, Lyrics, Songwriting) исполняет здесь в трэшевом вокале, причем каком-то олдовом его стиле, и все проходит очень гармонично. Причем иногда Келли прямо взрывает песню, начинает ее и буквально крошит все правила и стандарты о каменную ступеньку, его вокал зачастую как гитарное соло имеет главенствующее значение (как в трэке Your Life's Retribution). Джаз - джазом, а некоторые рецензенты заметили здесь латинские ритмы. Что в принципе не очень удивительно, ибо тут ритм-структур просто уйма, и в течение одной минуты Атеисты меняют их до 10 раз, сами засеките время, проверьте. Иногда слушая этот альбом, проникаешься... и входишь в какую-то незаметную дверцу и следишь за повествованием будто изнутри, заключенный в эту чудесную, и даже более того, волшебную музыкальную шкатулку Unquestionable Presence.
