Atheist in the studio recording a new album!!!

Here�s a statement from Atheist: http://www.metalstorm.net/events/news.php?n_what=atheist&n_where=n.title

I'm very excited about this, too. I'm sure that, whatever they end up releasing, it's going to be good.

I hope Atheist can deliver the goods.  I remember earlier on in the reunion that Kelly said they wouldn't do another album unless they felt it could stand up with their other work.  That gives me some hope.

Very true, Jonas.

Of the two other most famous jazz/metal acts of the early 90's, the results are 50/50. Pestilence's reunion album was awful, but Cynic's was great! I'm hoping for the best! The only thing that concerns me is Jason Suecof... his production wouldn't fit Atheist's music IMO.

He's best known for producing (and helping out with) some Trivium albums. He's produced a bunch of other stuff as well (mostly in the metalcore/hardcore scene). His productions are usually pretty good, but I honestly don't think it will fit the tech jazz/death of Atheist unless he completely reinvents himself.

He has a pretty big legacy to live up to, considering the stellar productions of other Atheist albums. Here's his wikipedia article if you're curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Suecof

^ Is that a good thing or bad thing, Alex? 

^ I actually didn't know that you love Atheist haha!  I love them too btw.

Aaaaaaah Unquestionable Presence is the best man. Atheist clearly influenced a lot of bands with that album, you can hear the influence almost everywhere in the technical world of metal.
