ATHEIST Frontman Issues New Album Update
October 14, 2008Vocalist Kelly Shaefer of the reactivated seminal technical metal pioneers ATHEIST has issued the following update:
"So I will be heading to [Atlanta, where ATHEIST drummer Steve Flynn is based] just after [daughter] SkyeLilly's birthday [November 11] zipping back home for Turkey Day [Thanksgiving], and then back to the lab for more technical metal brewing. We hope to have [the new ATHEIST album] ready by spring 2009 and then it's off for some/lots touring and hope to hit some countries we have not been to as well as ones we have not been to since '93. Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, as well as, of course, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia etc."
In January 2006, Kelly Shaefer reassembled much of what was widely considered ATHEIST's classic recording lineup (Shaefer, bassist Tony Choy, and drummer Steven Flynn) to perform a select number of one-off shows to celebrate the re-issue of their wildly-influential catalog (1988's "Piece of Time", 1993's "Elements", and the 1991's legendary "Unquestionable Presence"). Among those shows were performances at such legendary festivals such as Germany's Wacken Open Air, Norway's Hole In The Sky, Italy's Evolution, England's Bloodstock Open Air, and the Los Angeles' Murderfest.
Proressionally filmed video footage of ATHEIST performing the song "And the Psychic Saw" at the Wacken Open Air 2006 festival in Wacken, Germany can be viewed below.
