ATHEIST Planning California, Florida Dates

November 27, 2006

The long-awaited return of seminal technical metal pioneers ATHEIST to America happens this Saturday, December 2 at the Auditory Assault Festival at Sonar in Baltimore, MD.

After a very successful reunion this past summer in Europe with appearances at Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock, among others, ATHEIST's performance at the Auditory Assault Festival will mark the band's first American appearance since they broke up in 1993. The band plans several more American shows in 2007, with talks of a Los Angeles date and two Florida concerts. More information will be made available soon.

ATHEIST guitarist Rand Burkey was forced to bow out of the band's recent festival performances due to legal troubles. Filling in for Burkey on the reunion shows is veteran guitarist Chris Baker. Baker has joined core ATHEIST members Kelly Shaefer (vocals),Tony Choy (bass),and Steve Flynn (drums) as well as guitarist Sonny Carson (who is playing Shaefer's guitar role due to Shaefer's long-running battles with tendonitis and carpal tunnel). Baker and Carson are currently playing with Steve Flynn's new band GNOSTIC.
