Brain Damage On They Slay Hell Hath No Mercy Choose Your Death No Truth Total Time: But if you are into death metal, I think you surely will like this album.
Most of the songs have a very complex structure, vertiginous rythm changes and incredible instrumental skill. For all that, is a death metal less monotonous than other bands of the same era like Obituary or Bolt Thrower, and maybe for that "Piece of Time" is still fresh and pretty enjoyable today.
My favourite songs: Piece of Time a slash in the face , Room With a View with a great macabre feeling ATHEIST are one of those rare metal bands full of insanely talented individuals with interesting influences Kelly Shaefer the singer cites Rush and King Crimson amongst his influences that form a musical machine that writes songs that people can't even hope to imitate.
This is progressive music, not in the traditional sense the elements of technicality and unorthodox songwriting that atheist incorporate into their music are easily apparent, make no mistake this is a progressive death metal band. The album begins with the eponymous track in a foreboding mysterious fashion before and it's not long before we get a glimpse of ATHEIST's trademark technicality, this song is one of the highlights of the album especially the fast paced double kick driven ending complete with bitchin' solo.
The third song Room with a view is easily one of the best on the album if not the best, there are some amazing riffs and the song writing in particular shines through here, at around the 3 minute mark I thought the song was going to end and it was good enough at that point but cleverly they incorporated a building riff with some well considered soloing leading into a climatic double kick driven breakneck ending much like the first song. The next song on they slay is my personal favourite, it is very well paced and has a lot of the best riffs on the album although it doesn't end as strongly as the other 2 highlight songs.
Unfortunately from the exemplary beginning the album dies down a bit, there are quite a few interesting parts and some fairly decent songs but nothing sticks like the first 4 songs do, 'no truth' does end the album well though. The instrumentation on this album is fantastic. Steve Flynn is one of my favourite drummers, it's clear he is a jazz trained drummer who then got interested in metal more apparent on their next album unquestionable presence though his drumming is ever interesting and technical, very groovy and frenetic yet appropriately brutal and heavy, the perfect drummer for this music - more metal drummers need to look up to drummers like him and create some interesting beats instead resorting to boring old heavy metal standards.
The two guitarists Kelly Shaefer and Rand Burkey have great chemistry delivering some precise technical harmonised riffs and shredding their axes to bits, their guitar work is a joy to listen to. Kelly Shaefer's vocals are interesting by metal standards, half way between a snarl and a shout - they fit the music perfectly as while their music is death metal a full on guttural death grunt would not suit the music at all as it is tuned in E a lot of death metal is tuned down to D and B or lower and quite upbeat by death metal standards.
Roger Patterson the bassist was actually chiefly responsible for writing the music of atheist's first 2 albums Roger sadly passed away after the recording of piece of time although you wouldn't know it on piece of time as he doesn't come to the fore often which is a little disappointing. Technical thrash metal was nothing new at this point, but fusion influenced rhythms and bass work in metal was not exactly the order of the day. Watchtower and a few other progressive inclined acts had pioneered the use of fusion rhythms in metal, but applying the fusion elements to a more extreme form of metal was pretty new.
Shaefer has a rather distinct sounding snarling vocal style, which provides the music with an even more unique sound. Upon conclusion "Piece of Time" is a very promising debut album by Atheist. This album, as I just mentioned, is very influenced by death metal. It features death metal riffs, drumming, and vocals. However, "Piece of Time" does show a lot of technicality.
The whole album is very stop and go, features many short guitar or bass breakdowns, technical riffs, progressing riffs throughout the song, and technical drumming, influenced by Jazz it sounds. Personally, I like Kelly Shaefer's vocals. I think they are distinct and different from most metal bands I have heard.
His guitar work is great and technical and he plays some blazing solos. I love the way the guitars sound on this album, gives it a different feel from most metal.
Roger Patterson plays some great bass, the only problem is you do not hear much of it, due to just the music or low quality. Steve Flynn is a great drummer, but is better showcased on their next album. However, he does display some seriously technical, and fast, drumming on "Piece of Time". However, some notable ones are "Unholy War" with its unique intro and a great chance to hear some bass and "No Truth" which has a mellow minute and a half long intro before plunged into the madness.
This is a great album, but perfect by no means. The production quality is fairly low. After she was elevated by the pope, Becquart lived for six months at a home for clergy close to St. The priests initially were hesitant, but after a few shared meals and conversations they got used to the new arrival.
