Atheist (band)Atheist was a death metal band from Florida, founded under the name R.A.V.A.G.E. (which stands for Raging Atheists Voving A Gory End), whose music was highly technical and sometimes reminiscent of jazz. They combined brutal riffs with subtle latin music arrangements, much like in Cynic's cult album "Focus". They recorded their first album, Piece of Time, in 1988, but had to wait until 1990 to release it. In 1991, bassist Roger Patterson died in a car accident and Atheist recruited Tony Choy to record their second album, Unquestionable Presence. Atheist disbanded for the first time in 1992, the band reunited in 1993 and recorded their last album Elements before disbanding for the second (and last) time. Kelly Schaefer played with Neurotica until 2002. Tony Choy played in a number of other bands, like Pestilence and Cynic. Discography
