Initial text

R.A.V.A.G.E. (which stands for Raging Atheists Voving A Gory End)

"Voving"? Should that be "Vowing" or not? This is hardly my specialised subject, so I'm leaving the actual article well alone, but I thought it worth mentioning. Loganberry 04:32, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

?

I recently read (on BNR metal) that Kelly Shaefer & Rand Burkey had talked about remforming Atheist, is there any truth in this that would be worth adding to the article? Avador 00:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've read something similar recently, but I doubt the reunion will take place (although it would be cool).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.107.4.172 (talk • contribs) 15:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC).[reply]

not death metal

ummm I would really not classify them as death metal... more like experimental thrash—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.139.207.240 (talk • contribs) 11:18, 20 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

they are clearly in the same vein as cynic (which are regarded as (prog/tech/whatever) death metal) as well as Death themselves. Bay Area Death sounds like this... it has nothing to do with Morbid Angel's kind of death metal just to give an example.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.196.71.7 (talk • contribs) 19:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Death/thrash is the most appropriate description. Pasajero 19:36 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Another former Bass Player

Another Former Bass Player is Kyle Sokol from Tampa, Florida, USA. The time frame was mid 90's I believe.

He did work with the former Disincarnate singer Bryan Cegon as well as Chuck Schuldiner prior to his death. He works in tampa as a session player for many bands in the south Eastern USA, ands plays bass for a metal act called Must Not Kill (www.myspace.com/mustnotkill) and also a Punk Act Rude Squad (www.myspace.com/rudesquad)

His endorsements include M Basses (www.mbasses.com) and AccuGroove bass cabinets (www.accugroove.com) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.31.19.50 (talk) 16:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New album?

Kelly Shaefer seems to think it will happen. BrainRotMenacer (talk) 05:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current Lineup 2011

Hey guys, this is Travis Morgan, I'm the new bass player of Atheist...

Just wanted to let you guys know that Johnathan Thompson is no longer in the band, he got a job as a surgeon tech and quit the band in February. Jason Holloway is playing guitar for us now, he's a really cool guy and great guitarist. I'm kind of a wikipedia noob, so if someone wants to update the page with all the proper wiki-etiquette, that'd be awesome. Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.205.214 (talk) 06:06, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
