Atheist -- Baltimore, MD -- December 2nd, 2006

[overkiller]

Once again I can't remember the order of the set because I didn't write it down, but as Atheist only has 3 albums I can tell you which songs they played. I'm not sure if any of you guys like Atheist besides ADD, but whatever.

(not in order, remember)

From Piece of Time:

Piece of Time
Unholy War
I Deny
(can't remember if they played On They Slay, they may have)

From Unquestionable Presence:

Mother Man (+bass solo)
Unquestionable Presence
An Incarnation's Dream
And the Psychic Saw

From Elements:

Air
Mineral



The set ran a little over an hour, hopefully I didn't forget any songs. They were fucking awesome, by the way. Kelly (the frontman) actually stopped the band twice to fix the sound mix--the guitars were too low at first. He apologized and was cool about it, and they sounded better for it each time, so it was fine. Tony Choy is a fucking madman on the bass, and his solo was pretty awesome. There was a shorter drum solo as well. Overall I'm really fucking glad I went to this show.

And by the way, this was the Auditory Assault Festival, by the same people who do Maryland Deathfest. I didn't feel like seeing any of the other bands, though, so I just showed up right before Atheist took the stage.

One of the first death metal bands, right?

One of the first technical/progressive death metal bands.

Death metal is death metal ain't it?

Lemmy was right, metal is overclassified.

Listen to Atheist, then Cannibal Corpse. Case in point.

Yeah, no. ADD is right here. And although they have elements (no pun intended) of death metal, they are soooo far from what one might automatically think upon hearing the phrase "death metal".

I hope they do a full tour. I would really love to see them. Great setlist!

I remember when Kelly fronted that shitty nu-metal band Neurotica. I saw them at Ozzfest 2002. Thank god he's back with Atheist
