You will do well to remember that Atheist released their last album Jupiter in 2010 after many years of silence. Now the technical death metal pioneers are at it once again and prepare to record their fifth studio album during 2014 for a release slated in 2015. This album will mark the return of bassist Tony Choy. Who is excited to hear new material from Atheist?

Founding member Kelly Shaefer comments: "We are happy to report that the 5th Atheist LP is in the works, and the band could not be more excited about the possibilities... Tony Choy will join us this go around, and having the endless rhythmic possibilities will be amazing."

Rounding out Atheist will be Chris Martin and Jason Holloway, both joined the band on the past tours and have also not been featured on an Atheist recording yet. Jason Suecof (Death Angel, Job For A Cowboy, God Forbid, DevilDriver) has been tapped to record and mix the new album.

Shaefer comments: "We will be working with Jason Suecof on this record, he has such a vast wealth of knowledge of our history as well as our sound, and we were lucky to be able to have him mix Jupiter, but this time he will be involved in the recording as well as the mix so that will be beastly!"

In 2014, Atheist also signed a worldwide management deal with New York based Extreme Management Group, Inc. The band commented on the signing: "We are also very excited to announce our signing with Extreme Management Group, Inc. This is a brand new venture for Atheist as we have never had management in our 25 year career, and EMG seems to be the perfect fit. We are inspired to set sail, and move forward in this the next, very important phase of the legacy, and integrity of the band, as well as this new album forthcoming. They have done great work with bands we are familiar with and friends with, and it is something we had never been afforded in the past to create new ventures for the band, as well as field the ones available to us now."
