Atheist was a Death Metal band from Florida , USA , founded under the name ''R.A.V.A.G.E.'' (which stands for ''Raging Atheists Vowing A Gory End''), whose music was technical and sometimes reminiscent of Jazz . They combined brutal riffs with subtle Latin Music arrangements. They recorded their debut 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, the now classic '' Unquestionable Presence ''. Atheist disbanded for the first time in 1992 , reuniting in 1993 and recording their last album '' Elements '' before disbanding for the second time. Kelly Schaefer played with Neurotica until 2002 . Tony Choy played in a number of other bands, including Pestilence and Cynic . Relapse Records re-issued the band's three albums in late 2005 , as well as a vinyl box set containing the three albums plus the R.A.V.A.G.E. demo ''On They Slay''. Former drummer Steve Flynn has recently re-emerged in a new band called Gnostic {Link without Title} . In the beginning of 2006, Atheist announced they were regrouping to perform live during the summer and fall of 2006. The line-up will be Schaefer, Burkey, Choy and Flynn. {Link without Title} DISCOGRAPHY
