Klasycy death metalu z Florydy. Od 1988 serwują death/thrashową strawę w technicznym sosie z dodatkami w postaci jazzu i progresji. Debiut stał się kamieniem milowym dla bardziej zaawansowanego kompozycyjnie oblicza podgatunku, a wyprzedzająca swoje czasy trójka stała się gwoździem do trumny zespołu. Całość uzupełniona jest charakterystycznymi wokalami. Atheist powróciło do życia w 2006 r. po ponad 10-tu latach przerwy.
