ATHEIST

Frontman asks for comments

Kelly Shaefer has asked for comments on ATHEIST to help direct the reunited progressive deathster's eagerly anticipated new cut.

"I would like to create more of a community of people sharing the thoughts that you send to us, and post them on our comments page as opposed to replies to blogs, in the months leading up to the release of the most important record we will ever make, in my humble opinion. Those comments will help drive this ship to new lands (if I could borrow from Robert Plant). Myself and the others in the band will participate as well in discussions about the record on the comments page about your experience with our music, some of the things you write are amazing and I wish more people could hear them, and what level of participation our music has had in the soundtrack to your particular lives, and paths. In the early days of Atheist, we would correspond with one another through photocopied fanzines and letters back and forth, and that was the best! Now, it only makes sense, with the development of the Internet to parlay that into this medium, and it's waaaaay easier, old school fuckers will tell you that. We look forward to your opinions and thoughts on the band, we will be reading!"
