Overview
Jupiter is the name of the upcoming fourth studio album by the American technical death metal band, Atheist. It will be their first studio album in 17 years since the release of Elements in 1993.

On October 5, 2005, Atheist vocalist Kelly Shaefer announced that the band would possibly reform to play live shows sometime in the following year. In January 2006 the band reformed with Shaefer on vocals, Rand Burkey on guitar, Tony Choy on bass, and Steve Flynn on drums and announced festival appearances.

On July 12, 2008, Shaefer announced that he and drummer Steve Flynn would be meeting up to write music together for the first time since Unquestionable Presence in 1991. On March 6, 2009, Atheist announced that they had signed with the Independent record label, Season Of Mist and on July 5, 2010, they finally entered the studio to begin recording a new album.

On July 11, 2010, Atheist revealed that the new album will be named "Jupiter" and that it is scheduled for a November release. In August 2010, the band revealed the track listing for the album and announced that bassist Tony Choy parted ways with the band. A replacement bassist hasn't been brought in, as guitarist Jonathan Thompson also recorded the bass tracks for the new album.

[AromaOfPutrefaction]

[grindcoremaniac]

[AromaOfPutrefaction]

@grindcoremaniac Yeah man, i know what you mean. But you'd expect that after that amount of time. [Without releasing an album] \m/

fuck yeah!

@clydekatithomas King Diamond uses all sorts of satanic imagery and lyrics in his music...yet he is an avowed atheist. There's no unwritten law that says that musicians have to necessarily "believe" in what they sing about or make music about.

[thychaos]

@clydekatithomas what the fuck are you babbling about

[MrMike0113]

@clydekatithomas I would assume they're atheists. There are plenty of bands that use satanic imagery purely because it fits with the dark atmosphere of metal.

@clydekatithomas its cool haha, the name itself is just part of the bands imagery, not to be taken totally seriously ya know

[clydekatithomas]

@clydekatithomas dude calm down hahahhaa

[MrMike0113]

@clydekatithomas Why do you assume that the members of Atheist believe in the things they write songs about?
