Atheist To Tour, Release Live Album

The legendary Florida technical death metal band Atheist is back on tour this month. The current lineup includes Kelly Shaefer on vocals, Chris Baker and Jonathan Thompson on guitars, Tony Choy on bass and Steve Flynn on drums.

Current tour dates (with support from The Faceless, Psyopus, The Agonist and Gnostic) are as follows:

Jul 8 - Masquerade, Atlanta, GA
Jul 9 - Volume 11, Raleigh, NC
Jul 10 - Jaxx, Springfield, VA
Jul 11 - Sterling Hotel, Allentown, PA
Jul 12 - BB Kings, New York, NY
Jul 13 - Peabodys, Cleveland, OH
Jul 14 - The Pearl Room, Mokena, IL

On July 21, Relapse Records will release Atheist's Unquestionable Presence: Live at Wacken, which document's the band's fourth live performance after initially reuniting in 2006. As its title indicates, it's a complete run-through of their second album, and will be paired with a second disc that's effectively a best-of from their three studio discs (all of which Relapse remastered and reissued a few years back). If you want to pre-order the disc, plus a snappy Atheist T-shirt, you can do that. You can also hear the live version of "Unquestionable Presence" at Atheist's MySpace page.
