Technical metal pioneers ATHEIST have announced their first American reunion show will take place at the inaugural Auditory Assault Festival.

The Auditory Assault Festival will take place at the Sonar Club in Baltimore, MD on November 25th. Also scheduled to appear are Relapse label mates MISERY INDEX and CRETIN with many more bands to be announced shortly. This performance is the first of what will be a small number of select American reunion shows by the band. For more information on this Relapse Records co-sponsored festival, please visit: www.supremebrutality.com/auditoryassault.

ATHEIST guitarist/vocalist Kelly Shaefer comments, "We are so pleased to be able to play as Atheist for the first time in America since 1991 and excited that it is part of a great new festival. As with our recent European festival shows, we will be performing songs from all 3 records, and we aim to make it a technical death metal extravaganza Atheist style!"

ATHEIST recently began an exclusive run of European festival performances with incredible performances at Italy's Evolution Festival and the UK's Bloodstock Open Air. Shaefer continues, "We would like to say thanks to the Evolution Festival and Bloodstock Open Air for helping to give many people who never got to see Atheist live a chance to see us one last time. Both festivals were incredible experiences for us and ones we will never forget."

Additionally, the band's wildly-influential catalog (1988's "Piece of Time", 1993's "Elements", and 1991's legendary "Unquestionable Presence") has recently been made available for the first time via iTunes and select digital distributors internationally.

holy poop!

something will fall through...too good to be true.

they've done a few European festivals recently, so I dont see how they couldnt pull off a US festival date. This will make me go to AA if it actually happens.

Sucks that TERRORIZER dropped off of the AA show.

terrorizer dropped off? I didn't see that.
I have a feeling that i'll be at AA

carina will be "dragged" so people can by her drinks.

Whoa!
