Atheist - Elements

CD + DVD Digipack / Elements’ is the final chapter in the story of a band many years ahead of its time. Its complex arrangements fused disparate sounds such as delicate jazz, deep funk grooves, Latin rhythms, flamenco guitar stylings, and samba interludes with blistering metal chops to create music that confused as many as it pleased. A fitting swansong for the unique entity that ATHEIST had become, ‘Elements’ was almost equally regaled and reviled for the ambitious ideas it put into motion. In the years since the band split ‘Elements’ has been recognized as a crucial piece of ATHEIST history and a marker for the wider acceptance for heavy, dynamic, progressive metal. This deluxe reissue includes a 6-song live radio broadcast, as well as an exclusive, brand new bonus DVD featuring three previously unreleased live shows and an interview.
