mark When it comes to thrashy late 80s death metal, this Atheist offering burned its own unique path and laid the groundwork for the band’s masterpiece, Unquestionable Presence. Favorite track: I Deny.

xhrl_ With maturity, "Piece of Time" contemplated the history of metal & summarized it! Demos included on this LP show two styles becoming one: a raw DM intent & a sense of epic riffing in the speed metal style. Hints of the coming DM style are heard in the proficiency & creativity of these songs in both structure & riff. Atheist form the bulk of their songwriting from intricate lead riffing or precise power & open chording. This music is progressive without being a slave to the ‘hybrid’ concept. Wow.

about

Piece of Time is the classic debut that brought ATHEIST to the front of the international metal scene's collective conscience. Almost six years in the making, Piece of Time combines the bands death metal roots and youthful exuberance with their growing pension for technical composition and performance. Instant classics such as On They Slay, I Deny, and the title track are ever bit as visceral and urgent now as they were upon release. Piece of Time captures ATHEIST in its formative years, perched on the precipice of greatness, and has emerged as a cult classic that has stood the test of time.
