Elements is the third and final album released by the progressive/technical death metal band Atheist. It was released in 1993 by Relapse Records. This album is more jazz-oriented than the two previous albums, and it remains highly technical and powerful. Elements was written in forty days in Pro Media Studios.[citation needed] The band wanted to break up but they also needed to finish their third album contract to their record label. Elements features the addition of a third guitarist, Frank Emmi. Initially, Rand Burkey was not going to appear on the album, and as Kelly Shaefer had developed Carpel tunnel, (preventing him from playing anything but rhythm guitar) a new lead guitar player was needed. Before recording, Burkey rejoined the band, and thus the band ended up with three guitarists. Shaefer plays rhythm guitar, while Emmi and Burkey share responsibilities for leads and solos.
combinatiile ingenioase intre jazz si deat-metal te duc cu gandul la un adevarat festin muzical!!!..Elements reprezinta o sinteza muzicala de conceptie, cu adevarat exceptionala!!!cele 2 albume anterioare Elements-ului fac un pic jocul capodoperei care, dupa umila mea parere, are in centru o filosofie ecologica bine inchegata si determinata din punct de vedere al tehnicii muzicale!!!!!!...este un album care nu poate fi ratat!!!
se gaseste pe torente,..deci, enjoi!!!
