Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 67: Kelly Shaefer of Atheist (Florida, USA)

In this episode, we talk with Kelly Shaefer, legendary frontman of Atheist - pioneers of Florida death metal. With the band’s groundbreaking discography freshly reissued in 2023, Kelly takes us on a wild ride through over two decades of extreme metal lyricism—from the raw aggression of 1990’s Piece of Time to the cosmic complexity of 2010’s Jupiter. While their subject matter swings broadly from criticism of religion to reverence for the moon, what remains constant, in Kelly’s mind is how every lyric is just as important as every riff that’s in every Atheist song.
