"Unquestionable Presence" is the second album by the death metal band Atheist. It was released in 1991 and it added a new and fresh sound by using jazz-like harmonies and unusual time signatures. It is considered a landmark album in the genre of technical death metal. [Badin, O. (December 2006). "Terrorizer" #151, "Death Metal: The DM Top 40", page 53.] Bassist Roger Patterson wrote the bass lines for "Unquestionable Presence", but he was killed in a touring van accident before the recording sessions took place. His work, however, can be heard on the pre-production demos included with the 2005 re-release. Tony Choy was brought in as a replacement to play bass on the album.
