MORBID ANGEL Announces New Guitarist - May 20, 2008

Metal Hammer writer Joel McIver reports that the new guitarist in Florida death metal legends MORBID ANGEL is none other than ZYKLON's longtime axemeister Destructhor (a.k.a. Thor Anders Myhren).

Frontman David Vincent told Metal Hammer in a recent interview, "The hunt for another guitarist to play alongside Trey (Azagthoth, the band's primary songwriter) was long and difficult. Man, I tell you, we had tapes sent to us from all over the world from guys who wanted to play in our band, and many of them were extremely talented — but Thor was the right choice for us. He's a fantastic guitarist and fits right in with the band. Also, ZYKLON have supported MORBID ANGEL in the past, so the guys knew each other already."

MORBID ANGEL is currently in the studio working on material for its first studio album since 2003's "Heretic". The upcoming CD will mark the group's first release to feature frontman David Vincent since 1995's "Domination".

MORBID ANGEL is presently unsigned, having parted ways with Earache Records following "Heretic"'s release.

Although MORBID ANGEL's upcoming album does not currently have a name, its title will likely begin with the letter "I", in keeping with the band's tradition of titling their albums in alphabetical order beginning with 1989's "Altars of Madness", and continuing through "Heretic".

MORBID ANGEL's current lineup is rounded out by drummer Pete Sandoval.
 
So who knows something about Dream Death? I received a numbered copy of Journey Into Mystery today (#20) and I was wondering what this is out of? Is this the first press? Is this the only press (the archives don't mention any reissues)?

Nice

A guy called in to my radio show once and requested Dream Death. :guh:

I hadn't heard them yet at the time. I played them for him the next week.

Anyway, at the moment I'm enjoying Immolation's Unholy Cult
 
Should I pick up Hail Of Bullets - ...Of Frost And War?

I'd say yes. It's a definite plus and great throw back to old school Death Metal, by the very same old schoolers that made it happen! Members of Pestilence, Gorefest, and Thanatos, what more could you ask for? I've listened to it, it's good. Though I did enjoy the production on the demo more, but this is still a fine record.

He's wrote good riffs in Zyklon and they seem influenced by Floridian DM so it's not much of a surprise though I would've expected Morbid Angel to take an American guitarist instead of a Scandinavian.
 
Dream Death - Journey Into Mystery was reissued by New Renaissance Records in 2000, limited to 1000 numbered copies.
