Today is the 20th day of Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness. Four men released an album that would change the way we listen to death metal. They pushed the boundaries of what is extreme and twisted. Sure, you had other early bands like Death, or Possessed, but never quite released anything like Altars of Madness. This album is pretty fucking evil. From Trey and Richard's twisted guitar work, to David Vincent's bass and fucking evil growls/screams, to Pete's drum work, it is nothing but pure evil. Still after 20 years, this album is often viewed as one of the best death metal albums of all time. Still after 20 years, it is still one of the most wicked and twisted albums ever made.
So through out the rest of your day, think about what this album has done to death metal, and metal in general.
