Florida death metallers MORBID ANGEL have once again parted ways with bassist/vocalist David Vincent and have reunited with Steve Tucker (pictured)
Says MORBID ANGEL guitarist Trey Azagthoth: "I'm excited to announce that Steve Tucker and I are working together again for MORBID ANGEL and the next record will certainly be an amazingly sick World Beater!"
MORBID ANGEL is also believed to have split with drummer Tim Yeung, who joined the band in 2010 as the replacement for the group's longtime drummer, Pedro "Pete" Sandoval, so that Pete could recover from surgery for a disc prolapse. A replacement drummer has not yet been announced.
After starting out as vocalist/bassist for death/thrash act CEREMONY, Steve Tucker moved on to handle bass and vocals on MORBID ANGEL's "Formulas Fatal To The Flesh", "Gateways To Annihilation" and "Heretic" LPs. In 2009, Tucker was recruited to take part in the NADER SADEK album "In The Flesh" for release through then-brand-new label Greyhaze Records, and licensed to Season of Mist Records. The project also featured Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY), Rune Eriksen (MAYHEM, AVA INFERI) and more. During this time, Tucker struck up a relationship with Greyhaze Records, and together they joined forces to release the debut album from Tucker's WARFATHER project, last year's "Orchestrating The Apocalypse".
MORBID ANGEL's 2011 album, "Illud Divinum Insanus", marked the band's first CD to feature Vincent since 1995's "Domination".
