Holy shit Morbid Angel kicks ass

[StefTD]

Immolation anyone?

 

[P-E]

^^^ Seconded.

 

[Metaltastic]

Whenever I listen to Vital Remains, I almost invariably skip to the melodic/groovy breaks

 

[DolphinSplatter]

Check out Embalmed Existence by Resurrection

 

[GarethSE]

and dude Formulas is piss poor compared to the likes of Covenant/Blessed Are The Sick, best MA album is easily Altars Of Madness!

get the FUCK out of here.

see, I try to to avoid the depths of pretentious cuntish douchebaggery (and usually fail miserably but that's besides the point) but I have to go there right now
I dare say it's just a matter of you not being able to handle them making an album that was actually a bit out there and experimental.

seriously, ever noticed people never seem to like formulas and gateway to annihilation? ever noticed how those same people always love altars of madness? ever noticed how fucking weird formulas and gateway are? ever noticed how straight forward altars of madness in comparison?
FUCKING
SERIOUSLY.
listen to the solo on secured limitations and the first riff of chambers of dis
sounds like its made by downs syndrome kids
altars of madness sounds like it was written by a bunch of satanist dickheads.

sorry for the rant but i refuse to let anyone come into a topic about morbid angel and proclaim formulas to suck >:{ I REFUSEEEEEEEEEEEEE

anyway
american DM
Suffocation, Nile, Origin (especially the second album,) DECREPIT BIRTH (seriously, check out the first album if you want to hear one of the finest, filthiest, most incredible pieces of death metal ever recorded,) indricothere (well, sorta death/tech/weird metal, colin marston solo project, bassist from behold the arctopus, fucking good,) incantation (at least i think they're american,) immolation, gorguts (quebec, but who fucking cares, they're required listening,) deeds of flesh, cephalic carnage (early stuff is grind, new stuff is more tech deathy, it's all amazing though)

Immolation anyone?

apart from the new album which i shouldnt technically have so i dont have it but i do so shhhhh but its shit anyway so im going to delete it because its a pile of SHIT so lets all just pretend that they've broken up and never talk of it ever again ^_______________________________________________________^

 

[RemoWilliams]

Can't say there's any Morbid Angel album I don't like. Though "Heretic" was a little lackluster for me. But "Domination" is my favorite, followed by "Covenant" I remember having a big Trey Azagthoth kick in high school and wanting to riff the heavies like him.

 

[colonel kurtz]

deeds of flesh

central cali DM represent

 

[GarethSE]

remo, that's why formulas and gateways were easily the best because that cunt left the band for two albums and it was pure trey
just going to temples inside his fucken MIND and playing the most retarded solos ever, fucking brilliant

and deeds of fleesh are totally my jam. FUCK YEAH MARK OF THE LEGION

I remember getting a hand me down Guitar World from '93 which had an interview with Trey circa "Covenant" and he said that when he tracks his solos he puts himself in a room surrounded by pictures of himself dressed as an ninja with candles lit.

Trey is a bit warped alright, I've read some crazy interviews with him over the years There's a fine line between genius and insanity and I reckon Trey crossed that line years ago. Great composer and guitar player but hopefully David Vincent will put some quality control on their newer stuff and return them to greatness. I mean, Hereticuke:

My favourite Album of em is Covenant! Morbid Angel is absolutely unique! I dig all records, also the new stuff.

I remember after cooking something on the stove, I went to go clean the pan which was obviously still a bit hot, and as soon as the water hit it the pan started to steam and smoke and the first thing I could think to do was start singing, "Bow to me faithfully, bow to me splendidly! Bow to me faithfully!"

 

[scorpio01169]

before hearing this I was still into Metallica and Slayer but then.....

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

david vincent's lyrics better not suck ass on this one like they did on domination. I mean really david, "night work...my lifes work"? tucker's lyrics on gateways were fucking fantastic.

a lot of people give the band shit for f-h but honestly, f and g absolutely rape. formulas was almost all trey (iirc it was mostly old material, "invocation..." dates back to like 84) and while that was good, gateways was rutan/trey/tucker and it shows. some amazing riffing and soloing on that album.

the lyrics on the new song "nevermore" sounded weak from what I could make out, I really hope vincent didnt write all the lyrics for the new one.


not sure why gareth is ripping on the new immo, it has the trademark immolation sound but it's to the point. a great album for sure, though it doesnt hold a candle to ctawb (I dont think they'll ever top it.)

gorguts, nile, immolation, incantation, death, martyr, and origin are all mandatory listening for north american dm.

Hahahaha great!

 

[GarethSE]

nicholas, im ripping on it because when you listen to one track at a time, it's fucking fantastic, but when you listen to it all in one sitting it just becomes a blur of blastbeats and an overwhelming surge of MEH.
severe lack of the supreme immolation sludge riffs on the new one
ill stick to failures for gods and close to a world below ty


and yeah @ david vincent just seems like a controlling dick to me. the moment he leaves the other guys spread their creative wings and make 2 of the finest pieces of death metal ever recorded by human beings, you can just tell vincent was holding them back.
"hey david what if we..." "NO!"


also @ incantation just pretend everything apart from onward to golgotha doesnt exist ^_^ because nothing beats that album. SUPREME

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

I forgot to say that despite the terrible production on heretic, it still has some killer songs. cleansed by pestilence, enshrined by grace, stricken arise, and god of our own divinity all rape.

 

[ParsonsMatt]

listen to the solo on secured limitations and the first riff of chambers of dis
sounds like its made by downs syndrome kids

And this doesn't suck how...?

 

[Jackal_Strain]

Fuck yes Gareth!!

Formulas is the best MA album and it was the firs DM album I ever bought. Everything from the lyrics, the concepts, the crazy instrumentals and the sick riff makes this a masterpiece in my eyes!
