How's the new Morbid Angel album guys?

Right in line with Gateways tbh

The music on Kingdoms Disdained is about what I expect from Morbid Angel these days, which isn't a compliment. Erik Rutan did a typical Rutan production job, so the album's mix is basically the antithesis of dynamic range. My biggest gripe is the drumming, which sounds laughably fake. Scott Fuller also has about as much personality as a drum machine. Initial reviews were super critical of the drum sound and style, but I wasn't expected to dislike it this much. It's also louder than all of the other instruments because Rutan is a hack producer.

In summary, it's a pretty mediocre album, but still better than the previous one. Not that this is a big accomplishment.

KILL A COP KILL A COP KILL A KILL A KILL A COP

Yeah the instant I heard that drumming I actually laughed out loud.

By the way, the "KILL A COP" thing is a meme from when the previous Morbid Angel album was new because a lot of people misheard the lyrics that way. I'm posting this because I'd hardly be surprised if there was someone on this site who actually likes that album and will try to tell me that I got the lyrics wrong when I was making fun of it.

2011 AOTY

I bet that somebody will include it when that year comes around.

zero chance, unless they're trolling.

Vader released a killer album back in 2011, that would probably make the a few lists.

Butcher ABC's North of Hell is now available for listening on Bandcamp.

Butcher ABC has to be one of the worst band names that I've seen.

balanced out by some of the best cover art ever tho

 

[Omni]

Yeah, the cover art rules.

 

[CiG]

I believe the idea was to have members go by aliases like Butcher A, Butcher B, Butcher C etc.

Narutoshi Sekine (aka Butcher A) is also in a Butcher ABC cover band called Naru and Boys, just to further illustrate how wacky those Japs are.
