This is a sick thread... 
Two death metal titans...
Gotta go with Morbid Angel, they possess two of the best at their craft. Trey Azagthoth is the next logical step from Jimi Hendrix to Edward Van Halen.
Utter worship... no one plays like him. They can try, but that is all.
There is something about the Angel and that magical time when Earache was being birthed...

For the moment I abstain from the vote.
Suffocation leads for me, but since buying "Altars of Madness" and "Blessed Are the Sick" I think I've hardly given them enough listening time.
Going off the one album by each band I've listened to the most (Domination vs Effigy of the Forgotten) Suffocation leads, but I've got to do some more research before I think I can really choose one over the other.

Dude, put on some headphones and absolutely lose yourself in Blessed Are The Sick. His leads.... that drumming, the whole vibe is unlike any other death metal out there.
Morbid Angel > than all other death metal bands

I think I will. I'm actually undertaking the ridiculous task of re-visiting my entire collection and familiarizing myself with all the albums I don't think I've listened to enough or at all. Started this last night and I can tell its going to take a damn long time.
I think I may skip ahead and visit with Morbid Angel tonight though.

Like Gorguts, I never could get into MA, but yeah, those dudes are masters on their instruments. I always thought their best was Altars of Madness.

Ah, so you haven't heard any of the STeve Tucker era stuff?J. said:
His vocals are far better in my book, more brutal.
Anyhow, the song is track 4 from Formulas Fatal To The Flesh.

Hands down. What I've always loved about Morbid Angel is that every record is COMPLETELY distinct.Papa Josh said:
Suffocation is pretty damn cool, but with my limited knowledge of their work I couldn't place them above Nile, Mithras, Carcass, etc. and certainly not The Mighty Morbid Angel.
I think i''l go for Morbid Angel because Altars of Maddness rules much. But then Suffocation's Effigy of The Forgotten comes to mind

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Forgot to mention that every Morbid Angel album has something great to offer. Even their weaker material has at least 3 flat out incredible songs. I prefer the Vincent period to Tucker, but that dude is nearly as awesome (except Formulas, the only one where the vocals just aren't up to snuff).
Invocation of the Continual One is one of the most epic songs ever, and easily the most epic death metal song I've heard. It also contains my favorite guitar solo ever, or at least top 5 material.
Trey Azagthoth is probably my favorite guitarist ever, metal or otherwise. The dude's playing is frickin' inhuman. Like Papa said, NOBODY plays like that motherfucker. Just listen to any of their riffs, even the imitators can't pull it off. His solos are another thing, not even worthy for discussion. Particularly Where The Slime Live solos... *raging guitar shaped boner explodes with delight*

Morbid Angel are gods whereas Suffocation are like the Pope, bishops or shepherds or something...

NAD said it all, especially in this quote.NAD said:
Hmm, I'd go with Shepherd or perhaps Sunday vicar. I guess that would make Death the friggin' holy ghost.Papa Josh said:
This thread should have been "Morbid Angel vs. Death". That wouldn't have been so easy.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Yes it would have been.JayKeeley said:
The only possible contender is Carcass, and even that Morbid Angel will win out because of a more consistent catalogue. I couldn't live without either band though.
I'm surprised how many people have gone so overwhelmingly with Morbid Angel. Right now, I'm still giving Suffocation the lead, despite the fact that I'm liking Morbid Angel more as I go back through and listen to Altars and Blessed. I just haven't heard anything that does for me what Effigy of the Forgotten does yet, so we'll have to see.
