New Morbid Angel album to be released this year under Season of Mist

Old news man. That song is shit too. I really, really hope they can deliver the goods on this one. Morbid Angel, legendary band that they are, have their work cut out for them these days. Nile have been consistently releasing excellent albums for the last decade and that is the standard for present day American DM in my opinion. Last good Morbid Angel was Covenant and maybe Formulas. From Formulas onwards they lost the plot. Too much filler and aimless stupid instrumentals and no actual *songs*. Gimme any of the first 3 studio albums any day compared to the latter stuff, great songs and a genuinely eerie, mystical atmosphere about them.
 
Gateways to annihilation is their best imo

not digging that david vincent is back in the band. once he left they did the best shit ever.

:lol: Blasphemy!! Altars Of Madness is quite possibly the greatest Death Metal album of all time. No other MA album (bar Blessed Are The Sick) can match it's savagery, almost backwards riffing, blasting, insane over the top solos and genuine evilness. No offence man, but Gateways is a snoozefest. I dig the fact David Vincent is back in Morbid Angel. Bar none, the greatest Death Metal frontman of all time. The guy has immense stage presence and command and that voice. I've seen Morbid loads of times in all their different incarnations (Vincent, Tucker and when Jared Anderson R.I.P. filled in vox) and Vincent is the ultimate MA frontman.
Hopefully he'll have more creative control as regards the new album as they lost the magic they had when he left. Formulas, Gateways and Heretic may be good albums but they're not good Morbid Angel ones.
 
altars of madness bores the living fuck out of me. ive only really digged morbid angels weirder side though, namely formulas and gateways. secured limitations = fuck yes. that solo makes my brain explode.
 
+1 on everything Gareth said-Gateways is fucking great!
The other stuff is good and has some cool moments, but Gateways is one of the best DM albums every-for me.
 
I hope trey isnt letting vincent write lyrics for this one, though it sounds like it listening to "nevermore." his lyrics, by the time domination had come around, were pretty shitty ttytt
 
I pretty much dig most of their work, so I'm definitely curious aboutt this album. One of the best bands in death metal ever IMO
 
:headbang: I have been waiting for Morbid Angel to release a new album for what feels like an eternity. I think I'm going to need a change of underwear and possibly shorts. Maybe even socks.
 
Hey check this out, about Morbid Angel and backward riffs. I stumbled upon this back in the day when I used to record to my tascam 4-track. One day I flipped the tape and, well check it out.

I love Gateways quite a bit. I'm also pretty fond of Domination and Formulas. Covenant is decent, but doesn't compare to those 3, IMO. All others have been uninspiring. I've been kinda a huge fan of the Rutan-era stuff, thought he had a lot to add to the mix. Hope the new one isn't dildos...
