Morbid Angel - new album[views:22039][posts:80]__________________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 12:38pm - Death_Metal_Jim ""] dont know if this is old news but.... i guess theyre recording it right now withOUT Pete Sandoval on drums and WITH Dave Vincent singin. This should be interesting. hopefully not for tha worse. Pete has a back injury so its only temporary. Tim Yeung (Hate Eternal) is playin drums on the album. kinda sux, Pete rules. Eric Rutan is producing again. The only thing i didnt like about HERETIC was the production, so...meh. I hope Dave sounds old school and not fag school. The only one I trust now is Trey. His songs/riffs have always been sick. These guys have been one of my favorites forever so... lets see what happens. EatShit. - - -definite top 5 best show ive been to = Morbid Angel,Skinless,Nile and Dehumanized @ the Met in Prov for $10 on the Formulas Fatal To The Flesh tour. anyone there? |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 12:53pm - arilliusbm ""] looking forward to hearing. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 12:59pm - arktouros ""] I like my death metal to sound filthy and the frontman to have a plastic shirt. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 1:11pm - Mark_R ""] Heretic is a great album, there is no Morbid Angel album I don't like. Every year since 2005 I've been hoping and hoping it's the year. I'm very disappointed that Pete won't be on the album. It doesn't matter if Tim plays parts exactly like Pete would - Pete is part of the heart and soul of Morbid. I survived 7 years without another album, if one more year would mean having Pete I could've held on. But since they are going ahead with this I DO WANT! NOW! Also tour please. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 1:25pm - goatcatabisk ""] I'm with Mark- if it's taken them this long to do another album (especially having David back), why not just wait another year+ to have Pete on it as well? Regardless, I'm still pleased that it's coming. I expect great things. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 19,2010 2:06pm - blue ""] I'm actually glad Tim Yeung is on this, I love Pete on drums and everything but I think Tim will enhance this album with better drumming. Blasphemy, I know. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 19,2010 2:08pm - boxxy ""] I like Tim's drumming, but it's hard for me to imagine him with MA. But that's all the more reason it might be awesome. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 2:47pm - CColostomy ""] Approved. Biggest issue here will be David Vincent his henna hair dye and his plastic getup. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 19,2010 3:21pm - Yeti ""] Tim Yeung is the new Tony Laureano, though not nearly as good. i don't think he is all that special, when i saw him with Vital Remains he was pretty average. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 3:39pm - Death_Metal_Jim ""] HERETIC was fukin sick. I was in a band(Terminal Logic) that was writing songs when Heretic just came out. I listened to it so much that our riffs/lyrics ended up soundin mainly influenced by it. Ever read that long thing on the inside of the CD book? Major influence. |

Blasphemy, I know. word insanity, Tim's great but Pete has an unmistakable aggressive style and feel that defines so much of MA's sound. That much being said Tim is as good a replacement pick as they could have made - he'll sound awesome...But not like, or better than, the Commando! |
| ________________________________________________ [Oct 19,2010 11:10pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] i think it'll only add to MA's sound. Pete is awesome but when someone fills your shoes, even temporarily, it gives a band a kick in the ass. And considering how killer Heretic is, that should make the new album SIIIIIIIIICK |

Do you guys really think they'd have someone fill in that isn't going to kill it? I'm sure they'll impress everyone. |

| _____________________________ [Mar 4,2011 9:11am - ark ""] more Trey electronics = good Erik Rutan producing = bad....so sick of that clean death metal sound, just because he uses analog he thinks he can get away with it. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 4,2011 9:47am - largefreakatzero ""] Yeah, that last Hate Eternal was pretty bad -- when you can't produce a decent album for your own band, don't think you can do it for others. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 4,2011 10:37am - Yeti ""] he did pretty well with Cannibal Corpse's last one, though i usually hate his production. Hate Eternal is a band i have zero interest in. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 8,2011 3:50pm - arktouros ""] http://truecultheavymetal.com/blog1.php/20...d-divinum-insanus-exclusive-preview No, the new Morbid Angel full-length album isn’t just eagerly-awaited! Since they set, with their first four records, the kind of standard that 90% of the current death metal scene still works toward, simply put, ‘Ilud Divinum Insanus’ (due on June 6th) is like the second coming of Christ. Except with more blastbeats, guitar wizardry courtesy of Trey Azagthoth and, erm, an industrial vibe. And, trust us, it has a fair share of surprises along the way, which will sure test their long-term term fans' sense of loyalty. Terrorizer’s Olivier ‘Zoltar’ Badin was invited to sunny Marseille last weekend to meet the band's prodigal son David Vincent and have an sneak listen to the band’s new album and give us this exclusive track-by-track preview of a beast of an album. Controversy guaranteed. 1. 'Omni Potens (intro)' A keyboard-based intro heralds the start of the eagerly-awaited new Morbid Angel album with a medieval twist that could have well been pulled from ‘Blessed Are The Sick”. Intended, says Vincent, to “set a dark and ominous mood” before the guitar kicks in. The first inkling of an industrial direction comes roaring out of the speakers, a preview of what’s coming next. For better for worst. 2. 'Too Extreme' If few moments on ‘Ilud Divinum Insanus’ are bound to raise more than a few eyebrows, this is most of definitively one of them. Fusing extreme metal with weird robot riffing and a martial beat, à la Laibach, this is probably what Digby (Pearson, Earache boss) had in mind when releasing the ‘Hellspawn’ compilation back in 1998. 3. 'Existo Vulgore' The first obvious Morbid Angel track. Fast and extreme, just the way we like. With a classic Trey Azagthoth solo too. 4. 'Blades Of Baal' The first of two tracks that new guitarist Destructhor (ex-Zyklon) wrote. “This is one of the fastest on the record. I think (drummer and session member) Tim Yeung goes as fast as 260 BPM on that one,” says David. The video made available on YouTube last October of Tim in the studio was shot during the tracking of that song. 5. 'I’m Morbid' Guess they didn't have Tom G Warrior in mind when thinking about that title track (R U Morbid anyone?)? But this is bound to be Wacken or Hellfest’s next official anthem. Built upon a spontaneous “Morbid! Morbid! Morbid” crowd chant, recorded during one of the band most recent European tours, its lyrics (“We stand invincible not just a dream/Straight from the underground/The gods are screaming”) are like a call to arms. If there was ever a successful ‘mainstream’ death metal song, this is it. 6. '10 More Dead' Also composed by Destructhor and based on the same kind of sludgy crawling as 'Where The Slime Lives', Vincent describes this one as “another really heavy song with full-on seven-stringed guitar”. This even has a classic thrash break in the middle. 7. 'Destructos Vs. The Earth/Attack' Back to the techno, or least Morbid Angel’s definition of it. Big beats and all, with some kind of childish backing vocals. An almost, wait for it, danceable tune, with sci-fi lyrics. No wonder EBM Norwegian superstars Combichrist have agreed to remix it for the B-side of the forthcoming ‘Nevermore’ 7”, to be released a month prior to the album. 8. 'Nevermore' You probably know this one already, as the band have been playing it since summer 2008. Once again, classic Morbid Angel to the bone; fast and furious. The first track written for the album and the first one brought on the table by Azagthoth when the band decided to work on a new record. 9. 'Beauty Meets Beast' Though this is another heavy monster, when asked if it is the band first openly sexual song (“Oh beautiful child/Come to me moist/I’m the great connoisseur”), Dave answers with a smile and says; “It’s about it time don’t you think?”. 9. 'Radikult' The album’s sore thumb. Even if Dave says he was influenced by “Dutch hardcore techno, you know gabba” for this one and that in the end, “it’s just extreme music”, it’s hard to know what the Ancient Ones would think of such lyrics as “We’re banging hardcore radical/Maniacal and animal”. This sounds like an unreleased Genitorturers’ track, Dave’s old White Zombie-inspired band, where he played alongside his wife Gen. In the worst case, Marilyn Manson rip-off accusations will fly faster than body parts. If one track on ‘Ilud Divinum Insanus’ is most likely to crystallise the controversy, this is it. 10. 'Profundis – Mea Culpa' Back to the 'ominous' synth-empowered symphonic vibe of the 'Omni Potens' intro, yet this time with über-weird guitar work by Trey and another martial tempo that all of a sudden switches into overdrive mode. A controversial way to end a controversial album? Definitely! |

| _______________________________ [Apr 8,2011 3:54pm - Mark_R ""] I really like the techno track that was on the Dark Tranquillity EP from 1996. While I don't expect this to sound similar to that, I do reasonably expect to like this too. And I still believe this is going to be a world-beater, even if the rest of the world doesn't. |
