Morbid Angel has seen some controversy of late, what with the mixed reaction by fans and critics to their most recent album, Ilud Divinum Insanus. However, this does not take away the fact that this Florida band helped shape the sound of death metal. They close out Saturday night, May 26, at the 2012 Maryland Deathfest.
All references to their most recent recording aside, Morbid Angel dominates when it comes to crushing riffs, ear-splitting leads, heavy vocals and impressive live performances that more than make up for any concerns anyone might have had about them becoming a techno industrial metal band. I am sure that bassist and vocalist David Vincent will whip the crowd into a sweaty frenzy before the night is over. Morbid Angel founding member and death metal guitar god Trey Azagthoth won't disappoint either, as I expect him to set the stage ablaze with his mighty solos.
Pete Sandoval is Morbid Angel's phenomenally talented drummer, however, it has been confirmed that Tim Yeung will perform with them live as Pete's back is still recovering from surgery. Also touring is guitarist Destructhor (Thor Anders Myrhen), who has done live work for 1349.
Here's a charmingly creepy track from Morbid Angel's first full-length recording, Altars of Madness, and a clip from a live show in 2011.
