Morbid Angel

[The Frayed Ends]

Trey's probably not autistic. Just socially awkward as fuck. :haha

[Psychopathology]

Oh boy, Erik Rutan is producing the new album. This is going to be a train wreck.

[OldDavidian]

Trey's probably not autistic. Just socially awkward as fuck. :haha

I just saw his MTV hosting on youtube and boy was he horrible

[Steve08]

"Gonna give some represent for my clan, WoWClan."

Playing Quake with Trey would be AWESOME.

[ShredHead396]

^ So true, i just want the album to come out though, i personally can't wait for some new material

Hopefully it'll be a healthy mix of Gateways,Altars and Domination

[we_built_a_tree]

It'll be shit, just like the last ones. A total waste of time.

[Riffmast]

Except the Steve Tucker era was better then 95% of all metal.But Vincent being back is my biggest concern.

[ShredHead396]

^ Still, if the first 4 albums are any indication of what is to come from Vincents return, then i think we can at least expect something more enjoyable than Heretic, that album was just a lot of filler in my eyes

[we_built_a_tree]

Then again, their albums have been full of filler and crap all the way back since Covenant...

[ShredHead396]

^ Your reffering to the instrumentals? if so, i actually kinda liked those, especially Dreaming off of Domination, though a lot of the material on Covenant didn't impress me full stop

Most legendary DM album my ass :shrug:

[Riffmast]

Then again, their albums have been full of filler and crap all the way back since Covenant...

Theirs just as much filler on Blessed though if you want to call the instrumentals filler.I think that Heretic was a good time.I could agree that their was a bit to much filler, but the awesome songs like God Of Our Own Divinity make up for it.I would consider Covenant to be the second best.

[we_built_a_tree]

I should refrain from posting in this thread when Altars isn't being discussed.
:p:

[andyscoot]

^ + 1

:p:

[ShredHead396]

Lol, Altars was chaos all the way through, though i think a lot of tracks are overlooked on that album

Blasphemy
Bleed For The Devil
Damnation
Visions From The Darkside

Come to think of it, i've never even heard someone talk about an actual song off of that album, only how '' great '' the album as a whole is :shrug:

[Riffmast]

It does all flow together very well,it's a total classic.I just prefer other albums of theirs. I think my new order is F>C>G>A>AD=B>H>D

[The Wildchild]

[Cianyx]

Overlooked? Man, Blasphemy is one of the most memorable tracks on that album. Most memorable would be Maze of Torment

[we_built_a_tree]

huhTake a closer look. It says "AD", which means Abominations of Desolation, not Domination. He put the real D in last place, and that's where it's staying.

[Stranglehold]

Bleed for The Devil is one of the best tracks on Altars. Pure rot.

[The Wildchild]

[Riffmast]

To be fair,if im still lurking around in ten years then my list will probs change. When i was 14 or so my list would of been D>G>H>C>F>B>A>AD or something like that.I also thought Behemoth was an awesome band back then :haha:

[TrustMeWhenISay]

Chapel of Ghouls and Immortal Rites are their best songs....Heretic and Domination are the only albums I dont really care for.

AoM is obviously their best.

prolly my fav band at the moment

[Dotpunker89]

ALTARS OF MADNESS :headbang: Listening to it right now really great album been a while since I have listened to some death metal, and lately I found my self in a death metal mood, so what better than Morbid Angel.

[Belizibub]

ALTARS OF MADNESS :headbang: Listening to it right now really great album been a while since I have listened to some death metal, and lately I found my self in a death metal mood, so what better than Morbid Angel.

Nile.... : D, no in honesty Morbid Angel are truly masters, and AoM is a immense album although i really liked there new album, for some strange reason ?, i thought Cleansed in pestilence(Blade of elohim) was really catchy and just struck a chord with me, but for me Lord of all fevers and plague is there all time bessstessttt song, Rapture and Immortal rites comes close however.

[MightyAri]

Here's a pretty good quality recording of Nevermore

http://www.mediafire.com/?dtttkmz0ngi

[Riffmast]

That actually sounded pretty sweet,David's vocals could of been better but the music is still solid Morbid Angel.That solo sounded wicked,this sounds kind of like Heretic meets Domination to me.

[piratemetalhead]

Havent listened to these guys in a while, though I had the riffing from "The Lion's Den" stuck in my head...

[Riffmast]

That song is a really good time i will admit.

[elatihc]

I normally stick to clean vocals (though I do like some growling when it fits the music) and listen mostly to thrash/prog/heavy metal but recently have been really digging (sort of rediscovering it) some old school death metal and Morbid Angel is obviously at the top of that heap for me.

[sg_man08]

I have been listening to the Abominations of Desolation album a lot recently, it's a lot filthier than their other work

[Riffmast]

i've heard on Opening of the Gates, someone sped up the drums



my fav is Formulas Fatal To The Flesh, best lullabies for rolling yourself to sleep.
good rhythm + mind altering solos.

Domination is just good straight up death metal.

meh i don't believe that. Bands are doing it theese days, when it comes to speed and technicality all it takes is practice.It's not like you have to be a genius to be able to play fast double bass.

[Steve08]

Yeah, that's utter tripe. I doubt any Morbid Angel double bass groove goes faster than like, 16ths at 240-250 anyway, which is a fairly common speed these days really.Is it true Pete didn't use a real drumkit on Gateways? I mean that double bass is unreal.What do you mean by "real drumkit"? Even an electric one still requires physical ability to play even if they don't sound overly good most of the time.

[Riffmast]

Well Opening of the Gates is 270-280.But their are bands who flirt with that speed on a triggered kit.And Pete was the original master of blasterbation and double kick.

[Cheeselord]

George Kollias doesn't use triggers.

Anyway, I only have Altars, what should I get Next?

[Riffmast]

really? never knew that.Not even in studio?

I would say go for Abominations, Blessed Then Covenant and then go for Formulas and Gateways.Then the other two.Most people like the first 4 best. But their Steve Tucker era is great.

[Cheeselord]

Nope, he's pretty amazing.

Thanks for the recs, I'll pick them up over the weekend.

[Steve08]

George Kollias doesn't use triggers.Source? His bass drum always sounded clicky as hell to me.

[Cheeselord]

When I saw them live he played flawlessly :shrug:

[Steve08]

He probably did, but all triggers do is reproduce a single sample of a hit no matter how hard or soft a drum is struck, it's not really a question of whether or not the drummer in question is good (his feet are flawless), it's just common to help it stick out more in a recording and also because it's easier to EQ live and stuff. A lot of the time a trigger is just on the bass drum though.

[Cheeselord]

Well, I don't know much about drums so I guess that's a possibility.

[Belizibub]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMGqhYVwOJA. he does use triggers.

[Stranglehold]

George Kollias doesn't use triggers.

Anyway, I only have Altars, what should I get Next?


Kollias uses triggers both live and in studio. The drums on Gateways were indeed modified, same with Angelcorpse - Exterminate.

[webbtje]

George Kollias doesn't use triggers.


Bollocks. He uses them as otherwise 16ths at 280 sounds like a massive rumble, which sounds like shit and is a pain in the arse for the guitars to try and keep time with.

[arabito]

Yeah almost every drummer at least blends their mic sound with a trigger for bass drums. If I remember correctly, I saw Dragonforce a few years ago and the drummer didn't have triggers on his bass drums. It sounded like totally nasty, especially compared with all of the other bands who had very clear and defined bass drum sounds. Dunno if he always plays like that, but it definitely wasn't nice on the ears in a large concert hall.

What do you think the next MA album with be called? I'm ready for Igloo Debauchery personally. You can't make the letter I more evil sounding than that.

[we_built_a_tree]

I'd rather they just gave up on this whole "new album" business.

[progbass]

Exactly. They can't top Alters. No one can.

And truth be said, there is evident decline in the recent works, any abortion they push on us will reek of mediocricy methinks

[Riffmast]

Bollocks. He uses them as otherwise 16ths at 280 sounds like a massive rumble, which sounds like shit and is a pain in the arse for the guitars to try and keep time with.

I love rumbly kick drums,Covanent by Morbid Angel is a great example of an acoustic kit that sounds great.Also you can use triggers so that their sensitive to the different dynamics of a drummer hitting them.It's the same with electronic kit,my drummer has one and he can still get a human dynamic out of them(they sound slightly different the harder or softer you hit them).But you can never fully reproduce the real thing.

Also i think new MA will be Decent, Domination was a decline and then the next three were just as good as the original three.This will defs be my least fave along with D though just because of Vincents lame vocals.

Edit:Oh and tons of drummers use no triggers,its just more so in brutal/technical death metal and more of the popularized stuff that its the standard.

[Senor Kristian]

I rather enjoy Formulas and Gateways but I wouldn't put them on the same stool as their first three.

And I am yet to get into Heretic

[mr kipling]

Heretic is worse than Domination IMO.

[severed-metal]

Blessed Are The Sick. The only MA album I own for a reason.


Not because I just couldn't find the others.

[Riffmast]

Heretic is worse than Domination IMO.

But Heretic had wonderfully sick and evil riffs like the early material.I admit theirs a bit too much filler,but the first five tracks are killer.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Man, Where The Slime Live would be so much more badass without those vocal effects...

[valdean]

Blessed Are The Sick. The only MA album I own for a reason.


Not because I just couldn't find the others.

I'd say that Altars is just as worthy.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Yeah I second that.

[piratemetalhead]

honestly, on gateways, it sounded to me like trey just recorded any riff he thought of :p:

I thought that Blessed really established their style, and Covenent had some killer tracks as well

[DragTheWaters11]

Morbid Angel is great, but don't like Covenant as much as Altars of Madness. Covenant just sounds too much like the "Autopsy" sounding side of death metal, which I despise. Altars has a more clear, thrashy sound imo.

[DragTheWaters11]

George Kollias doesn't use triggers.
Yes, he does. The purpose of a trigger is to make each hit as loud as possible without expending much energy. It's the only way he can double-bass as fast as, lets say, the chorus to, As He Creates So He Destroys, without it sounding muddy and choppy and just plain shitty.

[Steve08]

It's the only way he can double-bass as fast as, lets say, the chorus to, As He Creates So He Destroys, without it sounding muddy and choppy and just plain shitty.No it's not, it's to reproduce a single hit no matter how hard or soft a drum is struck... which can be advantageous in live or recording situations. Most drummers don't purposely use them to "cheat" which is the situation you describe.

Saying a bass drum sounds muddy/undefined/etc. at really fast tempos if it isn't triggered is incorrect though, I got a tight as hell bass drum sound for my friend's band, just takes effort (and the material in question had plenty of 16th notes at around the 250 mark).

That's exactly as I described, just reworded.

Yes, it does take effort. A.K.A. -> Expending energy. The reason most people don't double bass at that pace during live performances is because you have to CONSTANTLY hit the bass pedal and produce even sounding hits each time. Less experienced/talented drummers show this in pure form (Lars Ulrich c. 2006) when their drums sound like "popcorn" (listen to the live drum performances) when they try to double bass fast because they aren't evenly hitting the bass drum.

EVEN THOUGH, Lars isn't double bassing that fast; he still can't reproduce that many loud hits within the tempo because of lack of balance. More talented drummers can do this with no problem, at that tempo, but someone like George Kollias, and virtually every drummer out there, can't do it easily at 280 BPM+ without expending an ENORMOUS amount of energy. That's why triggers are often used, because it makes the bass drum sound even throughout, no matter how hard you hit. A.K.A -> You can double bass in rhythm as fast as your little feet can go.

Thanks for the long "+1" comment, even though you thought you were disagreeing.

[Riffmast]

Morbid Angel is great, but don't like Covenant as much as Altars of Madness. Covenant just sounds too much like the "Autopsy" sounding side of death metal, which I despise. Altars has a more clear, thrashy sound imo.

Ah i prefer the heavy and filthy death metal sound, also the natural production compared to the over produced Scott Burns sound makes me like C the best out of the first three.I only like cross over thrash for the most part so that could be part as well.

Triggers can have dynamics and be set to reproduce hitting the drum harder or softer although it is a synthetic or sampled sound,that's something you all must learn.You can set it so a little tap will be a huge thud(sadly it sounds more like 10 tons type writer most of the time in modern dm) but it's not necessary.Old school Cryptopsy had an organic drum tone and Flo was still going crazy on the blasts and double kick.

[Dylar]

The problem with Covenant isn't production or triggers (or the lack thereof), the problem with Covenant is that it reduces the range of sounds and styles found on the first two Morbid Angel albums to a stripped down formula for popular consumption.

[Riffmast]

Atually its pretty much the opposite.Blessed was a bit more experimental,but there is way more going on in terms in musical variation in Covenant and not one standardized song structure.In fact the song structures are pretty much the same as Altars(Altars being a bit more straightforward ,though a few of the riffs are the most clever they've ever done but they're few and far between),the only real difference is that with the slower crushing riffs and 7 string guitars came more hooks and a sound based more on heaviness then being frantic .This is the "stripped down formula" your talking about.

[Dylar]

Covenant reduces almost every song to the contrast between the fast tremolo picked riffs, and the slow, serpentine style first introduced on "Fall From Grace." Once you've absorbed that contrast, it really has nothing left to offer. There is almost no variation from this formula, and, to a greater or lesser degree, this is the principle which has dominated every subsequent album the band has released. The first two albums helped to define death metal in its mature form, the later material is superfluous to a varying extent.

[Riffmast]

And yet they'res still thrashy riffs left,songs with no tremelo picking.Songs taken from before Altars that have a similar style,tons of variation on tempo(its not as if they only choose two different tempos and basic riff style.).The slower riff in World Of Shit really doesn't sound much like the riffs on God Of Emptiness. They also have an instrumental,songs that stay at same constant fast pace(just like in Altars)hmmm sounds like you just don't know what your talking about. The first two are great,but the problem with allot of Metalheads is that once a band gains some popularity they assume it's because they've simplified and sold out so to say.In reality Covanent was just an excellent album, hence the success within the Metal Community.

[Dylar]

You're elevating the 10% and ignoring the 90%. The vast bulk of Covenant is pure formula: the rest consists of exceptions that prove the rule.

[piratemetalhead]

I personally thought Altars was their most "straight forward' style of metal :S

[mr kipling]

It's basically verse-chorus-verse at its heart. Still a great album though.

[Riffmast]

You're elevating the 10% and ignoring the 90%. The vast bulk of Covenant is pure formula: the rest consists of exceptions that prove the rule.

That 90% only exists in your head and the Anus review you based your opinion off of though.It's a very well rounded album,i could bitch about how Altars is very monotonous and single minded in delivery minus a few of the songs,but it's still a great album.

[piratemetalhead]

Theres a lot of similar riffs in altars that repeat, but since MA were one of the first bands to bust out death metal riffing, I think they`re entitled to rehash riffs every now and then :p:

and i already said this in the last page, but "the lions den" is one of ma's shining moments for me; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uznAtrpCwT0

[Riffmast]

Well its not like it gets boring when they do,Trey just writes fantastic Riffs.The Lions Den is great!

[piratemetalhead]

Yeah, modern death metal would honestly be much more entertaining with more albums like MA`s first few

[Dylar]

That 90% only exists in your head and the Anus review you based your opinion off of though.It's a very well rounded album,i could bitch about how Altars is very monotonous and single minded in delivery minus a few of the songs,but it's still a great album.

You mean this highly positive review (http://www.anus.com/metal/morbid_angel/#covenant)?

You really should you know, actually read shit before making presumptions about it.

[Riffmast]

Ah ok, my bad.I suppose the way you word things that just sounds like every anus reviewer is what got me assuming that.Definitely gives me some hope for Anus members after reading that review.Regardless,calling Covenant any more formulaic then Altars is pretty stupid.

[Dylar]

There's a lot more diversity in terms of riff and rhythm patterns on Altars of Madness. On the surface, Covenant seems more structurally diverse, but only because they've replaced more traditional elements of structure with a "structure" of repetitive contrast.

[linfield4466]

Mmmmm, do I love me some Altars. Was my first oldschool death metal album, and still one of my favorites, or my absolute favorite. Not counting At the Gates.

[Steve08]

That's exactly as I described, just reworded.Not really, you're acting as if triggers are something to use as a performance enhancer (steroids lololol) when there's only one point in using them-- to have a pre-packaged bass drum sound. For example, if drummer X is on tour and shows up at a sketchy venue with a sound guy who doesn't know how to properly gate, mic or compress a bass drum for metal, it makes it much easier to give him a kick tone he can't screw up so that the band in question doesn't lose a massive part of their sound. And in recording, they're generally used to make a bass drum stand out more in really fast sections or blasting (even though the end result usually sounds like a bass drum with a paper head with a cardboard shell). While some people who trigger are lazy and don't have powerful hits, it's far from the norm because mistakes stand out even more. There are also people who have powerful bass drum strokes and have a triggered bass drum like Sandoval or Shannon Lucas from The Black Dahlia Murder, and then people who also have powerful hits without any sort of triggers like Seth Davis or Jon Karel. All of them play really fast double bass.

Yes, it does take effort. A.K.A. -> Expending energy. The reason most people don't double bass at that pace during live performances is because you have to CONSTANTLY hit the bass pedal and produce even sounding hits each time. Less experienced/talented drummers show this in pure form (Lars Ulrich c. 2006) when their drums sound like "popcorn" (listen to the live drum performances) when they try to double bass fast because they aren't evenly hitting the bass drum.You misread what I said, the "effort" I referred to in my original post was was about being able to get a tight, clear sound out of a bass drum before the drummer even sits behind the kit (without triggering), which isn't easy but is totally doable. I should know, I did such a set up at my buddy's studio last week because the drummer in question (who had VERY powerful strokes even at high tempo) does not use triggers.

Regardless, there are very few drummers who reach speeds of 16ths past 260 regularly, in fact there are only two performances I can think of that fit such criteria (Orbital Elements by Obscura and The Chosen Legacy by Dimmu Borgir), and even so, if they're going to be playing at that tempo they probably slaved away with a metronome to get as much speed and endurance as possible. There's not a drummer in the world who plays something really fast and then goes "aw shit, let me take a break to rest, I'm exhausted!" or else they wouldn't be touring. Most professional metal drummers can maintain 16ths at 220-240 for a long time without pussy-footing it, primarily because nobody practices their double bass with triggers, so a burst at a significantly higher tempo wouldn't be much of a problem. You're blowing smoke, man.

EVEN THOUGH, Lars isn't double bassing that fast; he still can't reproduce that many loud hits within the tempo because of lack of balance. More talented drummers can do this with no problem, at that tempo, but someone like George Kollias, and virtually every drummer out there, can't do it easily at 280 BPM+ without expending an ENORMOUS amount of energy. That's why triggers are often used, because it makes the bass drum sound even throughout, no matter how hard you hit. A.K.A -> You can double bass in rhythm as fast as your little feet can go.Most drummers who can play at tempos like that, as I stated, have practiced endlessly to a metronome to get their chops at a level sufficient enough to play the material at hand. Again, practice is NEVER triggered, so even if you were right (you're not) there wouldn't be any point in doing such a thing anyway. Besides, double bass at any tempo past around 250 at most is pretty much never held for anything longer than like, 20-30 seconds at most. Maybe Kollias does so, but I don't really care because I don't listen to Nile that much and he's fairly overrated as it is.

Thanks for the long "+1" comment, even though you thought you were disagreeing.Close, but no cigar. I feel as though I've trashed your argument enough to brook no contrary opinions but if you think I'm wrong, feel free to try again, I guess.

[Riffmast]

There's a lot more diversity in terms of riff and rhythm patterns on Altars of Madness. On the surface, Covenant seems more structurally diverse, but only because they've replaced more traditional elements of structure with a "structure" of repetitive contrast.

So because they use riffs that actually sound different, rather then the same ideas over and over again with less significant variation you find it formulaic?.It's not really repetitive contrast since theres so many different styles of riffs that show up on the album.Your complaint is basically that rather then adding musical contrast scarcely they use it constantly to keep the songs well rounded.Altars was only diverse in the sense that they added different tails on the same riffs and would occasionally throw in a different style of riff that was'nt a standard death/thrash riff(albeit will written though,Altars gets its praise for a reason),but this is something that is constant throughout all the albums.

I agree that the first two Morbid Angel albums are excellent,but people just can't accept stylistic changes even if it's for the better it seems.Also Altars and Blessed had allot in the production to be desired.

[slayerific]

So I just stumbled upon this demo from 1985 and it may very well be Morbid Angel's most (unintentionally) strange recording.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZ25-IHWG8

I'm about 95% sure its real because the background vocals sound like Trey, and the solos sound like they're done in Trey's style.

[piratemetalhead]

thank god ma didnt continue with that vocal style :haha

[andyscoot]

:haha Sounds like Beaker from the Muppets!

[Dotpunker89]

Morbid Angel ownz.

that's all.

[Kepulix]

What the hell are you guys on about? That was brilliant!


Like a more chaotic version of Cirith Ungol :haha
But of course none of you cretins appreciate the majesty of such records as King Of The Dead and One Foot In Hell either

[The Wildchild]

I thought it was miles better than all their stuff.

[sg_man08]

yeah it was pretty cool, but I'll take Abominations of Desolation instead

[Dotpunker89]

Abominations of Desolationis one of the best "demo" recording I eve listened to.

Morbid Angel is so damn awesome I actually enjoy ALL of their albums, but my all time favorite will always be Altars of Madness.

[MightyAri]

Tim Yeung tracking drums for Morbid Angel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwCzO4_6588)

[ManicRepression]

I like Morbid Angel. Can't say I love them, as they have released just as much bad stuff as they have good.

First 3 albums are still great.

[Steve08]

Cymbal hits sound like bubble wrap popping :haha:

Cool though, eager to hearing a full sample.

[Cheeselord]

That sounded like shit.

[Riffmast]

Hopefully Pete will be back eventually.I have a feeling that this album will be the new Domination.A bit of a dud but still not bad,then like last time they released an album that was'nt wicked, they'll make three more awesome MA albums.

[Steve08]

Also, Yeung needs to learn some new fills, there were probably about three or four different ones in that entire video :/

[Dotpunker89]

I miss Pete already. =[

[we_built_a_tree]

I miss the Altars days, but hey, we all have to manage, right?

[sg_man08]

I miss the demo days, MA's best songs were written between 1984-1989

[Dotpunker89]

I miss the garage pre-demo days. Now those were the days.

[piratemetalhead]

I miss sandoval playing make believe drums with his pencils

and when trey didnt do shit but smoke crack

[beadhangingOne]

florida death metal never seems to have a lifespan longer than 2-3 albums of awesomeness, before dying a slow and painful death.

[onimacaroni]

Dont judge the tune by the vid of the drummer playing cos we all know that drums on its own always sounds gay.

Same time tho, cant make a morbid angel album without that wee junkie pete, think a big part of morbid angel was HOW he played the drums, sure tim yeung can be rapid and very precise but guitar pro drums can be too!

[illuminatiano]

Tim "The Missile" Yeung (Divine Heresy, ex-All That Remains, Nile, Hate Eternal, Vital Remains) is finally getting the notoriety he so greatly deserves upon landing a very coveted gig tracking drums on the much anticipated new Morbid Angel album.

Yeung checks in with the following report: "Hey everybody. I haven't posted an update in awhile so I thought that I should share with everyone what I’ve been up to lately. As many of you know, I have been working with Morbid Angel for the past 10 months (Pete Sandoval is recovering from a recent back operation). I must say that it has been a huge honor to be playing for one of my favorite bands that I grew up listening to as well as filling in for one of my biggest metal drumming inspirations. I’m currently in Tampa, FL finishing up the new album with David (vocals, bass) and Trey (guitars) and it’s going great. Overall, I think it may be one of their most well rounded albums ever. There are killer experimental electronic parts, as well as some really cool groove parts. Don't worry there is plenty of blast beats and blazing double bass as well.

"I've also been working on a Ddrum signature snare which will be out early next year. It's a 14x6.5, steel shell, flanged hoops, USA tube lugs, etc. This drum is absolutely perfect. I’ve been beating on the prototype and I'm in love with it. I also have been working with 3rd Degree merch on a Tim Yeung package which includes a T-shirt, my personal sticks and an autographed poster.

oh wow

[Stranglehold]

That Yeung lad seems like a bit of a ponce. Hopefully hes just talking about Instrumentals or something. I listened to 'Bleed For The Devil' walking the dog today, and Im almost sure my dog was headbanging with me.

[illuminatiano]

but oh wait !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x1Ddg4_T18&feature=player_embedded

Pete is back !

[Riffmast]

This year has just staretd to show some major promise.

[illuminatiano]

I don't think so, Yeud did all the drums on the record already it seems :(

[Riffmast]

Thats what the delete button is for.

[illuminatiano]

either way, I can't wait to hear the amazing original experimental electronic morbid angel pulls out LOL

[ctfod]

It's been 8 years since Heretic, I'm sure they wouldn't mind delaying it a bit to include Pete.

[we_built_a_tree]

I really don't expect to enjoy anything besides the odd solo here or there. So far, there's about zero chance Morbid Angel will ever make a song (or album, for that matter) that will keep me interested all the way through... oh well, this dog has had its day.
Speaking of dogs...

That Yeung lad seems like a bit of a ponce. Hopefully hes just talking about Instrumentals or something. I listened to 'Bleed For The Devil' walking the dog today, and Im almost sure my dog was headbanging with me.:haha

[Riffmast]

Like as in ever? Or recently?

[we_built_a_tree]

Oh, I forgot to slip an "again" in there. Don't like anything post Blessed, don't actually ENJOY anything after Altars... I suppose I should finally give the demos a listen, don't know why I've always shied away from them. Perhaps because I'm expecting a similar disappointment as with Master.

[piratemetalhead]

morbid angel will be next hottest dance/ house sensation

[Riffmast]

I'll actually kill Trey if he turns Morbid Angel into house music.

[jibran]

It'll be the best thing in the world, then they can tour with Air and Daft Punk. And classic MA classic such as Maze of Torment will be given electronica makeovers.

[Riffmast]

Daft Punk are'nt bad, MA electronic makeovers have already been done anyways so **** that.

morbid angel ft.afro jack 2011 club mixxx

this almost sounds like a slowed down coked-up trey solo; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkSZDWkRob0

[Riffmast]

Man,i dig some electronica.But that dude has horrible phrasing.

[piratemetalhead]

almost all of afrojack's beats are made of weird random chromatic lines :haha

[Riffmast]

They were'nt really that chromatic, allot of it was just really typical scalar stuff that did'nt really work, imo ( in that song at least).Don't mind me,i find most dj's have a terrible melodic ideas.

[jibran]

then you wont enjoy trey's new raunchy alter ego

http://yepwecan.co.uk/uploads/2010/03/rusko-dubstep1.jpg

tbh, i've actually been listening to electro/dance (mostly dubstep and house) and hip hop way more than metal recently, sides the gorguts discovery a few weeks ago :p:

i guess i just havent been finding that metal "mood" lately... maybe morbid angel's new one will combine my love for dance music and metal. Like brokencyde did.

/trollface

[Riffmast]

ughhh lol

Ehh extreme metal is something that i don't go a week without.It's just embedded in my life,can't go without it.Though I have been bingeing on stuff like Dead Can Dance and later Swans recently. I can't handle dance music,it just annoys me with a few exceptions.

[piratemetalhead]

i still love playing and writing metal, and i dont think ive ever disliked metal in my life (ive liked it even when i was a little kid, even in the era of "shock rock round II" bands trying to top each other by being more and more visually retarded)

i guess just living in a super sterile suburban environment just kind of slowly seems more and more of an "unmetal" place :haha

[Riffmast]

Thats what i like about Metal though,because it's the antithesis to everything around me and it gives me hope that not everyone else in the world is a hedonistic,selfish,dumb ass.I love the elitism and the dedication that comes through with extreme metal, because it shows a group of people who actually care about something beyond popularity,intoxication,sex and money.

[MightyAri]

if they have that hardcore doof shit on the album they will lose even more fans

id hate it

[Riffmast]

If Trey wants to do that i think it's fine, but it should'nt be a part of Morbid Angel. The ancient ones do not approve of hardstyle.

[romencer17]

I'm gonna laugh if the album comes out and the first track starts off with nothing but "wob wob wob wob" :haha:

[Riffmast]

Man i would be so angry lol

[romencer17]

i have to confess i was super stoned at my friends house the other day and actually enjoyed listening to a some dubstep on his nice ass speakers, but it wasn't shitty wob wob wob but some weird dubstep remixes of reggae, that's prolly why it actually appealed to me.

[piratemetalhead]

im pretty sure dubstep kinda originated off reggae, then took a lot of dnb influences and even hip hop influences, which then went on to become the subwoofer raping druggie music you see today

i think trey just did a bunch of coke one night and rolled with some hard dubstep

[Riffmast]

Drugs definately help,my thing is that while being intoxicated makes shitty music better,then i put on Archgoat or something and just get blown away with my jaw on the floor.I know trey is'nt into dubstep, when i found his youtube thing he had all theese links to hardstyle dj's and such.

[piratemetalhead]

i think hardstyle's way less original than dubstep (not to be a hater, but most hardstyle songs sound to me like they have the exact same structure and celtic folk music lines)

almost all the hardstyle fans i know love ecstasy so i guess treys been clubbin?

[Riffmast]

Yeah hardstyle is pretty terrible i won't lie,i assume Trey is just so warped from drugs that he just loves anything thats trippy sounding to him now.

[we_built_a_tree]

Good electronica > modern MA.

Obviously Trey never quite got the hang of how to do it properly, though.

[Riffmast]

Other than Beherit's Electric Doom Synthesis, i can't think of any other electronica that is better than anything Morbid Angel has put out.

[Deplorable]

dude... thats going into my sig...if sigs could be longer than 250 words

[Riffmast]

Well thanks guys, that extends to Punks as well actually.And naw not yet,it'll probably get aborted.

[VampireGoldfish]

All the punks I have ever known growing up have all been 100% about intoxication and sex.

[romencer17]

Wait I hope we're not saying that it's bad to be a fan of sex and intoxication hehe

[Riffmast]

Well i'm thinking of the Crusties,not the street punks.And your always gunna find a few scumbags in every subculture,but i find Metal and Punk attracts the least ammount of deuchebags, and a few extreme deuchebags that make the whole subculture look back.

Wait I hope we're not saying that it's bad to be a fan of sex and intoxication hehe

No of course not,but when it's your primary function in life than you deserve to get aids and alcohol poisoning,

[rg_metal]

yeah... I can see this... I have a friend (?) who drinks a 12 pack a night and has unprotected sex with women who deserve much better than that... what a loser. He doesn't comprehend metal he said it was too loud

[romencer17]

yeah... I can see this... I have a friend (?) who drinks a 12 pack a night and has unprotected sex with women who deserve much better than that... what a loser. He doesn't comprehend metal he said it was too loud

Would I be correct to guess he's a raver? :haha:

[rg_metal]

Would I be correct to guess he's a raver? :haha:
He's a dumb ass

[piratemetalhead]

ravers take the pretty colorful tablets man :p:

and wether that guy's a loser or not depends on the quality of those girls :D

[rg_metal]

not really... I mean... anyone who drinks a 12 pack a night is a loser... I mean every night

[romencer17]

It's probably crappy beer too which only makes it more lame.

[Riffmast]

ravers take the pretty colorful tablets man :p:

and wether that guy's a loser or not depends on the quality of those girls :D

I dunno,i consider overly promiscuos guys to be just as slutty and degraded as the women.

[romencer17]

I don't respect them much but as a teenager and virgin who has pretty much no chance of losing it any time soon I would be a liar if I said i didn't wish I could be in their shoes for a day :p:

[rg_metal]

yeah 12 keystones a night... that is lame.. and not only that but he drinks alone most of the time...

[romencer17]

Keystones? :puke: I expected some crappy light beer but jesus, that's pretty much as bad as it gets. I would consider it torture to have to drink one of those, let alone 12 a night.

[Riffmast]

I don't respect them much but as a teenager and virgin who has pretty much no chance of losing it any time soon I would be a liar if I said i didn't wish I could be in their shoes for a day :p:

Well i've only had full out sex with three different girls in my life.But in all honesty,Sex in a relationship is about 10 times more enjoyable.

[rg_metal]

Well i've only had full out sex with three different girls in my life.But in all honesty,Sex in a relationship is about 10 times more enjoyable.
I would say so... I have had only two relationships that I would say I really really loved the girl I was with and I have to say... the sex is so amazing...and not only that but you can have as much sex as you want as long as you and her are together...... or she has to move to South Korea for a year :(

[Zero Substance]

Sex is something that, if someone enjoys, they should have it. I hate all the slut-shaming that gets thrown around. Have all the sex you want, just be responsible about it and consider the emotions and circumstances of the people you are having it with.

[rg_metal]

well... the reason why people are so down on sluts is because sluts are notorious for irresponsible behavior with sex. have all the sex you want, yes, but if you are irresponsible with it and completely disregard the emotions of others...chances are you are a slut

[Zero Substance]

i think a lot of the perceived "irresponsibility" present in a lot of sexual situations stems from dudes getting possessive of women they have sex with. sex isn't a binding contract unless you make it one.

[Riffmast]

If your willing to give yourself to anyone, then chances are what your giving is'nt that special.Thats how i look at it.And it goes both ways for men and women.Sex is by no means a binding contract,but yet people who have no standards to who they sleep with end up becoming emotionally damaged, and disease spreaders more times than not.

[Senor Kristian]

The thing about sluts, is I here lot of talks about them, how people know people who jump anyone.

Where are they at? I never run into any... I could go for a hot slut once in a while.

Alcohol-intoxication and sex is a lousy combination though.

Sjælland :p:

Most of the scene girls are huge sluts actually

[rg_metal]

^ you aren't lying

[rg_metal]

Since we are in the Morbid Angel thread I wonder what Trey Azagthoth thinks about sluts

[illuminatiano]

It really doesn't hurt to get your dick wet sometimes you introvert homochumps

[Stranglehold]

He probably drinks chocolate milk instead of thinking impure thoughts.

[rg_metal]

sluts are false

[Stranglehold]

Weve gone from electronica, to crusties having sex, to people not having sex. Can we get back on topic and discuss the greatest metal band of all time please? Cheers.

[ctfod]

Jeepers creepers.... that drummer...

My cousin told me the same thing actually... I will have to judge for myself when I move to Copenhagen.

The Rock is filled with sluts you barely have to talk to before they'll blow you :p:

uuuh, Morbid Angel? What's that?

[Senor Kristian]

Well, there were only around 50 people the one time I've been there. Very few were women.

[destroy_techno]

Well, there were only around 50 people the one time I've been there. Very few were women.
Depends on the night of course.. If a bands playing they probably don't bother showing up unless it's a shit band, but nights with cheap alcohol and such they usually swarm the place.. Generally a boring place otherwise though

also, on Morbid Angel.. I really doubt the new album will impress, but one can always hope..

[we_built_a_tree]

=\About sums it up, yeah.

[beadhangingOne]

also, on Morbid Angel.. I really doubt the new album will impress, but one can always hope..

Meh, I wouldn't bother. I don't think anyone honestly believes it will be at Altars/Blessed/Covenant levels of awesomeness.

[piratemetalhead]

I don't respect them much but as a teenager and virgin who has pretty much no chance of losing it any time soon I would be a liar if I said i didn't wish I could be in their shoes for a day :p:

ahem *raises hand* :[

I wouldnt mind being a manslut at all, not an alcoholic though :haha

[Riffmast]

It really doesn't hurt to get your dick wet sometimes you introvert homochumps

I agree,but that was not at all what i'm talking about. A random hook up or two never hurt anyone,when it's a weekly occurance then something is wrong there imo.Anyways, new Morbid Angel album will probabaly be decent,the main thing i'm worried about is'nt so much the songs themselves but Vincents vocals and Yeungs drumming on top of them.

[fumb duck]

leaked:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSvFPWdPkaA

[Riffmast]

If i was on 10 hits of Acid that would of been awesome.

[ctfod]

If you're going to troll, put some enthusiasm into it

[Eidos]

After years of failure. Morbid Angel has finally clicked for me. Im really likeing Covenant. What albums should be next? I also have alters of madness.

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Blessed Are The Sick is awesome as well...I'm not too familiar with F or H but D and G are very boring to me.

[Riffmast]

Check out C, skip d and then listen to f,then g, and then h and then D if you feel like it.

b is the best though with F,C and A not too far behind it. G and H are solid releases as well.

[MightyAri]

No of course not,but when it's your primary function in life than you deserve to get aids and alcohol poisoning,

I have a friend (?) who drinks a 12 pack a night and has unprotected sex with women who deserve much better than that... what a loser.

you guys must be so much fun to hang out with!

[Riffmast]

Did you know that the word fun originated from the style of torture used by bandits in the old west,the kind were they would shoot at your feet and make you dance. I do not partake in such activities.

[MightyAri]

By your logic you deserve to have your fingers chopped off for playing guitar alot.

[jibran]

http://www.word-origins.com/definition/fun.html
:shrug:

Hahaha.

[beadhangingOne]

Altars of Madness is god's greatest gift to death metal. Astounding album.

[rg_metal]

Yeah I believe that is probably their best one, that and Blessed are the Sick

[Riffmast]

By your logic you deserve to have your fingers chopped off for playing guitar alot.


No ,because playing guitar is actually doing something productive,rather than just being a disease spreader, and wasteing your potential by sitting around being constantly intoxicated.People who base their life on thoose things have so little to contribute to society that they are basically parasites.Also, your fingers falling off is not a natural consequence of guitar playing unlike thoose other things i mentioned.

[andyscoot]

Why is going out and having a good time being a Parasite? A girl I work with is pretty much like you described - gets wasted every weekend and sleeps around. But she (and the people she does it with) choose to do so. She also, like, works for a living and pays her taxes so she is contributing too.

[Stranglehold]

Haha ah andy I think he was talking more about these types:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/08/09/article-1043167-03C3FCF00000044D-145_224x379.jpg

[jibran]

I'm torn up about Blessed and Altars. I generally think Altars is better, but sometimes when my media player goes through my death metal list to Blessed, it just kicks so much arse.

[MightyAri]

Playing the guitar is doing something productive for your own mind,nothing more.Don't pretend your in a band that actually matters and contributes anything at all to society.If taxes are being payed who cares if someone chooses to get drunk?It's how they unwind.You are ignorant as hell.

[Stranglehold]

Eh...I think Andy is talking about complete alcoholic wasters, not people who get drunk a few nights a week.

[andyscoot]

The girl im on about would definately booze up everyday of the week if she didn't hate hangovers :haha

[Riffmast]

Sorry but last time i checked ,art was valuable, especially when it has something important to say about the world. Mankind would be pretty pathetic without art,it is a big part about what makes us human, whether it be music,paintings,pottery,plays etc theese things all contribute to human expression and well being.I am fine with people drinking, i get shit faced myself,but when someone has no purpose in their life beyond masking reality with substances and personal pleasure,then they really are'nt worth much(no people don't just have inherent worth because they are people,**** that pc bullshit)what we need is people, who rather than being apathetic about the world around them,and focus immediate pleasure, give a shit about whats going in the rest of the world and actually care about things beyond their little bubble.



[Why is going out and having a good time being a Parasite? A girl I work with is pretty much like you described - gets wasted every weekend and sleeps around. But she (and the people she does it with) choose to do so. She also, like, works for a living and pays her taxes so she is contributing too.


Does she have any aspirations for life beyond getting wasted and ****ing people?,then she is'nt the kind of person i'm describeing.Also the fact that she chooses to do so is not an arguement, many people make shitty,poorly thought out choices,just because they choose to do so does'nt mean it's a positive thing.Going out and having a good time is something i have no problem with, but when your whole life is just hedonism then that is a problem.

[andyscoot]

I think we had crossed wires as Strangles pointed out. I thought you were attacking those who go out and drink on the weekend and sleep with a lot of people.

[Riffmast]

Well i do dislike thoose who are promiscous(men and women alike), because it shows that they don't value themselves as they'll just give themselves to anyone with a pulse. But thats not a huge deal in compared to the people i was reffering too.Thoose people are'nt parasites, they are just people who i don't like.

[eazy-c]

I really don't see how promiscuity is such a bad thing.

Why choose not to do something you enjoy whenever you can?

[andyscoot]

I've only ever had sex with one person (my current girlfriend). But i think if you want to do that, you go ahead and do it. It's not illegal and if both parties want to - why the hell not?

[Riffmast]

Because there is allot more to life then cheap pleasure,and people should focus on actually doing something worthwhile with their life rather than just what "feels nice".The flesh is weak,and submitting yourself to be a slave of your physical desires is just as bad as any other kind of opression.Just that it's self imposed.Their are allot of negative consequences to that kind of behaviour and people tend to just not think about them and we get diseases spreading and unwanted children.I have nothing against that kind of behaviour in moderation, but when it consumes your life then i view it as a problem,just like allot of other things,

[Stranglehold]

Cause you could wind up getting brainwashed by the poon and joining Genitorturers, thats why! shudder....

[Riffmast]

R.I.P David Vincent :haha:

[sg_man08]

I agree with your points, Andy.

So when are we actually discussing Morbid Angel?

[Stranglehold]

http://www.dreadrecords.net/images/formulas_cover.jpg

When we discuss how great this art looks on a tshirt...which it most certainly does. still have no clue what it is though.

[eazy-c]

I dunno but always reminds of the bit at the start of Final Fantasy VIII where you had to fight the big dude in the fiery cave as your initiation.

[sg_man08]

It's probably some bizarre vision from Trey's mind.

[Riffmast]

It's the ancient ones, ya know, Me-gal-gal,kagur,habsu, all of Treys buddies.

[Stranglehold]

choc-mil'k-aní,m'e is in there too. Hes the oldest one of all, if I remember my Lovecraft correctly.

[piratemetalhead]

i always thought that was such a mess of an album cover, the flame monster thing looks so retarded :haha

[Riffmast]

Phh no way, that album cover rules. Morbid Angel is and will always be a tribute to the Ancient Ones.

[sg_man08]

That album cover is like looking into the realm of Nyarlathotep.

[piratemetalhead]

i've got to say blessed and gateways have the best artwork, but gateways makes me want to sleep :p:

anyways, http://www.deanguitars.com/trey_azagthoth/trey_azagthoth_2sm.jpg

does trey really have the money for a gallardo? I mean, i see some rich kid asians here with fancy sports cars and stuff, but extreme metal and high end sports cars seems so unusual, even if morbid angel were pioneers

also, anybody know if this guitar is any good?

http://www.tartareandesire.com/interviews/images/morbidangel_trey1.jpg

i love how futuristic and old school it is at the same time... trey probably plays too much quake though, never thought quake or unreal were that good!

[sg_man08]

The car's probably a lease :p:

[Riffmast]

If you don't like Unreal Tournament or Quake then you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too false.And Trey is really big into muscle cars from what i can remember, he probably has a decent day job and as SG said it's on a lease. Trey has his own server on Quake 3, he also likes Anime, best guy in all of Metal other than his love for hardstyle.

[piratemetalhead]

i thought unreal and quake were too fast, almost like your character snorted a shit ton of coke and everybody's just going nuts

trey's next gig will be playing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eNxZN3oquw) off his gaming laptop while dancing around (ok, thats kind of almost a piss take on hardstyle but...)

[Crazed Shredder]

How much money do you think Trey gets from playing with Morbid Angel?

[jibran]

i thought unreal and quake were too fast, almost like your character snorted a shit ton of coke and everybody's just going nuts

trey's next gig will be playing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eNxZN3oquw) off his gaming laptop while dancing around (ok, thats kind of almost a piss take on hardstyle but...)


I always loved Unreal and Quake, they were my kinda thing. But the game I played just as much was CS 1.6. Pretty different, but all fun.

[MoogleRancha]

All Unreal, all day

[romencer17]

Quake > Unreal

just sayin'

[MoogleRancha]

you're wrong

jus' sayin'

[Riffmast]

i thought unreal and quake were too fast, almost like your character snorted a shit ton of coke and everybody's just going nuts

trey's next gig will be playing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eNxZN3oquw) off his gaming laptop while dancing around (ok, thats kind of almost a piss take on hardstyle but...)

you can change the speed on most versions of unreal from what i remember,i agree that sometimes the default settings are stupid, but its a class game.And i seriously would'nt doubt that,the dude has done acid one too many times it seems.

[MightyAri]

new album title has been revealed

[RiffYourFaceOff]

And a single titled "Nevermore" will be out May 16. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=155065

I'm pretty excited for this one.

[Riffmast]

I'm still very skeptical, but i will save judgement till i hear the full album, Nevermore is'nt a bad song.

[MoogleRancha]

As am I.

I will force my judgment to wait until the album is released.

[frog_friend]

I just got to see morbid angel live last Saturday. The set list was good and all in all it was a great show. They played a new song as well.

[Deplorable]

Seeing them in May, should be good fun, hoping the new one is decent so the set doesn't suck arse.

[rg_metal]

I hope they go into a good direction... I am curious to hear it for sure

[P1ayingW1thF1re]

Listening to G. Not as boring as I remember it being.

[linfield4466]

Listening to Blessed for the first time. Will report back later when finished.

[MoogleRancha]

wtf

get on that shit bro





and looooooove it

[linfield4466]

I don't feel like expanding into too much detail and pedantry, but that album was ****ing perfect.

Still don't think it tops Altars though.


What.




What.

[beadhangingOne]

I don't feel like expanding into too much detail and pedantry, but that album was ****ing perfect.

Still don't think it tops Altars though.


What.




What.

Haha I think you just failed in attempting to be controversial. None of their material tops Altars, everybody knows that.

[sg_man08]

Yeah, it gies without saying. Although I'd say Abominations is the 2nd best.

[Riffmast]

The first half of Blessed is better than Altars, the second half is just as good. Covenant is also as good as Altars if not better.Whats ****ed up is that i've been listening to MA for 7 years and im just now finally listening to Abominations lol.

[sg_man08]

Wow man, get on that shit! It's definitely one of the better records that Mike Browning has played on, although the production is a little stale.

[Riffmast]

2 songs left, this is indeed a great album like i expected. The demo tape production is a bit underwhelming but it still works.

[linfield4466]

I haven't listened to Abominations either. The reason I put off these knowingly awesome albums is just that: I know they'll be awesome, and it feels good knowing that I always have something fresh and rewarding to fall back on.

But yeah, I'll get on Abominations at some point or another.

[MightyAri]

Covenant is also as good as Altars if not better.

lol

[rg_metal]

Formulas was bad ass for sure... but Altars and Blessed are my favorite

What can i say, it is, it's like Altars and Blessed rolled up together with the best Morbid Angel production job to date. I will admit though, the standout songs on Altars are better than anything save the first half of Blessed. But as a full album it is not that far ahead C.

B > A = C > Everything else

Obviously

No joke either
