Florida-based extreme metal veterans Morbid Angel have issued the following update:
"World Management and Morbid Angel would like to announce that [May 16] was Morbid Monday with the new single, 'Nevermore', reaching #1 most downloads on Amazon.com for hard rock / metal category. The single as a remix also charted at #3."
"
We thank all the fans for helping making this happen and hope they enjoy the first offering from the new album which we are all very proud of."
"The band are in rehearsals in Tampa and are getting ready for their shows all around the world starting with Morbid Angel's first-ever show of Singapore, followed by two shows in Australia as previously reported. We would also like to announce that we have added a headline show at Tuska Festival in Helsinki, Finland to the list and will shortly announce a surprise North American show for this summer as well."
