Morbid Angel - Gateways To Annihilation - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Digipak. After parting ways with David Vincent in 1996, Morbid Angel's future looked unclear - but Formulas Fatal To The Flesh, the band's first album with vocalist/bassist Steve Tucker, was a stunning return to form, heralding the start of the band's celebrated second era. Taking the band's ferocious death metal sound in a more surreal, psychedelic direction, the album remains one of the most unique and adventurous in the band's discography.

Originally recorded way back in 1986 with original drummer MikeBrowning, this shelved debut album is a fascinating chance to hearAmerican death metal icons Morbid Angel in an embryonic stage, featuringfuture classics like 'Chapel Of Ghouls' and 'Lord Of All Fevers AndPlague' (titled simply 'Lord Of All Fevers' here). Browning would leavethe band shortly after recording, going on to form legendary sci-fideath metal outfit Nocturnus, whilst Morbid Angel would recruitlightning-fast percussionist Pete Sandoval for their debut album proper'Altars Of Madness', and the rest is history - but there's an undeniablyotherworldly energy captured on this rare recording that makes it amust-have for death metal die-hards.

Seventh studio album by the American death metal band, originally released in2003. Regarded as one of the metal genre's biggest and most influential bands,Morbid Angel are widely renowned as the kings of the Death Metal genre with theirrevolutionary and unapologetic sound.
