English MA Worshipper

Hello everyone. Feels good to have an account here with fellow MA appreciaters. Been browsing this forum for about a week now because of the upcoming release of Illud Divinum Insanus, as somebody mentioned this forum on you-tube.



I first heard of Morbid angel through some reviews of Gojiras album 'From mars to Sirious'. Back then I was madly in love with these big, slow monster sounding songs that Gojira were doing on that album. About a year past and I was reminded of MA by a small article in Metal Hammer talking to Angela Gossow from Arch enemy about music that inspired her. She said 'Alters of madness'. A little after that I heard the song 'Maze of torment' on a late night show called 'Full metal racket' on the Radio station 'Kerrang'. I was blown away by the ferociousness of it and the tasteful implementation of the thrash parts and the blast parts, all the while being satisfyingly heavy and stupidly catchy to boot. I knew immediately I wasn't going to leave this band alone. I bought the album and literally all the other bands in my CD collection were rendered obsolete and I think I didn't stop listening to that album for 6 months straight.



I set about investigating this Slow, crushing sound I craved as i still very much appreciate Gojira. I stumbled upon 'Gateways to annihilation' and OMG !, the sound of this album was the reason I was BORN !. Instantly fell in love with this very different sounding Morbid Angel that has inspired many a band. From there I just collected the rest of their full lengths over time, being pleasantly satisfied by some, a little disappointed with others, but overall, the MA sound was prevalent and still has that stamp of instant quality written over them. I think It's fair to say, I am a Morbid Angel addict !, and have been for the past 4 years :bang: :bang: :bang:



I look forward to sharing my thoughts on each album in some of the topics here, and give my two cents of opinion on the Illud samples.

Are you as pessimistic as a lot of other people are about the upcoming album?

It definitely took me by surprise how much of a radical change from older material the album is. Trey has always said that his music is risky and this is a perfect example of that. It might even be so risky that it could be seen as reckless. I think he's not only broadening his own musical tastes and presenting it but also telling us to be not so narrow minded. There could even be a spiritual meaning to the album. If I recall on the Heretic booklet after trey explained the meaning of Heretic he said " whooo hoooooooo, lets have fun in this game called life" So I think Illud is a continuation of that thought process in some ways.



At first I thought Oh shit, what have they done. But then I remind myself that the samples...are just samples. There's likes at least 3 minutes left for nearly every song. So who knows how each song reveals themselves. I'm hopeful that it'll make more sense when I hear the whole thing. So I'm open minded about it (after all I love Heretic). I do think the album will either be a very bold but triumphant strategy on the bands part, or a total utter flop. As a fan of course I hope it's the former.

It takes some getting used to but they are called chili cheese fries. Different words get replaced or changed. It makes for a more interesting read. And yes they are some crazy fucking topics that get discussed and you will find some of the most passionate and dedicated Morbid Angel fans here. And, welcome board and enjoy your stay.

What did you write?

I can't remember exactly what I wrote to begin with. Something along the lines of Trey explaining the meaning of the Heretic album or whatever. When I went to submit it and I viewed it, It showed that instead. I thought someone was playing a trick on me or something, but I guess not (unless there actually was :eyes:)
