Drummer TIM YEUNG: New MORBID ANGEL CD May Be One Of Band's Most Well-Rounded Albums Ever - Sep. 15, 2010

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe ... mID=146084

Florida-based death metal veterans MORBID ANGEL entered Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida on June 22 with engineer Erik Rutan (former MORBID ANGEL guitarist and producer for such bands as CANNIBAL CORPSE, MISERY INDEX and GOATWHORE) to begin recording their ninth full-length album. Due late 2010/early 2011 via Season Of Mist, the new CD will be the band's first to be recorded without longtime drummer Pedro "Pete" Sandoval, who recently underwent back surgery for a deteriorating disc problem. Filling in for him on a temporary basis is Tim Yeung, who has previously played with DIVINE HERESY, ALL THAT REMAINS, NILE, HATE ETERNAL and VITAL REMAINS).

Commented Yeung: "I must say that it is 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, Florida finishing up the new album with David [Vincent, bass/vocals] and Trey [Azagthoth, guitar] 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. There is a limited supply so don't wait around!"

Professionally filmed video footage of MORBID ANGEL's entire June 27, 2009 performance at the Rock al Parque festival at Parque Simon Bolivar in Bogota, Colombia can be viewed at this location. A clip of the new song "Nevermore" is available below. (Note: The footage originally aired on Colombia's Canal Capital.)

MORBID ANGEL guitarist Trey Azagthoth last year spoke to Revolver magazine about the band's upcoming album, which will mark the Florida-based group's first release to feature bassist/vocalist David Vincent since 1995's "Domination".

"We played the new song 'Nevemore' on the last tour and that kind of shows where our heads are at," he said. "I'd say it's like an assemblage of all sorts of stuff from the catalog and some new influences. I listen to a lot of hardcore [techno] music now — the fuckin' serious, artistic stuff, not that crap you hear at the clubs. That stuff has impact and it's really extreme. Even if there's no guitar in it or no real drums, the energy coming out of the speakers is amazing." He added, "All I can say is, when it's ready, it's going to be extreme and outside the box. And, hopefully, the songs will inspire people to look deeper inside themselves for 'the stuff' and to tap that potential that we as human beings have."

Although MORBID ANGEL has yet to announce a title for the new CD, its name will likely begin with the letter "I", in keeping with the band's tradition of titling their albums in alphabetical order beginning with 1989's "Altars of Madness", and continuing through "Heretic".

MORBID ANGEL played its first show with new touring guitarist, ZYKLON's longtime axemeister Destructhor (a.k.a. Thor Anders Myhren), on June 22, 2008 at the Hellfest in Clisson, France.

Regarding Destructhor's addition to the band's touring lineup, Vincent said, "We had a fairly long audition process. We looked long and hard at this. We decided when we began this process that it was gonna be a unanimous decision. We had several people [apply for the job] — very good players from, really, all over the world — and we got a video from Thor — the same video that we asked from all the different players; the same two songs — and some people didn't get past the initial discussion stage, and then some people went on to the next stage and it ended up that the band unanimously felt that Thor would be the best guitarist for the band."

[quote name="Jackson"]Here is a question for all of you: Would you be happy if Trey leaves a band?[/quote]

Since Pete is technically out right now if Trey left there would be no Morbid Angel

if jackson had a better grasp of the english language, i'd guess his next post would be complaining about how we're a bunch of fascists. unfortunately his grasp is kind of tenuous, so he'll probably just reply with another gaping vagina signature

Does 'well-rounded' mean something like: 'diverse' or 'really finished' or something else...?

maybe it's tims way of saying it's great because he's on it

I cant wait to hear Tim rip it up on this. He's been given the most enviable opportunity a death metal drummer could be afforded and i know he's going to really go for it.

zim · Post by **zim** » 26 Sep 2010, 12:49

I agree, all I can say is he better destroy on this album or else he shall be excommunicated!

Spirits of the Deep Waters · 26 Sep 2010, 16:41

I hope the album will come in diffrent editions

Shredlord · Post by **Shredlord** » 26 Sep 2010, 22:30

For the opening track, what do you think:

1) Face-ripping with tons of blastbeat? (ala "This Means War")

2) Slow, sludgy song like "Summoning Redemption"?

3) One of those worrisome electronic bits?

I'm counting on #1--no bullshit intro/build up--the entire band just rips into it like we've never heard before! (possibly some super-fast ripping drums first)

Anjel · Post by **Anjel** » 26 Sep 2010, 23:44

I want a super-fast blasty record, like a Formulas #2.

Probably won't happen though.

#1 No doubt.

After so long, they should kick it off with a shredder.

As always: Immortal Rites, Fall from Grace, Rapture etc..

I think you can pretty much bet on this. MA usually alternate between Blasty/doomy records, but it's been so long that i think every side of MA will be on show, but in a new light.

If they have recorded slow tracks hopefully they are alittle more like GOE than WTSL ect.
