MORBID ANGEL Remix Album Due Next Year - Oct. 29, 2011



<!-- m -->http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe ... mID=165373<!-- m -->



Alexandre Locher (also known as Xytras or Xy) of Swiss industrial black metallers SAMAEL has just remixed the song "Existo Vulgor" for the MORBID ANGEL remix album, due to be released early next year via Season Of Mist.



MORBID ANGEL's latest album, "Illud Divinum Insanus", sold around 3,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 141. The effort marks MORBID ANGEL's first CD to feature bassist/vocalist David Vincent since 1995's "Domination".



MORBID ANGEL's previous album, "Heretic", opened with around 3,900 units back in October 2003. That CD has shifted more than 30,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.



"Illud Divinum Insanus" was released on June 7 (one day earlier internationally) via Season of Mist. The cover artwork was designed by Gustavo Sazes.



When asked in a recent interview with Finland's Kaaos TV how the material from "Illud Divinum Insanus", has been going over live, David Vincent said, "[The fans] love it live. A few people, maybe some of the songs on the record are a bit too extreme for them, but by and large it's a great record. It's doing really well. A lot of excitement. We're happy to play all these songs live. Obviously, [in] the set we also include a lot of the other classics. This way everyone will have a chance to hear a lot of the different songs that they wanna hear."



Regarding whether he and his bandmates expected to get such a mixed reaction to "Illud Divinum Insanus" during the making of the CD, Vincent said, "Well, the only thing we do is make music and we're creative. We don't think about these things so much. We do what we do. My work is done, other than we perform. But the studio is done. We made a record that broke down a lot of boundaries and included some stuff that was never included before. But we've always done these kind of things. It should be no surprise to anyone that we always do crazy things, 'cause we crazy."

Samael is one of my favourite bands. It's sad that I want to buy this album because I like Samael, not because it's new Morbid Angel

Meh.

I am not gonna lie. I'll probably buy it because of sentimental reasons.

This band is lazy as fuck! Making an effortless album, insulting your back catalogue is one thing, rehashing this shit and releasing this is another new low. I hope bad sales will wake them up.

Trey said they were planning to do something like this in the I.llud interviews. I wonder who else gets to work on their stuff.

Tiesto, Skrillex, Deadmau5, David Guetta

well, it couldn't possibly be worse than the actual album right? right?

::::::::::::::;;;

I must admit, I'm a bit curious to hear what they'll do to the songs. The combichrist remix was pretty tame but it was still more interesting than the original.

I think you can expect Too extreme with hardcore sounding beats. I expect a Remanufacture with gothic/new wave influences.



I fear that, in it's own regard, it might even turn out better then the original album.

wouldn't it be funny if this had a better reception and/or sales than illud?

If I remember correctly, he also said, there is some NEW songs wich they plan to release late -11 or early -12.

...and sure I will buy the remix album, because it´s Morbid Angel

better sales seems pretty much impossible, but i could definitely imagine the reception will be more kind. hard to get worse than the original in that department really

Yeah, I agree, Tom. That's the behavior that allowed I.llud to happen in the first place.

MA is really special band for me and I will give an opportunity for all of their releases, doesn´t mean that I like them all.

Now that's a more intelligent answer.

MORBID ANGEL 'Illud' Remix Album: More Details Revealed - Nov. 8, 2011



On February 24, 2012 (February 28 in North America), Season of Mist will release a compilation of remixed tracks from MORBID ANGEL's latest album, "Illud Divinum Insanus". Far from being just revamped versions of the seminal extreme metal band's newest songs, this collection will present the work of 39 artists from the electro / industrial, techno and club scene.



Here are some of the names taking part in "Illud Divinum Insanus - The Remixes":



* Xytras

* Tim Skold

* SKINNY PUPPY/cEvin Key

* PUNISH YOURSELF VS SONIC AREA

* TREPONEM PAL

* LAIBACH

* TAMTRUM

* MIXHELL (Igor Cavalera)

* TOXIC AVENGER

* MICROPOINT

Tim Skold, cEvin Key, Xy, and Laibach are the reasons I will bother to download and preview this. I don't think I will buy it.

but how they will remix the already techno song too extreme?

A skinny puppy remix would be amazing... if it happened in 1991. Combining new SP and new MA sounds about as as it gets. ::::::::::::

I'm not sure a Skinny Puppy remix between now and then holds the same margin of win/fail as Skinny Puppy songs between now and then. I think the big drop in SP's album quality after reforming has been largely due to the death of Dwayne Goettel. (Dwayne and cEvin were tight partners in the song writing.) I'm pretty sure (though I could be wrong, as I sard looking this up and am working from faulty memory) most of the internal remixes from the older SP era were by cEvin and Dave Ogilvie. Maybe cEvin can do something with the material that won't sound like a turd. I'm reserving judgement for hearing.

Oh, and before anyone else gets in on it...















Skinny Puppy remixes were better in the gloryhole era .

yeah i mean i'll give it a shot, but all i have to go on is the last couple albums and those were both unadulterated poop. my expectations are pretty low.



skinny puppy everything was better in the 90's. mainly though just the early 90's

I enjoy them right up to the end in ...was it '95? It was nifty for them to get back together to tour but these new albums just should not have happened. They all sound like Ogre's solo work.

i was in uhh, 7th grade when that came out, so it woulda been early '96 i think. it had some good tracks but you could tell they finished writing it after he died. i agree with all the rest

'96 -- thank you.

Nostalgia was much better in the gloryhole era .

I also read they contacted hardcore DJ Ruffneck.

I was hoping that "remix" meant more audible guitars/lower voice level and the techno shit was replaced by real songs. Guess not.

You're such the optimist that I thin k you might actually be the polar opposite of Stormy, and maybe even his nemesis. Tell me, what are your thoughts on Pantera, Vermont, and cold weather?

you actually considered wasting money on this?[/quote]

Please re-read my post.

Illud should be remixed/unmixed in a more metal direction. And leave some of the crap out, make it a metal EP

Does the fact that they are remixing the album this shortly after it's release imply there is some kind of acceptance in the MA camp that the album does indeed blow ?



But then again [quote name="Uni"]Trey said they were planning to do something like this in the I.llud interviews. I wonder who else gets to work on their stuff.[/quote].



It better be good then.

My guess is that they want to take it further. I'm thinking a Demanufacture-Remanufacture kind of approach in this.

This is without question.



The strange thought occurs to me that while Remanufacture wasn't as good as Demanufacture, in a overall musical sense, this new remix album might turn out to be better then IDI

Whereas Demanufacture was already a good album and not as easy to improve, IDI is a mostly shite album leaving it possibly more open for improvement? Interesting theory.

I saw mixhell during the summer. It was fucking awesome.
