Concerning Morbid Angel...

[walpurgis]

Hey, I was bored and just lookin at tabs and such on here, and I noticed something. There's a track called Dominate, at least it's listed as the last track on Entangled in Chaos, but there's also the song called Dominate on the album Domination. Is the one on Entangled in Chaos different or was it a typo?

[Disciple]

One is a live version and the other is the studio version.

[walpurgis]

Ahh! Thank you :)

[memnoch]

Yeah......this ain't about whatever you were talking about.....but it IS about Morbid Angel. I just didn't feel like making a new thread since there are a few MA ones already.


I just bought Domination today.....and Boy oh Boy is it ever a sweet album!! Ceasar's palace is a kick-ass motha effing song. So are all the rest. Man, can Trey ever play a guitar too.

[walpurgis]

Fucking right dude, I love that cd :) :) :)

[memnoch]

Any others by MA you might recommend?? Except for Gateways.

[walpurgis]

Hehe, Covenant, and I recommend it cuz it's the only other one I have ;)

[memnoch]

Sweetness......i think with morbid angel there's no going wrong with any cds.......just get any one of them and it'll rule. So, eventually i'll probably own them all.

[Father Death]

MA!!!!

[Disciple]

It's a pity that they never play more than one song from Domination in their live setlist.

[memnoch]

Yeah that's true......i would love to see them play Where the Slime Live......that song is a classic!!!

[walpurgis]

It is a damn good song, my fav on Domination is probably Caesar's Palace though. I'm thinking about figuring out track 9 off the CD (I wish I could remember the fucking name of it!) and playing it on keyboard, but change some things and add some things, I have a few ideas that I think would sound really cool, hopefully they'll work.

I really wish I would have heard more of their songs before I saw them at the Extreme Steel Show, so I would have known more of the songs better, but I suppose that just gives me reason to go see them again! :D

MA is fucking awesome, and that's all there is to it.

[Father Death]

i 100% agree w/everything said...except that i don't have domination:bawling: well i guess its more cd buying time *checks pockets*, eehhh...in a couple weeks maybe

[memnoch]

Yeah, i'd say Ceaser's Palace is probably one of the best songs off Domination......fuck that songs rules......but then again.....every MA song kicks ass. I love the solos, they're so melodic and they fit perfectly into the music. They're brilliant, and extremely talented musicians.

[memnoch]

Another thing about that song.......Ceaser's Palace....i think it has one of the coolest intros to a song i've ever heard.......it's hard to describe.....but at least to me, it's the type that just makes me laugh insanily at nothing while staring at my stereo, then i drool and bit and laugh ever more!! HehEhHehehhEhehhE:eek:

[walpurgis]

Yeah, it's intro is probably the part that first made me like it :)
and not since it's the first part :p


Hmm, does anybody know what scales Morbid Angel typically uses in writing their songs?

[Disciple]

the intro is almost hypnotizing ,terrific build-up.

[memnoch]

Another thing i was wondering about MA.....this summer, i saw them play at the Extreme steel tour.....and i didn't know much about their songs except for those off Gateways. They played a certain song which at one part, probably around the middle of the song, it went into a slow beat, and both guitarists just started playing an awesome riff which was only tapping on the 6th and 7th string (from what i could see, i might be wrong) but it was definitely low around there. They would tap something like t12p10p8p7 or something like that and switch back and forth between the 7th and 6th strings, maybe varying it a little from the 12th fret to the 7th and then the 10th sometimes or whatever. But it looked and sounded so amazing......but i haven't been able to find the song. Could anyone help me out???

got some news off Morbid Angel.com concerning the re-release of Altars and Blessed:


Earache To Re-release Morbid Angel Classics

On November 11th, 2002, Earache will be re-releasing Morbid Angel's first and second albums - "Altars Of Madness" which have been voted as one of the influential Metal albums of the 90’s in magazines such as Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Rock Hard and Close Up, and "Blessed Are The Sick" which has been hailed as the fan's favorite Morbid Angel album. Each release has a limited edition slipcase, with both albums having been completely re-mastered with brand new artwork [interior art and photos I believe -Ed]. Both booklets have extensive liner notes from guitarist and founder Trey Azagthoth and include clippings and photos from the band's personal archive. With each of the albums there will be a bonus CD-ROM containing the rarely-seen videos for "Immortal Rites" and "Blessed Are The Sick". No word on whether this will be a UK only release for the time being or both UK and North America.

The bonus shit sounds cool, now if only we had some news on a new album or new vocalist......after all its only Trey and Pete right now.

[walpurgis]

God damn son of a whore's ass, I just bought Blessed Are the Sick three days ago, now I have to haul my fat ass all the way back out to Cleveland and spend more god damn money on that god damn CD, god damn it.

Oh yeah, and I'll have to buy god damn Altars of Madness too, god damn it.

Sweet :)

I read that the other day, but it didn't really sink in, lol, I've done way too many drugs...

[Disciple]

That would be because a lot of the early nineties Earache records are getting out of print, so they're re-releasing the stuff that still sells well as to lose no sales.

A pity they won't do it with the Nocturnus' The Key or Bolt Thrower's Realm of Chaos. Those records will get rare I suppose...

On the other hand,my copy of Altars of Madness is one of the first cd pressings of that album that were sold in Europe in 1989. It's by Globus International,licensed by Earache. That's rare :p .

[Blizzard Beast]

Damn I wish I hadnt have traded my Altars of Madness cd. I had the original copy but traded it a couple of years ago. I still have the original Blessed are the Sick. That is the album that got me into extreme music. It's a classic. As far as Morbid Angel goes I lost interest in them after Dave left the band. I can't seem to get into the new guy's vocals. Still a very influential death metal band, with or without Dave.

[Disciple]

nah,there should be plenty of original Altars available secondhand.

[metal=life]

Altars Of Madness is my favorite MA cd. Immortal Rites is a good song.
