“LISTEN TO MORBID ANGEL”

 Thursday, November 12th, 2009 at 2:30pm by

That’s we told MS Intern David en route to this summer’s Mayhem Festival when he asked us what other bands he should listen to if he likes Gojira (and boy, the kid sure does love Gojira… we taught him well!). ‘Cause Gojira borrow a helluva lot from Morbid Angel; Joe-Jira himself will even tell you this. We then proceeded by blast Domination whilst mercilessly stuck in Dirty Jerz traffic.

This live video posted by Crustcake today was filmed at Wacken in 2006 which means that yes, that IS Erik Rutan on guitar!

      Hahahahaha, that’s fucking perfect.

  • fasshole

    I’m all for anything to do with Morbing Angel and/or Rutan, but this is a very old video.

    you guys do know that Erik Rutan was a full time member of Morbid Angel for sometime right? so whats with the emphasis on him playing in the video? The excitement of him playing that show was indeed present when he rejoined the band for the show; but it’s irrelevant to your blog point. I’m slightly embarrassed you have an intern who knows nothing about Morbid Angel.

      Yeah that should be part of the interview… “What can you tell us about Morbid Angel ?” I hope I got that kind of questions on a job interview…

  • poopface

    Note to all camera guys recording shows: show the flippin’ guitarist when he’s playing a solo goddammit! I don’t care about the bass player or the drummer or the one chick in the crowd. Show me the money!

    • fasshole

      That has to be one of the most of annoying things that can ever happen.

  • wtfhax

    Morbid Angel fucking rules except that they NEVER tour the US anymore :x

    This song owns everything worth owning. David Vincent’s latex shirts, however, do not.

    • James

      lol, well done sir

  • Death to “Bro-Metal”

    Great post – it’s about time that they finally acknowledge Morbid Angel on this site… Is their new album ever coming out? Hell, I’m more concerned with seeing a tour than any new releases at this point

    • mrbinky

      Yup, they need a new album with DV on vocals. A tour would be nice too…..

  • http://Www.hibernum.net Hibernum

    The first 4 albums (a to d if you like) are classics. The later stuff seems so work a day and boring. I don’t know why. I blame it on Trey spending too much energy on video games and new age self help philosophy.

    • Biff Tannen

      Actually, Formulas Fatel To The Flesh is a KILLER album. The vocals aren’t great (too many words, so Tucker has to hurry through them=not memorable), but the SOLOING on that album is Treys best by a long shot, and that’s saying something !

      Its a criminally underated album. Very agressive with some axe mastery only Trey can fathom from the depths of the old ones. Its MUCH better than Domination. Give it another spin!

  • Toxteth O’Grady

    You have an intern?

  • mrbinky

    Domination FTW!

  • Ziltoid

    YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO HAVING THE FIRST PERFECT POST IN THIS WEBSITE’S HISTORY!!!!

    SO!
    DAMN!
    CLOSE!

    …but then you blasted Domination instead of Altars of Madness.

    Fail…

    GHOULS!
    ATTACK THE CHURCH!
    CRUSH!
    THE HOLY PRIEST!
    TURNING!
    THE CROSS TOWARDS HELL!
    WRITHE!
    IN SATAN’S FLAMES!

    • I, Monarch

      Shut the fuck up, Domination is the shit. I probably like Altars better than Domination too, but really anything from MAs first 4 albums are excellent.

      • Ziltoid

        Domination is lame and boring. Altars is where the real stuff is at. Covenant would have also been acceptable as well (but I’m not fond of Blessed are the Sick).

        • Biff Tannen

          Blessed is great, ZIltoid. Give it a few more spins. The riffing is very sick and twisted ! I know the production is kinda weak and off-putting, but that album has great songs in spades.

          Of course these idiots played Domination instead of one of the classic first 3 albums (4 if you include abominations of desolation)…..these people have HORRIBLE fucking taste.

          Domination has about 3 good songs, the rest is total garbage. That completely explains why the MS crew likes it, they are ‘posers’ for lack of a better word.

          • Ziltoid

            The production is definitely my problem with Blessed. I’m all for lo-fi stuff, but Blessed just sounds neutered in every conceivable way. A few songs seemed to be great, but the production literally killed it. I’m not one to complain about production often (Especially in death metal), but this was horrendous. This, and Eucharist’s two albums are the only ones I really can’t listen to only because of neutering production.

  • shawn

    my friends and I have been arguing about this song for like 7 years….i personally love it.
    think i’ve watcehd that vid before a few time as well! Domination is underrated…

  • ThisIsNecessary

    Once again, Vince Neilstein fails. Why get all excited over Rutan when you have the genius himself TREY FUCKING AZAGTHOTH.

    And personally, Domination and Formulas Fatal To The Flesh have the best compositions IMO. David is awesome as hell and Domination had some of the catchiest death metal riffs ever. But for FFTTF, Steve Tucker was a goddamn beast on that album(listen to the vocal arrangements on Heaving Earth) and anyone denying that should get off of David Vincent’s cock and realize that it doesn’t matter because Trey is the real driving force of that band anyway.

  • PatrickSTL

    I haven’t heard much from this band before and I love Gojira.
    It’s insane how much this riff sounds like Gojira.
    This IS a little boring compared to the best stuff of Gojira though (IMO) and Joe’s vocals and lyrics are better. And Mario’s drums are the sickest I’ve ever heard.

    Would you say that MA is Gojira’s number one influence?
    Sure sounds like it here.

  • NoneSoVile

    Domination sucks, you guys seriously played that first out of everything else?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Devon-Czekaj/550092101 Devon Czekaj

      Probably because it sounds the most like Gojira.

  • Facebook User

    Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!

  • Tim-o-tato

    Does Pete have triggers on all his toms? lolz…

  • Io

    I’m only 22, and I already feel old in a world where people know Gojira and not Morbid Angel.

    ..for more Morbid Angel influenced goodness, everybody should check out Mithras.
