SEASON OF MORBID ANGEL
Thursday, November 19th, 2009 at 10:00am by Vince NeilsteinEither something’s in the water at the Season of Mist offices or they’ve got some new personnel over there that’s movin’ and shakin’; in the past 1+ years, a label that has recently specialized in mostly European metal farther from the beaten path has signed Cynic, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and now Morbid Angel. Not that these acts are likely to headline the Rockstar Mayhem Yadda Yadda Tour anytime soon, but by most standards they’re much more “mainstream” than the label’s previous fare. All of which “previous fare” is quite good, by the way; I wrote a piece about some of Season of Mist’s lesser known bands a while back.
Check out a clip of the new song “Nevermore” filmed earlier this year below [via Blabs] for maximum ass kickage. Then, to counterbalance with a good laugh, check out Season of Mist’s laughably stuck in 1998 website, replete with bad flash, animated .gifs, cheesy imagery and pop-up windows (I recommend both the “light html” AND “heavy flash” versions for some solid lulz!).

Sick \m/
I’m curious as to how season of mist went from being a label I had never heard of to a label thats getting big names fairly regularly.
They did a pretty good job on promoting cynic’s last album some reason i thought they were gonna sign with nuclear blast oh well I just hope this gets them going and back into the studio there kinda of due for it
Season of Mist is just trying to bring in big names. They don’t care if they break even on these projects, it’s just about establishing themselves. Which, I can’t agree or disagree with. I’d want to establish myself as a powerhouse too… just not at the risk of bankrupting my company!
Wonder how Mayhem feels now? They used to be this label’s biggest band and now they keep slipping further and further down the list!
Rotting Christ is also on S.O.M.
Speaking of Rotting Christ, you guys should talk about them on this site. I don’t recall anything ever being posted about them…
this!!! +1
I hate this song simply because it’s a new song and it’s called “Nevermore.” So now when I search for leaked new Nevermore shit, this is what comes up.
you are so right about the website, vince. its like playing a cheesy hellraiser video game. noisy animation on websites is totally burzum.
wtf is up with no trey in that video. also totally burzum.
Nice camera work. This guy really made sure he focused on Trey when he played a guitar solo. He should win an award for paying so much attention.
And yeah, where the fuck is Trey!?
Hopefully this means their new album finally comes out.
i dont know where to start…. first off trey is losing his chops haha tucker was by far was a better front man then “evil D” the new stuff in my opinion is simply cheesy deathmetal the other records were much better
