Morbid Angel - "Illud Divinum Insanus"

[Zyklon]

Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent has exclusively spoken to Terrorizer regarding to the somewhat loud response to the death metal legends' new opus, 'Illud Divinum Insanus' - including that Hitler video!

“Obviously, we've had a lot of internal dialogue about this," admits the singer. "My tour manager said, 'Do you wanna see something interesting?', and he brought up the initial reviews of The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper...' record. People were calling it a piece of crap and saying it was uninspired, and now it's like, 'Are you fucking kidding me? This is one of their best records!' The old reviews said that it doesn't sound like their old stuff, so this [kind of reaction] is nothing new. I would put this on the same level as what happened to us on 'Blessed Are The Sick' – the only difference is that there wasn't the internet.”

The band have also seen the infamous video in which a subtitled Hitler slates the new album - the band's first for eight years - and even suggests that "Bodycount want their lyrics back".

“It's absolutely hilarious!" David enthuses. "Somebody's spent a lot of time on that – and it wasn't me! But it's great that people are being creative in their response to what we're doing, and it's engaging.”

Certamente que o Thomas disse o mesmo na altura do «Cold Lake» e agora renega o disco (como já fez em relação a Hellhammer). Admitir que o disco é uma trampa, logo depois de sair, seria maior tiro no pé que o próprio disco já é.
Sgt. Peppers... lol. Presunção?

After a fifteen year hiatus from recording together, original Morbid Angel members Trey Azagthoth and David Vincent have returned with Illud Divinum Insanus. Upon release, a global wave of success has greeted the band. Outside of performances in front of tens of thousands, brisk sales of the album can be seen worldwide. The line-up now includes Tim Yeung (drummer Pete Sandoval is recuperating from a back injury), and highly accomplished Norwegian guitarist Destructhor, who has been with the band for over five years, and performs on the album alongside Azagthoth.

Illud Divinum Insanus has been greeted with praise from critics across the globe. In its July issue cover story on Yeung, DRUM! Magazine shares, “The band’s first album since 2003’s Heretic, Illud Divinum Insanus is a death metal riot of oceanic proportions.” The periodical also states, “The high priests of U.S. death metal are back with their sickest offering yet…” Alongside DRUM!, Morbid Angel will grace the covers of Decibel Magazine here in the U.S., Terrorizer in the U.K., as well as Legacy (Germany), Metallian (France), Inferno Rock (Italy), 7Gates (Poland), Metalized (Denmark), Inferno Magazine (Finland) and three more major European periodicals confirmed and to be revealed soon. Kerrang and Terrorizer applauded the effort with a 4/5 ratings, while across the continent the reception has been simply stellar with 9/10 reviews from the likes of Rock Hard Germany, Dark Scene Austria and Italy’s Metal Maniac, an amazing 97/100 from Lords of Metal in the Netherlands, while Schock Magazine Hungary and Metalized Denmark offered the rare perfect 10/10 review.

Over the past five years, Morbid Angel has been conquering stages across the world, and a return to the studio was inevitable. Vincent shares, “We’ve been told that this is one of the most anticipated recordings and we pulled out all the stops and pushed things to a new level. This is exciting!”

The career of Morbid Angel is simply iconic in status. The line-up has changed multiple times through the years, but with 2011 comes a return of the original duo of David Vincent (Vocals, Bass) and Trey Azagthoth (Guitars). Since the band’s formation in 1984, and their true rise through Altars of Madness (1989), the band unleashed a new level of extreme music on the Earth’s consciousness. Blessed Are The Sick (1991), considered by many to be a true musical masterpiece, Covenant (1993) the first major label release from a death metal band, and Domination (1995), display living proof that creativity does not have to meet conformity in order to achieve commercial success. The live album Entangled In Chaos (1996) followed, as did the departure of vocalist / bassist Vincent. An Azagthoth-led Morbid Angel recorded three great albums in Vincent’s absence - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh (1997), Gateways to Annihilation (2000), and Heretic (2003) continued to feed the fan base and cement the band's notoriety in the pantheon of Metal. Over the past five years, an Azagthoth / Vincent led Morbid Angel has been performing in South America and Europe, reclaiming a place high atop the pedestal of extreme music.

Morbid Angel has begun a tour that will touch down across the globe in 2011.

Morbid Angel recently released the band's first full-length studio album in eight years, titled "Illud Divinum Insanus" (reviewed here). The band has now announced the following chart positions for the new release:

Já saiu a deste mês?
Estou curioso para ler a critica, muito mesmo.

[Vooder]

Nem me estava a referir tanto à critica (que nem sei se vai sair este mês), mas mais à capa (que tb não sei se irá ser em Julho). Tinha todo o sentido ter sido na de Junho, se for a intenção da revista fazer capa com eles. Quem for fã deles no FB percebe o que quero dizer.

[[BR11]]

de longe, mas de muito longe, o melhor disco de MA deste século...

Não fazes parte dos amiguinhos do facebook, logo não tens direito a saber.

Diferente e muito bom,estranho é cantarolar os refroes tao facilmente.Pode parecer estranho ouvir ritmos electronicos numa banda com tao grande peso historico,mas se é assim que eles se sentem bem,venham nos viciar com mais uns tantos encantamentos sonoros.
