#142 - Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
This week on Riff Worship we’re tracing the origins of one of death metal's most foundational pillars: Morbid Angel. We’ll follow the band’s formative years in Tampa, Florida, to the chaotic journey toward their 1989 debut album, Altars of Madness!
On this episode, we explore:
Guitarist Trey Azagthoth’s obsession with the occult and how the Necronomicon influenced the band’s otherworldly sound.
Morbid Angel’s introduction to David Vincent, the infamous Abominations of Desolation sessions, and their brief residence in North Carolina.
How Terrorizer’s Pete Sandoval joined the ranks and his crash course in double-bass that developed his signature style.
The role of Napalm Death’s Mick Harris, whose America holiday helped bridge the gap between Tampa and Earache Records.
The rapid Morrisound Recording sessions and the iconic Dan Seagrave cover art that helped create a Florida Death Metal classic!
