Morbid Angel was one of the first bands to lay the groundwork for the genre that would come to be known as death metal. The band quickly rose to the top of the heap in the flourishing extreme metal scene of the late ’80s in Tampa, Florida. Their debut album, Altars of Madness, was released in 1989 and is considered to be one of the cornerstone recordings of death metal to this day.

Morbid Angel has undergone numerous lineup and stylistic changes over the years, but remain active to this day. They are currently working on new material with yet another new lineup. We here at GoD will keep you up to date with any news regarding a new album when it becomes available. Until then, enjoy this live video of this week’s Massive Metal Monday track “Chapel of Ghouls” from Altars of Madness.
