Morbid Angel On Their Controversial New Album

Our Facebook/Twitter feeds have been ablaze with the sound of you lot discussing the new Morbid Angel album and we spoke to Dave Vincent to get his take on it all! He suggests that this might be your favourite MA album ever…

Well, well, welll, Morbid Angel have certainly been causing waves this week with their first album for 8 years, the industrial-laced new album, ‘Illud Divinum Insanus’. We spoke to MA frontman Dave Vincent shortly after Subterranea heard the album and his instant reaction was “how fucked off are you, first of all?”

“It would be very easy for us to go, ‘Hmmm, let’s take the greatest hits of Morbid Angel and make them a bit better and change a few of the little things and do very well,’ he continued. “Would it be pure artistically? Not at all, and it would cheat our fans out of the very essence of what Morbid Angel has always been. For people who have an open mind, this is going to be their favourite Morbid Angel album ever.”
