I have never owned a Morbid Angel album. Start with Altars - is that right? I have always meant to get an MA but have never got round to it. But then, I hadn't bought any Obituary until about six months ago...

Is that "Social Intercourse"? I've got that on vinyl !
Anyway,I have Blessed are the Sick,don't listen to it much to be honest.One of the very few Death metal bands left that I haven't got round to seeing live.

For some bizzare reason, I voted B and not A or C. Shit, I guess its just because Abominations and The Ancient Ones have been playing almost non stop on my iPod.

I'm not a huge fan of Morbid Angel, although one or two songs are pretty blow-off-my-head-y.

On the subject of death metal... Isn't Death's Symbolic a wonderful album?

Gah! I can't decide between Covenant or Heretic, I love them both so much

Morbid Angel are just amazing. Their first 3 albums are some of the finest DM ever written, just superb.
First saw them live in '96 with Opeth supporting and they were just awesome, i got in the live photo thats on the inside cover of Entangled In Chaos in the process too

Blessed are the Sick is my favourite. That album is fucking horrible (in a good way)

Yeah, totally!

Its strange that Blessed's production is amazing compared to Covenant, you would have thought it would be the other way round.

FUCCKKK!

Maybe their best songs, well for me anyway.

But who the hell is doing them?

Its Mike Browning, the drummer isnt it? He then played drums and vocals for Nocturnus

I bought Alters of Madness about a month ago because the cover was cool. Great band

I fucking love Symbolic. It is indeed wonderful - filled with so many good riffs and the songs are brilliantly structured. I do love Death muchly. I think that is why I feel dumb about not checking out much Morbid Angel, them being Death's rival.

The biggest riff sandwich I have ever consumed.

Firstly, Trey used to do a fair bit of Schuldiner bashing did he not? Secondly, Death and Morbid Angel are kind of like the two 'death metal for beginners' bands are they not? That was where my logic lied anyway.
