Morbid Angel - New Guitarist Named
Metal Hammer writer Joel McIver reports that the new guitarist in Florida Death Metal legends Morbid Angel is none other than Zyklon's longtime axemeister Destructhor (Thor Anders Myhren).
Frontman David Vincent told Metal Hammer in a recent interview, "The hunt for another guitarist to play alongside Trey (Azagthoth, the band's primary songwriter) was long and difficult. Man, I tell you, we had tapes sent to us from all over the world from guys who wanted to play in our band, and many of them were extremely talented - but Thor was the right choice for us. He's a fantastic guitarist and fits right in with the band. Also, Zyklon have supported Morbid Angel in the past, so the guys knew each other already.
Thor Anders "Destructhor" Myhren is also known from his work for Norwegian Brutal Death Metal band Myrkskog.
In other news, Morbid Angel vocalist David Vincent is also set to appear on the new Soulfly album, "Conquer". More about that here.
