More than any other release in recent times, Morbid Angel's Illud Divinum Insanus has polarized our staff members. As anyone familiar with these Floridian death metal forefathers knows, they just came back from a long 8 year absence with a new album that also features their original vocalist, David Vincent, for the first time in 16 years. Due to the notability of this release, we decided to create a collaborative review, which gives all of the staff members to voice their opinions. Here they are, ranging from most negative to quite positive. Read more ›› |

So you thought you'd heard the pinnacle of experimental metal? Think again buster, Morbid Angel are here to please their fanbase with everything they could have ever wanted: rip-roaring hardcore snarls, air-punching electro-beatz, brutal, technical Rammstein-worship and truly forward-thinking lyrical content such as the never before contemplated "KILL A COP COP, KILL A COP, KILL-A-KILL-A-COP!" all of which will have you grabbing your glowsticks, squeezing into your favourite UV neon-latex vest and before you know it you'll be throwing shapes down your local Goth-pit, big-fish, little-fish, cardboard box style. Yeah, Morbid Angel know what they're doing and are making metal sexier than ever before. !J.O.O.E.!'s picks | More picks ›› |

The rate your music website currently has this at 1.69 (out of 5). I think it leaked somewhere and the reviews so far haven't been too good. I'm still planning on buying it though.

If I never hear this, it doesn't exist, and band stays credible, right?

It's "too extreme!" for Genitorturers, as for Morbid Angel "too extreme!" ... not It has an electronic touch and a sound that is more appealing to a wider audience Listened to it once and i haven't made up my mind

Just heard ExistoVulgore, Beauty Meets Beast, and Blades Of Baal, my God what a boring blaster Tim Yeung is. I hope Pete gets well soo. But if the rest is of this standard it is a good MA album though not great.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 01.06.2011 at 16:25 Well, knowing your taste, if I were you I'd reserve my judgement until I hear Too Extreme!, Destructos wtf/bloody hell and Radikult (haha, Radikult  ).

I watched Morbid Angel live about a week ago and I have to say, Tim Yeung really screwed up most of the old songs.

"ExistoVulgore" "Nevermore" nad "Beauty Meets Beast" are nice (mostly "Nevermore", "Beauty Meets Beast"). "Blades Of Baal" is metal, but weak, rest is sh1t.

Now that I have listened Radikult I want to say a famous quote from Hank Hill to the guys of Morbid Angel:"BWOAOAOAOAHAHAOA!"

So we have 11 songs: 6 normal songs (which are not awesome) and 5 stupid electro-intro songs wtf. this album seems to be not deserving the wait of [[[EIGHT!!!!!!!!]]]] years....

Blades for baal is THE song. but this cant save the album. "i am morbid", this is the most mainsteram song the band ever wrote...

Hmm... Ive still yet to listen to this, but Im definitely not encouraged by the comments Im reading.  I remember a few months ago stating I had a worry that David Vincent would try and insert some modern, experimental influences into MA's sound. That he'd bring some influences of his time in the Genitorturers into the band. And seeing words like "techno" and "electronic" in some of the comments here seemed to have confirmed the initial fears I had about that. Still, I won't judge the album till Ive heard it, which I hopefully will do at some point today. lol

Well i's not electro/techno, it's industrial anyway, it's not a great album, but it's not worth the hate either. "Too Extreme!" is a weak and failed attempt at making a decent indus/DM song, especially compared to "Destructos vs the earth" which I actually like (but wtf is this stupid song title anyway?). Out of the death metal songs, only "Blades Of Baal" and "Nevermore" are really good imo. Also, Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 01.06.2011 at 16:25 totally agreed. A drum machine would have sounded the same. EDIT: "Radikult" is funny indeed. Not Morbid Angel at all, but...

I was hoping to be open minded and be the person that likes this, thinking that maybe everyone is upset because this is morbid angel and not some unknown band. But it fucking sucks. There are the songs that sound like they are made for mtv and the death metal tracks that I think some people have said are decent, but I don't care for those either. I think the biggest problem with those tracks is David Vincent's vocals...he sucks now. Even Beauty meets beast seemed like it would be a decent track and then he starts whispering like a fag.

Yeah...this may be my first 1 on the Metal Storm system. My lowest rating so far has been a 4...but this album is just disastrous.

The problem with this album isn't the techno stuff, but the fact that they didn't go all the way in picking up a style, and left a whole bunch of ultra-average death metal in the middle of it all

Written by [user id=35732] on 03.06.2011 at 01:15 The very fact that they (Season of Mist) need all that praise is quite telling enough, I guess. Especially that this 'news item' was released after the album leak...

This album is getting lambasted on the internet, but so far, after 3 listenings, I still like it. I'm not sure why so many metal fans get so worked up about bands using drum machines and samples, we're not in 80s anymore for fuck's sake.

Written by theflyingmachine on 03.06.2011 at 00:05 Completely agreed. I feel bad for the fans who pre-ordered that special edition box set which cost like $100 or something... before the sample clips leaked

Written by Kub on 03.06.2011 at 08:59 Well, it's a real drummer that plays on this album. He's called Tim Yeung, and does indeed sound like a machine  Quite a change with Pete Sandoval's drumming - for the worse.
