Morbid Angel - Part Ways With Guitarist Destructhor, Tucker Responds
Morbid Angel's line-up continues to crumble like a house of cards. Now, it's guitarist Thor Anders Myhren, aka Destructhor, that announces his departure. According to a statement revealed by Blabbermouth, Destructhor says the band wants someone local. He also says that he had already decided to leave the band to focus on Myrkskog. The returning frontman Steve Tucker has recently confirmed over Facebook that he doesn't know who will play the second guitar in the band.
Earlier this week, drummer Tim "The Missile" Yeung also left the band. And David Vincent denied that he was out of the band, leaving people confused. Morbid Angel haven't said anything about Vincent officially.
Destructhor said in a statement: "I would like to announce that I, Destructhor, as well am out of Morbid Angel. Due to issues of them wanting to work with someone more local. Actually pretty good news to me, since I personally decided to leave Morbid Angel after the last tour we did in Europe in November/December 2014. It is definitely time for me to move on with the Norwegian extreme act Myrkskog. This is where I truly belong and exciting things are happening! A new record is being released next year with coming tours, festivals and so on. So it's time to step it up and prepare for war with my Norwegian/Swedish brothers in Myrkskog. As for Morbid Angel, I wish them all the best with everything! It's been a lot of great experiences! No hard feelings at all and may the future bring us all to another dimension!"
Responding to fans over Facebook, Steve Tucker said: "Here are a few answers to questions that I keep getting asked... What's up with David? I don't have a fucking clue, and I don't think that I am the only one. Is Pete Sandoval coming back? I fucking wish that would happen! Will there be both myself and David in MA? Hahahahhahhahahaha. Sorry man I play death metal, so, NO. Who will play second guitar? Time will answer that one... And last but not least, will Warfather continue? Absolutely! We track the new album in 3 weeks at mana studios, with my brother Erik Rutan producing!"

Chances are small for David to remain with the band... he is the puzzle's missing piece now.

The bright spot on the last album was Destructhor's songs, so this isn't good news for me to hear.

This sounds like the beginning of the end for Morbid Angel! Two bass players? How they will decide who take the place? Fighting? No drummer and now missing a guitar...

Written by Bad English on 19.06.2015 at 19:42 Well, for what we know, Trey and Steve are in the band and working on something so I'm sure they'll find plenty of musicians willing to play on Morbid Angel's next album. They ain't breaking up for sure.

Written by deadone on 20.06.2015 at 12:21 When was the last time MA have released a truly great album? Some would say Covenant or Formulas Fatal To The Flesh but I beg to differ and would say their last great album was Blessed Are The Sick. Everything after that had one or two great songs on it but the rest of the songs would be mediocre.

Written by deadone on 20.06.2015 at 12:29 What does Domination have to do with mainstream groove?  It is still 100% death metal that album and nothing mainstream about it.

Where The Slime Live is an awesome song off Domination. Shame the other songs don't get anywhere near that level.
