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 ›› |

Experimental Disco-Metal
Jun 05, 2011
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.

Posts: 6675 Written by Lustful Maid on 03.09.2012 at 17:59 Pete Sandoval doesn't play on the album, it's Tim Yeung.  There's actually been a few stories circulating around the net recently, that Pete has actually left the band permanently. He is still listed as the drummer on Morbid Angel's official website though, and as far as I know, there has been no official statement made by the band about Pete's supposed departure.

This album is such a joke.

If it wasn't MA, there wouldn't have been so much controversy. Some tracks are actually enjoyable even if the worst ones always get the attention (radikult, too extreme.....). A mixed album that ends up being quite mediocre.

Average death metal songs + average industrial songs + occasional orchestrations = mediocre album...

People probably give it such a low rating out of sheer disappointment, which I suppose I can understand. I'd rate it a 5.7 at max, or at the lowest a 4.

The album had a very low level ..... . The morbid angel fans (of which I am one of them) "in their minds of this group relative to the group's albums and videos that have been decades ago," I did not expect to like this.! "Pete" did not appear on the album itself is a negative score and may indicate that "Pete" also believes that the new album should be out .... .  ((( I wish a hundred times more powerful than the old Morbid angel is back on .... not a hundred times weaker! )))

I quite enjoyed Existo Vulgoré, I Am Morbid, and Nevermore, but frankly most of the remainder is garbage...

If this wasn't Morbid Angel, I admit I wouldn't have rated it this low. However, it *is* Morbid Angel, and despite my best efforts, I cannot erase the quality of their other albums from my mind. If this album was by a completely unknown band, I might give it a 6 If this album was by a completely unknown band, I also never would've purchased it

I guess I'm already aware I'm in the minority, but I have to make an attempt to defend this album. I find this album to be very fun, yeah it's not top quality industrial metal, it's not top quality death metal, and it's possibly not top quality morbid angel (I don't know morbid angel that well) but I do know that when I listen to it I have a good time. It's just such silly, ridiculous and fun, that I find myself returning to it regularly. Take this opinion as you find it, I also like to listen to St Anger for fun, and prefer the original to the snare corrected versions you can find on youtube (that's a topic for another chat, and maybe I have a teenage nostalgia for it, but I still find it fun to listen to)

This was the first album I ever heard from this band so I will always tend to take its side, but there are some songs that make it difficult. To put it simply: is it death metal? No. Is it what you would expect from MA? No. Is it bad? Also no.

This was MA having a go at something totally different and out of the ordinary, unfortunately they failed miserably at it. I'm still not sure where they were going with this industrial route exactly, all I know is it's an awful album and by far their worst release.
