Morbid Angel's fifth full length, 'Gateways to Annihilation,' comes to us as a truly monolithic piece of Death Metal. At first listen this may be very hard to consume but I believe it came out of natural, obersvable progression. What Morbid Angel began on 'Blessed Are the Sick' and continued on through David Vincent's departure and their first full length with Steve Tucker is clearly sustained in well form here and even expanded upon to an extent. That certain element I am talking about is a heaviness, an atmosphere, a "larger than life" persona, that seeps through their production, performance, and especially their lyrical content.

Vastly underrated.

Written by Iron Nostarion on 14.04.2012 at 20:16 I agree. This and Domination are my favorites of theirs.

This is a very underrated album, and my favourite with Steve Tucker on vocals. "Summoning Redemption" is a monstrous song!

This sounds like where Bloodbath got their sound for The Fathomless Mastery from.

Written by Jaeryd on 11.04.2013 at 14:00 Tone or style? I'd disagree with the latter

Written by LeKiwi on 12.12.2013 at 15:19 Idk, I just got into extreme metal a little over a year ago (I know, I'm really late to the party), and I've been trying to explore a bunch of different groups. I made this comment earlier this year, but I don't think I realized that this is just how modern death metal generally sounds. So yeah, I suppose I meant tone, but in retrospect, the Bloodbath comparison was unnecessary.

This album is probably better than both FFttF and Domination. It hits harder than Domination without the stupid instrumental track, and the vocals are less belch-y than some of the vocals on some Domination tracks (specifically vocals like on the opening track of that album). The album also seems to have a little more focus than FFttF. Domination still ranks close to this one, but I think this one is just a tad better. Still doesn't beat out the classics that are the first three albums, though.

This is their best album in my opinion. Best tone and writing style. Punishingly slow and heavy. Tucker kicks ass.

Love this album, absolutely love it. I still like the A's better, but this and C follow closely behind

Saw this on vinyl in a little local record shop this past weekend. Seeing it that large reminded me of how stunning this album cover is.
