World Management and Morbid Angel would like to let the fans know
that rumors about Pedro Sandoval¹s back surgery are in fact true.
Pete has suffered for a long time with a deteriorating disc problem.
He was in daily pain and needed to have this done.
He has recently been treated by a Laser Back Surgery specialist
in Tampa Florida. He is currently in rehabilitation and doing well.
Pete is part of our family and the band¹s History
and we all wish him well and a full recovery.
Unfortunately this type of injury, subsequent surgery and rehab
cannot be rushed and it will take ample time for him to hopefully
be back behind his drums again and out on tour with Morbid Angel.
The band is moving forward on their next recording with Tim Yeung.
Currently the guys are in rehearsals in Tampa putting their finishing
touches on the songs for the New album, which is slated for later
this year with subsequent touring world wide.

Masters of Chaos tour cancelled in El Paso
Morbid Angel and World management would like to announce that after
having the show moved three times because of venue difficulties,
there is unfortunately not enough time to properly promote the
moved shows scheduled for El Paso at the House of Rock, we therefore
regretfully would like the fans to know that there will be no
show in El Paso on April 28th, . We apologize to all ticket
holders for all the confusion but it was just not possible this
time around to do a well promoted quality show.
In further recognition of the European release of yesterday's Altars
of Madness Jewel disc containing Morbid Angel's first
ever 1989, Rock City, Nottingham England live video performance,
Morbid Angel would like to announce that Earache Records will
also release a limited edition of 1500 Picture discs. This Picture
disc contains a new never before on vinyl track listing including
Lord Of All Fevers And Plagues. See photo:
February 24, 2006
Morbid Angel and World Management are excited
to announce that on March 13th and a future TBA date for North
America Earache Records will release Altars of Madness Jewel Disc.
We have taken the following descriptive comments
From Will Palmers Press Release:
Few albums struck a chord within the ears and minds of the late
'80s underground metal scene like Morbid Angel's 'Altars of
Madness' did at the end of the decade. 'Altars of Madness' set
a new precedent for metal bands to reach and, along with fellow
Floridians Death, pretty much laid down the blue print for what we think of when we now hear
the words Death Metal, thus setting the standard
by which virtually all extreme metal over the course of the
next decade would be judged.
Now upgraded to Dual Disc format, this latest
release of 'Altars of Madness' not only contains remixes of
Maze of Torment, Chapel of Ghouls
Blasphemy but also, on the flipside, boasts the
first ever official DVD release by the band - the long sought
after November 1989 Nottingham Rock City show filmed on the
bands first ever European outing; the legendary Grindcrusher
Tour (alongside Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower and Carcass).
The energy and power of this performance demonstrates
not only why Morbid Angel were catapulted to huge success in
the years that followed but also captures the exact moment that
Death Metal outgrew the underground and established itself as
a credible metal style in the wider marketplace.

the people I trust. I have decided it is necessary for me to
step away from Morbid Angel. It has been a long trip with a
lot of great shows and I have made many friends along the way.
The Morbid Angel fans that not only excepted me ,but reveled
in my being a part of the band, have been the greatest thing
about my time in Morbid Angel, they are the reason I came back
to the band. There are many reasons for me leaving the band,
personal reasons, musical reasons and very logical reasons.
All of which will stay between me and the band .
Morbid Angel existed many years before I came along
and will for many more I am sure.
I have enjoyed playing with some great musicians and touring with
some great bands and meeting some incredible people all over
the world. To all these people I say "Thank You" and
we will meet again.
I am not done with the music business by any means, I will now
be moving into other areas of the business, things I have always
enjoyed, but didn't have time for. I will be moving into much
more recording ,production and management, so any bands interested
in working with me, feel free to contact me at hewhosleeps@hotmail.com.
Again,Thank you to all of the fans for 8 years of making my hour
and a half of stage time so brilliant!!!

Gaming Newsflash!!!!!!!!!
Anyone remember the old school 3D game DOOM by ID Software?
Surely by now everyone knows what a 3D gaming WHORE Trey is.
If he isn’t
Railing up a storm in the Quake 3 InstaGIB servers he’s going to work showing
those DOOM Creepers who their owner is.
“Always Happy To Come To MY HOUSE!!!” Well, Trey has just completed a chaotic new DOOM map called Chambers of Dis.
This map is set up as a single player survival nightmare environment to put your
gaming skills to the test. This map is huge and filled with tons of evil little doom
creepers who all lust for your suffering and fragmentation.
Just click on the new Chambers of Dis menu link for more
details. The Chambers of Dis map is made for the DOOM enhancement patch
ZDooM which allows higher video resolution, mouse look and other upgrades
which breathe new life into this ancient 3D classic. All that is needed to instantly
play the map is included in the Chambers of Dis Zip file.
“Creating music that takes the listener places is a big passion for me.
Now I wanna share with you meanies another side of my madness. J
During the writing and recording period for out latest release Heretic
I was also working on some other fun stuff such as this Chambers of
Dis map. For some reason I just gotta be using my imagination for
something cool and this map was such a funtastic outlet that I now
wish to share with everyone, just for fun. I’m sure you all know what
a gaming whore I am so come and taste some of this bitter-sweetness
that I have prepared for you. “

Morbid Angel's guitar wizard Trey Azagthoth is
included in a list of The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists Of All
Time in the March 2004 issue of Guitar World magazine. Ranking
at #55 on the star-studded list, Azagthoth is described as: "One
of the most crazed characters to emerge from Florida's late-Eighties
death metal scene... A frenzied player, he combines furious, angular
power chords with ripping leads, but his songs never lack dynamics,
since he often chugs through visceral, pick harmonic-tinted rhythms
before lashing out with torrents of blinding noise." Among
the other luminaries on the list are Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen,
and Steve Vai. Congratulations to Trey!

Erik Rutan Moves On
Erik Rutan has announced he is leaving Morbid Angel
in order to devote himself entirely to Hate Eternal.
Erik began playing guitar with Morbid Angel in 1993 and has
played on three of the band's albums, as well as numerous national and
international tours. In 1996, Erik began forming Hate Eternal, a blistering
Death Metal band that takes technicality and brutality to new levels.
In Hate Eternal, Erik fully expresses his own musical and lyrical ideas,
handling vocals and guitar, and the majority of the songwriting. Hate
Eternal's debut album, "Conquering The Throne", was the high-water
mark for Death Metal in 1999 -- a furious yet precise assault on the
senses. Hate Eternal's second album, "King Of All Kings" is
now finished and is set for release on September 16th in Europe and
September 17th in the US.
Erik had this to say about his decision to focus all his energies on Hate Eternal:
"Being in Morbid Angel for the past nine years has been the greatest
time of my life. To play in my favorite Death Metal band of all time has
been a tremendous honor. I want to thank Trey and Pete for all the great
years and all they have done for me, and all the fans who have supported
me and will hopefully continue to support me in the future. It is now
time for me to stand on my own two feet with Hate Eternal."
See Hate Eternal on tour November 5 - November 28 with Cannibal Corpse!
May 31st, 2002
Thanks to Jared
Morbid Angel and World Management would like to thank Jared Anderson for his
solid stand-in participation on bass and vocals for some of the "Gateways
of Annihilation" touring. We wish him well in the future in his
band Hate Eternal and other projects.

Radio interview with Tucker
In case you didn't catch the 'net radio interview that
aired on Energy FM90 radio on Friday night, we happen to have it available
for you to download in MP3 format. There's a couple of audible glitches
in it (hey, you can only get so good of a connection on a 33.6 modem,
right?) but it's quite listenable. The interview was originally aired
with music in between, so we've edited it down to just the interview.
It clocks in at just over 15 minutes.

"We're very proud of this record," continued Tucker. "The album takes
a very paganistic point of view and signifies the opening of a new door:
the entering of a new state of mind and being. This is what Morbid Angel
is about in the year 2000."
Additionally, Morbid Angel is scheduled to appear at the Wacken Open Air
Festival in Germany on August 5th where they will debut several new songs.
"GATEWAYS TO ANNIHILATION" is scheduled for a worldwide release
in early fall.

Further details will be available soon.

Also of note today is that Earache's G2000 page has been updated with a couple of studio photos from the "Gateways To Annihilation" recording sessions. There will apparently be new photos added every week for the next little while so keep checking
there for anything new.
