Morbid Angel

|
Morbid Angel is a Florida-based death metal band assembled in 1983 and have helped shape the death metal genre. Their songs are quite complex in arrangement, owing to the considerable skill of guitarist Trey Azagthoth and drummer Pete Sandoval.
Morbid Angel were one of the original death metal bands signed to Earache Records, and were also instrumental in the transition of death metal from its thrash metal roots to its current form.
Morbid Angel was featured on Beavis and Butthead briefly, when a clip from God of Emptiness (off the album Covenant) was played while Butthead chanted Bow to me... along with the band.
So far, all of their albums have been released with titles in alphabetical order.
