MORBID ANGEL "Altars Of Madness" Dual Disc Earache
First questions coming in mind are : is it a need to release again this album
? who does not have this death metal masterpiece ? Because not only this
1989 lp is legendary, but it has all you are waiting for a death metal record
(brutality, madness, evil melodies, haunting tracks...), and to my eyes it
remains the jewel number one in that kind of metal. The ten tracks are perfect
examples of my words, all are strong and you won't find a weak one. It's
great art with an architecture made of savagery, primitive violence, precision
and masterly construction. Their rites are immortal. As in the first cd release,
you get the three bonustracks which are little different mixes of "Maze Of
Torment", "Chapel Of Ghouls" and "Blasphemy". But what is the difference
with the first pressing ? Well, if you shouldn't know to read, it's not a
cd but a dual disc. Which means, when you turn the disc (mind you, I am generous
to teach you this), you have a dvd side including the ten tracks played live
at Nottingham in November '89, filmed on the band's first european tour and
which is at the same time their first official dvd. About 44 minutes of magic
video. So now, you have the answer if you must buy this disc or die like
a faggot. Plus you will find in the booklet Trey's notes and some old promo
pictures.
