Is that a bear?

argieStream LoL RAWR HES A BEAR 🐻

This is the part were it gets stupid.

Isnt this them?!

wich one of these two are beavis and who are butthead? I dont care. This is like asking rocky to judge between boxing and badminton

Yo, big fan of your morbid angel edit.

@@123612100 Oh hey, thank you man! I made that 2008... Would love a comment there as well!

Depending the era First waves were pretty crossed together

@@Nissardpertugiu first wave bm was thrashy, second was where it got its sound. Bm and dm are very distinct, i know theres blackened dm and thats basically dm with bm themes.

@@Nissardpertugiu They were, yes - but if you can't discern Covenant from BM then you have a lot to learn with metal. If they were reacting to Chapel of Ghouls, it might be a different story

Bathory sounds a lot different than Obituary.

@@TheBLACKX72 Black Metal the name for that came from Venoms Black Metal Album . Real BM are from 80-90 from Norway every thing after that are just copy . The Best BM are made in Norway ther is a few new BM bands from Norway as Troll

I know. Wish he was still with Morbid Angel though.

Life Metal?! I don’t know about that..... Personally, all my favorite bands are fairly dark. Those dark and depressing places spawn some of the best creativity. I find most super positive music boring, and lacking depth.

Agree!

@@timreigns6099 Me too! He's actually a born again Christian now and has renounced his work with Morbid Angel...such a waste. ;/

Joshua Jackson , I know....it’s pretty sad. He was a beast, and definitely one of the greatest metal drummers ever! Even by today’s standards, few can match him without “electronic help”😂

Pass, it's the edited MTV version.

Vin and Sori will see the video and probably call Morbid Angel a terrorist band after seeing that video

Yeah, the video is cut short. The fast section before the outro is taken out. A nice enough visual, but the full version must be listened to first.

Bad thing about the video is that the song is shorter.

Should of been their first song reviewed.

Agreed, but with this one they should have watched the Music Video. ha ha

Chapel of Ghoul is sooooooo overused, Morbid has way better songs.

@@morbidxoneq2013 Yes they do and God Of Emptiness is one of them, but since they are just getting into the band for the first time it's the way to go.

Doubt they'd ever react to an actual old school death metal song.

You can't go wrong with the first 4 morbid angel albums

What versions ? 1986 versions could be interesting for the foundation of genre

It could be but I immediately think of Blessed are the Sick album versions. That was the second Morbid Angel album I got after Covenant.

Any Carcass song would be great...and yes...even anything from Swansong.

@Erick Tyson Hey, to each their own. Reek is great stuff, but I find that each of their albums have their merits. Hell, Keep on Rotting In the Free World was the first Carcass song I ever heard. That lead me to Heartwork which lead me to Symphonies and the uglier stuff. I don't think any of the material is greater or better. I take each album for what it is and find it all pretty satisfying.

Carcass - Vomited Anal Tract.

Cadaver pouch convenior system

i agree. i think both verses are the devil.

Yes. Blessed are the sick.

The illusion of freedom given by satan is a trap.

When you look at the album, it says pt. 1: the accuser and pt. 2: the tempter but they are probably using KZfaq or internet radio

whoa! was that a bear?

I love Morbid Angel and Death Metal on the whole but I get why this would be boring to the uninitiated. It isn't fast and flashy. It is technical but in a very slow, sludgy way and the song doesn't really go anywhere. The riffs aren't that interesting to go on that long. The song just trudges on longer than it needs to be. I still like it but certainly not one of their most interesting ones, especially to a noob.

100% (lol had to edit.. 10%?? :P hehe) agree. This song is about atmosphere.. a dark, sludgy atmosphere. This would be Death Metal's interpretation of Doom Metal... at least in my opinion.

I know, right? She also said it wasn't heavy. Like...what?!

@@whythatspreposterous Not heavy? What a joke. Man, if the song was any heavier it would shift the Earth's rotation axis... I think she confuses being heavy and being fast.

@@AxLWake lmao that’s true 😂🤘🏻

Sori *ALWAYS* misses the point. 😖

In a weird way, I see especially that era of Savatage as the 'Queen' of heavy metal, I even got a non-metalhead friend to like Savatage.

Absolutely! SAVATAGE are my second favorite band next to QUEEN and I always tell everyone that they are the “Queen” of Heavy Metal.

One of my all time favorites

YES!

In S.A.?... prob not.

RIP Hastings

Covenant is a great album. So is Blessed are the Sick and Domination.

sebastian quiñones the lions den also

Metal existed before cookie monster , what age are you ? 15 ?

@@Nissardpertugiu Cookie monster was introduced in 1966, so there was actually no metal bands back then, since metal was created by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, anyways, I was joking, since all great bands like Morbid Angel, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Monstrosity, Autopsy, and many other amazing death metal bands have that style of vocals

demon916 and dismember also good choice.

Left hand path!!!!!!

Bloodbath too

Honestly that’s a great song, but I like humanure and forced gender reassignment better

Right??? 😖 These two showed how out of touch they actually are. Just amazing. They don't *DESERVE* to understand the Grandiose Wisdom of 'Covenant'.

If you like any death doom go check out winter and mythic good shit

Right! Deicide first two albums are just as essential as Morbid Angel for death metal.

They've done deicide guys, twice even

@Donavon Howard untie this world of satan you know it can't be done!!! Brutally awesome

Only guy i know in DM that is sponsored by Harley!!! Dead by Dawwwwwn!!!

Lmao!

Flemming did Rainbow as well and others

Now I know why this MA album sucks now... thanks

Gateways is a masterpiece death metal album along with decides legion album.

🤘

Featuring Glen Benton on chorus vocals.

@@RobbKong999 fukking right it does! During a brief time when there were guest backing vocals on a lot of tunes. Glen is even on "Meathook Sodomy" by Cannibal Corpse

@@KastleKrossface My favorite in that regard would either have to be "Vomit the Soul" (Cannibal Corpse, Butchered at Birth) or "Unfit Earth" (Napalm Death, Harmony Corruption).

chapel of ghouls

lol this was a great comment. Expand on it my boy

@@VinAndSori OK… what makes this particular MORBID ANGEL album so classic and powerful, is the extreme amount of focused Satanic energy and intention that the three members were able to conjure. 1993's 'Covenant' must be taken in wholly. Drummer Pete Sandoval is one of the innovators of fast double-bass and blast-beat drumming, just not on this song, which is one of the band's most relaxed and slowest. Guitarist Trey Azagthoth stripped down his riffing style into something dark and monolithic, with solos that sound like demons screaming into the ears of the listener from another dimension. Vocalist/Bassist/Lyricist David Vincent utilized Christian concepts as song titles ("Rapture", "The Lion's Den", "Vengeance Is Mine", etc.) and then in true Satanic fashion, twisted each concept into something self-serving, away from the will of God. In the liner notes, he thanks Nietzsche, De Sade, Caesar Caligula and other "truth-seekers", so his mindset at the time was one of cold, calculating, Anti-Christian philosophy, even using the unprinted word "untermensch" in the lyrics for "World Of Shit (The Promised Land)", in reference to those unworthy to inherit the Earth. Regarding the lyrics, let's break them down. "Lies… And you fill their souls With all oppressions of this world And all the glory you receive? So what makes you supreme?" Clear enough. David Vincent is accusing God of being the Great Oppressor, requiring worship from the same humanity that he sadistically torments. "Lies… And your crown is falling I offer fantasy, and you Creator Are blind with envy" As humanity's belief in him wanes, God's crown falls. Satan/Lucifer offers "fantasy" as an escape from the suffering of cruel reality, which again, God is directly responsible for. "Let the children come to me Their mother loves me, so shall they Woman bleeding ate my gifts Man was close behind" Who are the children? Humanity itself, as their figurative mother Eve is referenced, who loves Satan/Lucifer. She's bleeding, which is a reference to her female menstruation, and/or to the aftermath of being violated and thus impregnated by Satan/Lucifer, the father of Cain in some doctrines. Adam, intrigued by what he doesn't yet know, also partakes of Satan's/Lucifer's divine gifts. "Just like a snake I'm slithering Through my world divine And like a cat I'm stalking I'll take your soul and you'll be like me In emptiness" The snake is clearly the Serpent in the Tree Of Knowledge Of Good & Evil. As for the cat, I'd say that's a reference to 1 Peter 5:8… "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." The full lyrics in the booklet say: "In emptiness, free"… it's clearly not God speaking, but Satan/Lucifer, offering liberation from the confines of God's morality via "fantasy" and "emptiness", granting the space for unlimited potential. According to David Vincent, Satan/Lucifer isn't bound to anything, hence his vast emptiness and ultimate freedom, which David sees as preferable to being filled with the Holy Spirit. Everything about 'Covenant' is an inversion of Biblical concepts, done in a way to undermine its theology in favor of Self-Worship to further the coming of the Übermensch. Within the Death Metal genre, it's a work of High Art, and for many the band's greatest album.
