This album has an atomsphere can't really explain, just amazing

It's a perfect blend of doom and death imo

It's because it has a classical feel to it. This album and formulas fatal, both have an orchestral sound. Try to imagine the guitar as violin, it's basically classical lol

Trey is a genius🤘

An unbelievable amount of death metal is inspired by jazz. Maybe not swing in particular but it's such an effective genre pull ideas from. Never noticed it in this song but I can def hear it now 😮😮

@@yungcrisisactor I thought classical but that makes sense too!

*Swing Jazz:* "...what the hell?"

Think of it like contemporary classical jazz and then you will get it

Was at that tour in Philly. The Extreme Steel tour it was June of 2001. Crazy thing is I had to travel to that one but just just 3 months before that I saw them with Pantera, Soulfly and NothingFace. At least Angel and Pantera were good that night.

Seen them but had Soulfly instead of SLAYER. MA were louder than PanterA!

guy'z trollin' XD

Drums are midi plug in!

@Darius Beaumont ? Pete played this one live more than once and at same speed, which is actually incredibly fast!

Let me clear up a few things. During this era, Pete used DDRUM triggers and modules exclusively. It is very apparent in this recording. All the drums are most probably triggered. With that said, I have seen MA when Pete was in the band still and except for the kick, the whole kit was mic'd up. Regardless of triggers, he plays fine without them. In regards to acoustic or electric sound drums for DM, I couldn't give a shit.

Def the best part of the song as well as the lyrics in my opinion ( obviously everything else is a.azing too)

I am to but this is better

@@SugarFreeWorldOrder Metal is about thinking for yourself. You can't do that if you're uneducated and ignorant. Study hard and go far, I would rather a death metal doctor than a fucking normie.

89.. late 80s

There were more than just MA and Death at that time. Bands like Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Venom, Possessed, Mayhem, Emperor, Pestilence,Deicide, Sepultura,Slayer etc .MA was also influenced by thrash and grind and even some hardcore punk in their early material, ( all extreme music)also of course older metal and classic rock.

@@aegisreflector1239 well yeah all early dm bands were influenced heavily by thrash

@@buckshotyankee8798 the demos started coming earlier

same bro xD

37 here :) \m/

I concur. This be a good tune

Summoning Redemption tho

Formulas Fatal To The Flesh

No way

Andy O Brien Formulas has more variety and the songs are Amazing, like Heaving Earth, Nothing Is Not, Umulmahri, Covenant Of Death. Invocation Of The Continual One is easily the best Morbid Angel song.

I just like the slow stuff better that Morbid Angel do , But what we can both agree on is that Morbid Angel is responsible one way or the other for the Best Death Metal Album Of All Time , Others say Covenant , more others say Blessed Are The Sick , you are saying Formulas , while I am saying Gateways . Its easily one of those

Andy O Brien Agreed.

It’s as catchy as an STD.

i play Morbid Angel when listening to Doom 😎

i was playing classic doom listening to MA right now!

Absolutely not...he just used triggers on some boom beats that's all

the albums before gateways were all very fast with irregular riffage, and gateways is slow and droning. though its supposed to be like ancient rumbling hymns, slow, thunderous, powerful

as far as I’m aware, everyone agrees that Gateways and Formulas are AT LEAST really good. I think Gateways is tied with covenant for their best album

How do u have to try.. u don't like Altars of Madness at all it's a lot different than this

@@damageinc-uo3zs I posted this a year ago hahaha. These guys have pretty much become one of my favorites. From blessed all the way to kingdoms its all phenomenal. Except for illud lol what a fucking embarrassment.

Morbid Angel was good to me but they didn't do much for me a few years ago. But now as I've matured and played in jazz and orchestra, they're fantastic.

with one foot

240 seems about right

@@quazihomelessemperor7137 with one foot? no way

You lucky bastard!

Motley Crue fans.

It sounds like a Belphegor song Years before Belphegor actually starts

Gutsfuck. yeah u know what vocals remind me of they remind me of shut the fuck up what behemoth boy morbid been around more then they have even though if this vocalist sound a little bit like the vocalist from behemoth .

Gutsfuck no im 28 and my fucken feelings aint hurt .

Where do you think behemoth got their Death metal sound from?

Jake Himelfarb wreck him bro it’s a serious influence on behemoth just listen to nergal

Morbid Angel is WAY older than Behemoth...this is their second or third vocalist

Yes

Well that's the biggest load of shit ive ever read

@@alexthomas4175 😂😂

Funny how I, as a dirty, evil sinner am more tolerant and open-minded than a holier-than-thou Christian😄 Look buddy, believe in God as much as you like, but you can still listen to cool music. You can still return to the realm of good music! If God does not accept me because of my musical taste, then God is a simpleton. I am not evil, I simply like the music. I don’t believe in any gods, but I respect your right to believe. Walk in Peace, brother. I am happy to keep my mind and my freedom. I am happy to exist. I don’t need to believe. I just need to exist. And occasionally, enjoy some kickass music🤘🏻

@@Rextum Yet this is perhaps the most closed minded response you could have given.

@@keyboardwarrior6296 Look in the mirror, buddy lol

Put yourself in the mindset of anyone who came to listen to this song and think: "Is some random person Bible-ing at me likely to change my mind or just seem preachy, out-of-touch, unwelcome, and tedious?" Alternately, if someone of another religion said this sort of thing to you, is it likely to change your mind? That's the thing about "do unto others as you would have others do unto you"

@@PeterJDeer do not matter of any ideologi you bear, atheist or else. But there exists a God, a creator or king who loves you. I used to think right like you, but Jesus loved me in my ruined life. But now I am free from every sickness, depression, addiction and tension of unknown future. You all are loved by him, no matter what these people say. But he was, he is and will for ever and also who body loved him and believed him for he Loved us guilty but paid for all with his pain and blood. Again saying, Return your mind. For God is coming. Saying an ex-metalhead, ex-atheist, ex-depressed, ex-addict. May God bless you.

@@suchandanghoshlazarus6189 yeah you see, you've not listening though You're assuming what I'm saying is "blah blah I don't believe in God" and so you're just saying more "believe in God!!! Jesus loves you!!1" You're going to some random death metal page (not even one of the "hail Satan" or "God is a lie" ones--you'd want "At One With Nothing" for that from this album, btw) and being Ned Flanders at random strangers. It doesn't convince *anyone*, if anything it associates Jesus with being annoying, ignorant, and preachy. It might shock you to learn I'm not against you, and in fact I am trying to help you succeed in talking about your religious beliefs with receptive people and appealing to their hearts and minds. But just like you wouldn't barge into a stranger's home with dirty feet and start talking their ear off, you wouldn't go to a death metal concert and just accost strangers trying to listen to music and preach at them in the mosh pit. It's not only a waste of time, but a counterproductive one that pushes people away rather than attracting them.

@@PeterJDeer I could tell you a lot of words about the past me. That how I ruined myself. My wested days in meaningless times in addiction, white paint in my face to join concerts that all fans do, blasphemy, how I tried to end my life to get rid of.............. I can't speak But then I never knew that there existing one who loved me most, whom I hated the most. Yes. God. No I am not shocked, I came here knowingly to share the good news, the message of love and Care and salvation. In the fields of my passed life, knowingly so many people will stand against me, so many will abuse me, that I used to do at a time. but nothing can hurt me. You may find me in multiple places of metal and many places sharing good news. Shareing the love I got to all past me. I will do until my breath ends. I know how these people are, that I used to be but I am salved, I am loved, I am saved. But I want to share this love to you. To you all. For none of you are hated but loved the most and welcomed for unending life. Brother you just don't know Jesus, how good he is, how great can he love, you just don't know, so you are against him. But my mind and life both changed when I known him. I was against him, but he loved me most. You all are loveable to him. Know that God who created you, for you are of him. Don't waste your times fot it is brief. Try to know that God, Know Jesus. Brother believe me that I am saying again JESUS LOVES YOU. RETURN YOUR MIND, FOR HE IS COMING. God bless you.

@@suchandanghoshlazarus6189 see, again *You. Aren't. Listening.* "Brother you just don't know Jesus" Yes, I do. "You are against him" No, I'm not. You aren't helping Jesus, you're just running around in circles yelling "JEEEESUUUUUS" at people. No one, certainly no reasonable person, is convinced of anything that way. It's obnoxious vanity, certainly not what you want to associate Jesus with.
