Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation
Interesting. A slower pace isn’t what I was expecting from Morbid Angel. But then again, neither was a tour opening up for those shitstains, Pantera. That disgusting fact aside, this is a great (and don’t get me wrong, it’s often fast, too) album, although perhaps not quite as flawless as some members of the Metal Curse staff would claim. New growler/bassist Steve Tucker really comes into his own with this release, even writing some music as well as most of the lyrics, and as insane as it might sound to long time fans, I really can’t say that I miss David Vincent at all. Certainly anyone reading this must understand how unnecessary it is to even mention the awe inspiring drumming and guitarwork, but since this blasphemy machine has had a few less-than-memorable moments in the past, I’m glad to say that the occasionally slower tempos, combined with less technical riffs (which doesn’t exactly mean simple) and more repetition thereof, has made this album the band’s most consistently memorable in quite some time.
