		While the art of 'Altars Of Madness' was professional but still had an endearing, amateur quality, 'Blessed Are The Sick' was much darker and, in a way, more serious.
		Where 'Altars Of Madness' was a celebration of the metaphysical power granted by Satan, this album is quite worldly, celebrating sin not for it's strike against god, but for pleasure in and of itself.
		While Satan is the protagonist of 'Altars', crafting Morbid Angel into willing tools of his bidding, the band seizes control of its own destiny in 'Blessed', only worshipping a pantheon of H.P. Lovecraft's mythical demiurges for their own motives, not for an actual reverence of those powers greater than them.

		All in all, "Altars of Madness" is an almost perfect introduction to the world of death metal, and one of the most influential and essential albums of the genre.

		After their monumental "Altars of Madness" which used this technique to create ambient melody and rhythm, Morbid Angel used it for prog-rock precision in the details of their epic "Blessed Are the Sick."
		"Altars of Madness" evolved this technique into fast-picking and ambient relationship to beat, accentuating it with atonal lead guitars.
		"Altars of Madness" often sequenced seemingly jarring changes in the smoothness of compositional integration.

		Expecting Morbid Angel to release another Altars of Madness or Covenant is like anticipating the next Metallica album to sound like Master of Puppets or the upcoming Slayer platter to possess the unbridled intensity of Reign in Blood.
		Altars of Madness is the sensory equivalent of the self mutilation that adorns guitarist and founder Trey Azagthoth’s arm on his photo inside the album’s sleeve.
		Carving pentagrams into his forearm with a razor sharp blade wasn’t one of the healthiest means to channel the chaotic swirl of life’s emotional turbulence, yet it was an effort at catharsis nonetheless.

		‘Altars Of Madness’ was the album which made people sit up and take Death Metal seriously.
		Death’s 1988 album ‘Leprosy’ was the first to start refining this formula past its most basic, but ‘Altars Of Madness’ took it a step further.
		Although nowhere near as heavy as much of the Death Metal coming out today, ‘Altars Of Madness’ proved a valuable point at the time of its release, that brutality and skill need not be mutually exclusive.

		Some people insist that "Altars of Madness" was Azagthoth and Co.’s best album and they have never equaled it.
		"Altars of Madness" had redefined death metal, mashing death, thrash and speed all together in a vicious and original sound.
		The production on the CD is better than on "Altars", it has a looser, dirtier sound with more bottom end.

		And madness it is, with some superlative performances in all departments; now only if the songwriting was as good as on the next one.
		Although I wasn't much impressed with Morbid Angel's debut release, Altars Of Madness, the follow up to their initial offering still ranks in my mind as a masterpiece of songwriting and musicianship.
		On Altars, Morbid Angel, and lead guitarist Trey Azagthoth in particular, seemed to be trying to make a statement about how incredibly fast they could play.

		A mere two years later after the legendary authentic start of Death Metal with the godly album of "Scream Bloody Gore" by Death was released, a new band decided to come forth to make their presence known to the world of the underground.
		It's always survived the test of time in Death Metal no matter how many changes the scene has gone through, "Altars of Madness" is still competitive material with what Death Metal is recognized to be today.
		"Altars of Madness" was the album that came along later that hit everyone like a motherfucker and took no fucking prisoners as it destroyed all ear drums and made all ears bleed that heard it.

		Possibly the most influential and definitive metal album ever, Morbid Angel's 1989 debut Altars of Madness marked the advent of both death and fl metal in their most modern incarnations.
		This, coupled with the impossible speed and stealth of drummer Pete Sandoval, undoubtedly made a great impression on the minds of those Northern Europeans who were destined to become pillars of the infamous fl metal scene of the early 90's.
		Showcasing outstanding musicianship and a frightening sincerity in the message it conveys, Altars of Madness is an unrivaled classic that absolutely must be heard by anyone with even a passing interest in the evolution of extreme music.

		The Death Metal classic 'Altars Of Madness' back on vinyl for the first time in years.
		Such is the case with 'Heretic', where, stripped to a three piece, primal rage and unerring precision combine to slaughter the competition.
		The release originally planned for David Vincent's own label, prior to 'Altars of Madness', picked up by Earache and issued after the amazing debut.

	Morbid Angel Reviews at Lunar Hypnosis
		So I saw the re-mastered version of ‘Altars of madness,’ and never actually listened to the whole album.
		Okay this is probably not a very likely situation, but it probably wouldn’t take anyone much effort to realize what a waste of time this album is. Morbid Angel abuses the listener with fourteen hymns that range from boring to completely atrocious.
		Seriously what ever happened to the band that made such death metal classics like ‘Altars of Madness’ or ‘Covenant?’ Apparently at some point in time they decided to stop being imaginative and decided the best path to choose was a path of mediocrity.

		In the vein of genre crossing bands in the field of thrash and early death metal came one of the most monumental debuts from a band who is still making waves today.
		Morbid Angel burst onto the scene with Altars of Madness, a collection of 10 songs, which took the sounds of bans like Possessed and Death to the next level.
		There are several reasons why Altars of Madness still gets so much airtime on my speakers today, much more than the quote on quote “best metal albums ever period” such as Reign In Blood or Master of Puppets.
