What's your favorite track off the album?
All of them.
easily "where the slime live". we used to have competitions with my mates on who could make it sound even more horrible (in a good way) on guitar
Caesars Palace for me. It’s a bit of a hit or miss album but I do like some of the more out there songs on it. Inquisition is a good one too
Dawn of the Angry... But "Caesars Palace" and "Eyes To See, Ears to Hear" are right up there.
WHERE THE SLIME LIVE
Consider the greatness of 1995...Domination, Once Upon the Cross, Symbolic, Pierced from Within, etc etc...a legendary year for death metal...
Exactly. All in my personal taste peak records for those bands; not necessarily their "best", but usually their most intensely creative.
The riffs on "where the slime live" have been stuck in my head for years.
There's a false fact here: Dan Muro did not do the cover artwork for Formulas, but merely did the Triumvirate of the Continuum diagram inside the liner notes. The cover artwork was done by Nizin Lopez, who also did the artwork on the band's "Angel of Disease" shirt from the Domination tours.
Thanks for saying this, true, Nizin Lopez did the artwork for FFF and he deserves recognition for he is an amazing artist.
Jesus Christ the way MTV used to shake the camera around.
it's fucking unbearable
I would love to hear Korns version of god of emptiness.
This album came out when I was in 8th grade. It was the 1st morbid angel cd that I bought. I Loved the album. I was a "90s teenage hesher.
We are two peas from the same pod my friend. 🍻
Finding this album was a real eye opener for me, as I was new to the metal scene. This made me feel like I was finally home.
I will never forget when He screams, "WE WILL DOMINAAAATE!" at the end.
Fun Fact that you missed: as fans of ECW, they would play concerts in some ECW shows, David was even friends with the wrestler Raven.
Another missed fact:
The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrash) are mentioned in the credits.
I never knew that, awesome
@Eric Eric he wore ecw shirts on stage. I remember seeing them live in 1995. First time I ever heard of ecw.
Lee Torry What!? I missed out on that. Is there any footage on youtube?
I wish I never saw this post, trey likes wrestling?? Noooooooooooooo
"Pete had to slow down on partying"
May 7th 1999, Lorain Ohio, Morbid is playing a show for the FFF tour. It's a pretty small place, small enough that everyone knew they had to have gotten tricked into playing it. Literally like a 300 max occupancy building.
The tour bus was already there when I got there at 7. Doors open at 8. Maybe 30 mins after I get there this jalopy rolls in and whoever was driving it was driving like an idiot. Everyone standing in line is making jokes about it, etc.
Guy gets out of the car. Jeans and leather jacket. Long, curly hair totally disheveled and looks like he hasn't had a bath in days.
Guy comes stumbling across the parking lot. SERIOUSLY stumbling. Drunk af. I'm standing pretty close to the door and a couple guys come out and go meet him halfway across the parking lot, then literally do the cross-arm thing like when you help someone with a broken ankle walk to get help. They help him inside.
Fast forward 3 hours - that drunk guy who needed help walking to get in the building was Pete The Feet and he absolutely murdered it during their set.
I just stood 3ft away from Trey and stared trying to figure out the few parts of guitar riffs I was having trouble figuring out....
One of the best shows I ever went to, simply because it was such a great band in such a tiny venue. That was the 2nd of 6x I've seen Morbid.
Saw them 4 times on this tour. My mates saw Pete was injecting something back stage. Glad he's clean and on a good path now.
Yeah, isn't it like sooo crazee that there ARE the "COMMANDOS" , Doc from VADER (RIP 😔) the Dominator from Dark Funeral etc. that could just party their azz OFF and get UP on stage and SLAY their drums like nuttin?!?! It obviously can catch up to some of em but, maaan.... THAT'S WHY they ARE the innovators, I guess .... Doesn't saprize me about Pete actually...At ALL....IK he HAS battled addiction off n on throughout the decades. He's gotta be doin way better THESE days as he's playing with Vincent now, in I AM MORBID...Almost 60 years old and touring, and PLAYING THAT stuff like it AIN'T NUTTIN! 😳🥁..... Again? Hailz COMMANDO! 🥁🤘🔥🤘
C. Rackrock- Yeah, 99 was the SAME year Morbid played the San Antonio Death Fest and FINALLY, the 1st time I got to see Morbid play live 😏... Being an aspiring DM drummer at the time too, I was "over the moon" that I got to finally meet Pete Sandoval and BS a bit with him ,get my stuff signed etc. Pete also was on stage pre concert, and soundchecking his drums and just FLYIN around the kit and single 🦶 blastin "putting on a show" for an easy 15-20 minutes 😏. And, I obviously WAS, ALREADY, pretty amazed (and I HAD seen my share of DM/BM concerts and drummers by then, believe me) And of course, their Formulas show WAS also, amazing, playing LOTTA the album and the others but, in usual Morbid LIVE form, like waaay faster than the originals ya hear on the CD.... Yeah maann...GOOD times , GOOD TIMES 😏😎🤘🔥🤘
@@AFrames763Back in the heyday of death metal there was a rumour that all the drummers were regularly amped on meth. Not sure if true, but wouldn't doubt it. Particularly the bands from Florida lol 😅
That album is amazing. Dawn of the Angry, Caesars Palace, This Means War, Nothing but Fear. What an innovative record.
Best part of this album is the juxtaposition of Rutan and Azagthoth imo. Rutans solos were very melodic, ordered, and utilized space while Azagthoths lines were wild, chaotic, and often atonal. Similar to the mustaine Friedman dynamic in solo sections. Rutans songs were also a great addition to the record and were effective in retaining the morbid sound. Not my fav morbid record but a ripper with some really great songs.
My favorite parts is the absolute cheesy, campy charm that exudes from this misunderstood masterpiece while taking themselvse very serious while being absolutely perfect in balancing accesability with aggresive brutality.
Rutan wrote the best songs on this album.
Another fun fact that was left out. The guitar riff that inspired Korn from Angel of Disease was originally written in 1986 for the Abominations of Desolation demo.
The album is a long-time favorite. I just love Morbid Angel.
That neon green was a huge theme with them, the ibanez, the slime ect. Love it
EXTREME MUSIC FOR EXTREME PEOPLE
Even wimped-down Morbid Angel is too scary for the deathcore kiddos lol
Putting Erik in the lineup was like putting a turbo in a V8.
This video is all killer, no filler. Refreshing to see when so many videos would take seven minutes just to finish setting up the backstory and apologizing for not updating sooner
I freakin love this segment! I hope eventually every landmark death metal record appears here!
I bought this album not to long after it came out. I was just getting into metal and I had not heard of Morbid Angel. I was looking to try something different. I saw Domination and decided to take a chance on it. I bought the CD purely because of the album cover. Needless to say I was not disappointed. I was completely blown away the whole experience.
Where The Slime Live is always gonna be in my heavier playlists and this CD will always be at the top of my shelf in my CD collection.
That was the first album that got me into MA.
I walked into a mom and pops CD shop in Dallas and was looking for something cool.
I bought this CD solely for the album cover and band name.
Many many years later i own all MA music and still listen to it this day.
Such a great band with awesome members throughout the years.
Thanks Morbid Angel.
Thanks Jesus.
Each album sees to haves it's unique sound.
What debate. This album is sick af.
jeh u mad?
Domination was pretty much Morbid Angel's "Black Album", its them at their most corniest and brightest/accessible.
The black album? How dare you, them fightin werds rite dere.
jefha not as cute as your mom 👉🏻👌🏻
Best album from Morbid Angel imo.
A highly underrated album, in my opinion. It gets a lot of flak for being overproduced, and that’s understandable. However, I think the quality of the songwriting saves it. Certainly not the greatest installment in Morbid Angel’s discography, but it’s definitely one of my favorites.
I bought a copy of the cd for $7.00 at my local video game store. I think it has a couple of the heaviest riffs of the era.
This álbum marked me forever.
Can’t wait to see them!!!
got it on vinyl and cd,,topp 10 metal albums from the 90s for me
Very interesting and enjoyable! Thanks!
Am I the only one who wants to hear KORN covering GOD OF EMPTINESS? It's probably great in it's own way.
Points for Morbid Angel forever being a massive influence!
Didn't Trey dedicate his "DOMINATE" solo to EVH.. ?
That would've made another lil fact.
One of my faves in Death Metal!
Kinda ironic the videos says the band (after the success of Covenant), didnt want to do Covenant part 2 since Formulas Fatal to the Flesh is essentially Covenant part 2.
Gateways to Annihilation fkn SMOKED and also saw the return of Erik. Album rulz
Couldn't help but notice in this video, but Pete Sandoval using TWO triggers per each tom 🤔 (at least, DK about kicks or snare but...) Being a now retired old school drummer myself, I can't help but wonder , WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT?...Wow. 😦 ....And yeah, what a time for Death Metal 😏. LOTTA people say that it was the time that Death Metal was OUT or? ON IT'S WAY OUT during the mid 90s etc....I guess "me, myself and I" didn't know it , Lol. 🤘🔥🤘
Where the Slime Live and Eyes to See, Ears to Hear. I used to drum the two bar phrase in Slime that ends with the two china cymbal hits and wretched guitar feedback at Guitar Center to see if anyone was worthy to know what song it was. Just once did it click with someone.
Nothing But Fear is a Rutan masterpiece. Killer album!
piece of history
I've Seen 'Em Live For This Album Tour (Milan [It] - Rainbow Club)!!! I Was 16 YO!!! LOL!!! I Remember Screamin "Haterwork" After Each Pause!!! I Also Remember That I Saw Somebody With Bleedin Face Comin Out Of The Mosh Pit!!!
Well, that settles that. I’ll take the Trey albums over anything else.
Covenant is one of the best death metal albums ever
one of the biggest albums in DM and for sure best album from MA
I can hear where Aeon get their influence from (sound wise)! \m/
ALBUM OF ALL TIME!
Best album from Morbid Angel!
1:37 Deftones as well! Root has the same riff kind alike!
yoooooo steve and trey\m/ we did shiow on this tour!was great time!i got some old pics man!steve i reallly was glad to see you still onboard and touring bro!trey \m/ miss seeing you guys on raod!@hate and cleveland and tommys\m/ we had great convos /times in this place!yip i got my og 90s rg ibanez 570 and universe 770 owns its still my fav guitars besides my 7 string custom ibanez iron label\m/emg ect!\m/tommy hated @cleveland ohio\m./

Imagine if David sang the way he did on Covenant with Rutan and Trey's guitar onslaught! The vocals are the only thing that let this album down and David has not been the same person since Covenant.
I think he sounded best on covenant too but for some reason I think the change worked well for the domination sound
It's their best album..
One of there best albums
This band is real death metal
I could be wrong but the artist who did the Formulas album was not the same guy. That guy also did Serpents of the Light.
The guy from MTV who filmen must have been drunk. I’m sea sick after 30 second clips
that's how everything was filed in the 90s man, it was a weird time
Make our past become our future... Once more!
6:30 HIS industrial metal act? The one he joined 6 years after they formed?
You must mean the band Davetorturers. And their debut album 120 Days of Davetorture. He's on the album cover, can't miss 'im.
It was his girlfriend's band, if I am not mistaken.
Caesar's Palace (We must return our former king to his rightful throne).
No One:
David Vincent DRINKIN, DRINKIN, DRINKKKKKKKKIN!
Ghouls and that basss line
Which lyrics did Dave change when singing live?
Genitorturers are not "David Vincent's industrial side project". Its his wife Gen's band.
In fact I am pretty sure she started the band before she met David.
They're divorced but yes, it was her band first.
Trey didn’t like that album for Shit, you guys really need to see his 1998 interview when he slandered the album for sounding “so stale and digital that it pisses me off” I really doubt he ever mentioned anything good about that album after Vincent left in 1996. It would be more believable if he was to say the supposed quote about the FFF album because that fits the description much more accurately than domination does
Yeah in some of those same interviews Trey discusses Vincents apparent racism, weird how those MI "journalists" didnt catch any of that.
@@michaelhenderson7225 fun fact: Vincent once pissed off Kreator when they where touring because of David questioning why they were mad about Nazi's attending concerts.
There was a rumor that David creeped out Lemmy when he was given a white nationalist book.
@@leetorry It's not a rumor. Lemmy stated that in an interview.
@@TheReincarnatedDeath which one
The whole toxic slime package thing is metal af
Altars of madnesss
I cut my metal teeth on this album but Blessed are the sick FTW
Yeahhh bro Conquering the Throne was a brutal fkn album
Hey metal fuuuck yeah!
And coming in at number 26 of Things you NEVER KNEW about Morbid Angel: David Vincent's purported side job as a male escort before joining MA, and his sugar daddy Mark Anderson at Goreque Records (source: Mike Browning!) ! LOL
Sullivan Knoth Was he a “cowboy” back then, too?
lol bro are you in the riffposting group on facebook?
@@kingquhzk5143 I am
@@diabeticmonkey You better believe it. A Ram Ranch Regular! LOL
@@sullivanknoth6430 fuckin knew it! mike with his stories lol
Hail Morbid Angel The Ancient Ones rule once more!
ive always been interested in the fact theyre albums are alphabetical ordered titles
ive never heard another person comment on this
any ideas?
It's just true. Like there are easter eggs on the releases. It's an old tradition among album releases throughout the decades. Nothing more.
Interesting
altars through formulas is just untouchable even today. landmark run of albums. gateways and heretic have their moments though. kingdoms is ok. illud is a mixed bag. blades for baal and some others are ok second half of the record is cringe.
I think Gateways is better than Domination. In fact I think it's probably better than Formulas as well.
Heretic is poor, but I do really like Kingdoms.
I love ILLUD, I think the biggest issue however is that it *IS* a Morbid Angel album. If they had released it under something other than Morbid Angel, it would've been better recieved, I think.
@@steemonkey2000 I also believe Gateways is better than Formulas, I actually love it about as much as Domination and Blessed (Covenant and Altars are my favorite). I still think Gateways is one of the best death metal albums of the 21st century. Trey's guitar tone on the album is fantastic!
DeathMetalRob
Altars of Madness was the best album of 1989 and is still my favorite. It came out before both Obituary & Deicide debut albums.
Maze of Torment, Blasphemy, Bleed For The Devil, etc....
Illud is the only really hated album and it deserves that
ΤΗΙS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!
Rutan means "the quadrat" in swedish. It's very important.
Best album they ever wrote
Are you sure about that?
@@tazblizzard 100%
@@TacoCrisma "Taco Crisma" Lol 😆 Love it 😆😏😎🤘🔥🤘
the kongs !!!
Everyone always blame David for everything, but I think Trey is the culprit of the band troubles most of the time (specially in IDI)
Agreed.
Just look at the MOST recent Trey videos on UA-cam etc.
I like the first
erik rutan is great guy!and im steve tucker liker as far as ma goes and singer/bass in general!\m/ma \m?
burn with m,e or hateeeeeeworksssssss\m/
"Bended"
I remember and article about Thulean Perspective by this Very "Publication".....and here we are talking about the Slime........so just who are the slime? and are they the lowest forms of life?.
Trey said he didn't like that album full stop.
Best MA album
Being Dave's brother I can say he was gifted with prayer 🙏, so when he came off as a Satanist, it wad fraud. I told Metal Hammer about this...
When he played shows he was Evil D; when he came back home he was baby D. He was happy when he played with Morbid Angel.
Anyway, I am definitely full of crap. Check out my band morgAtory
25 sentences about Morbid...
Story of death metal easy!!
Yeah this album doesn't go as far with the lovecraftian themes as the first three releases did. It is lyrically one of the worst representations of what MA is about, but is simultaneously the best in actual musical creativity. It's still one of my favorite albums to listen too.
they should invent at least 5 more letters so you could praise this album adequatly. klingon would do.
1:35 Not true. Dave wrote plenty of songs for the first 3 albums and Richard wrote Desolate Ways.
Worth noting that Dave is also credited for some of Mike Browning's work
The narrator sounds just like Scott Ian anyway great video long live Morbid Angel😈👿😠😡😑😑
Awesome album. Gets too much crap from gatekeepers, just because it's somehow on the "albums you have to dislike if you wanna be a TRUE metalhead"-list.
Yeah the elitest metal heads really piss me off sometimes. To them everything has to be a sacred and objective fact of true cult status.. These are the same people that complain when the production is too crisp and clean and you can hear all the intricacies of all the instruments. It's almost as if the music is second to following the formula. They are a bunch of posers if you ask me.
Dawn of the Angry!
Nothing is more metal than packaging toxic, deadly slime with your albums.
Wtf is up with the camera at 4:35
Just the typical 90's MTV shit.
extreme before 'x-treme' ;)
Korn is known for being heavily derivative . There was a band out of Bakefsifled called Juice fronted by Brian Armour an old friend of mine who did that style of vocals before Johnathan came and stole it . Yes I was a part of the Bakersfield pro musician circuit for a while so I have inside p.o.v. on how fake Korn had always been .
Always thought Domination was the bands weakest record (Until 2011 obviously). It just seems like it was built for the Pantera crowd. Slow, groove influenced death metal.
It's an OK record but nowhere near the level of the first 3 records or even the two that followed it.
Reprogrammed drum machines... Sounds like Mortician.
exactly what i was thinking
That's what I thought too. Fast drum machine in death metal in the 90s? Almost definitely Mortician
Covenant is the greatest Death Metal and possibly Metal record of all time. I don't know why Trey allows boobs like Vincent and Rutan so much artistic creativity in the band since he himself can write records that are so seminal and phenomenal.
I love Trey but have to disagree, there's a fucking energy when those 2 come together on Domination and Gateways. Morbid Angel would still destroy with or without Eric but those albums are spcial for his contribution.
They didnt mention how the album was supposed to have slime on the outside of the jewel case of the cd. Inside the plastic wrap
I prefer altars of madness
Covenant might be the best selling album but is boring to me. Everytime I try to listen to it I switch over to Altars of Madness.
