Oh yes we were. Fucking lapped it up along with all the other fresh Death Metal goodness from Obituary and Sepultura and Pestilence and Autopsy and Bolt Thrower and Carcass. We were young and living through the explosion of a completely new form of music, that doesn't happen very often and I feel massively privileged to have been alive and open and turned onto this music. Truly glorious time in musical history.
@@MarkPJordan dont get me wrong, there were plenty of strong death bands around the same time. I'm just saying MA brought some SOUL into the scene. You can groove all day to Obituary and Bolt Thrower, but MA sounded like the soundtrack to hell itself, very unique for the time.
@@dl719 I think what I'm saying is those bands had us primed for MAs moon landing in 1989, they were the next evolutionary step at the right time. They were such a different animal, streets ahead of their peers in terms of technicality and instrumental prowess, only Atheist, Cynic, Atrocity were in the same class. Fucking great time for music.
Your right. This band and album was SO over the top in '89!!! No other band was doing anything remotely as vicious or close to Morbid Angel! If you haven't heard this album yet, and you are a death metal fan. Then, give this album a spin. The Ghouls await your arrival in the chapel.

Morbid at their ferocious best...no fucking cellphones either. Sounds SO good. Band in their prime and killing it 💯 😎 I am 51 yrs young and still love this!
Yeah no arguments here. Not even with line up changes but Richard brunelle had all the issues that stopped him from touring soon after this, and eventually ended with him leaving!
They were off the charts in 1989, so driven, musically drilled, hungry for domination, totally in charge of their instruments and ambitions and firmly ensconced at the spearhead tip of a fresh musical genre.
As a guitarist i can hear the mad genius in Trey's writting and playing. I read an interview where he layed out his process and a lot of times wrote things that were faster than a human drummer could physically play. Insane speed and accuracy across the board
Being 25 I can only imagine what it was like for the people on here looking at this now when they were my age or younger. You guys lived through an entirely different era of music altogether I’ve been to backyard gigs, small club venues and large concert halls/arenas and fests and nothing comes close to this energy hella jealous of y’all for being able to live it while it was all fresh. 🤘🏾❤️
im getting older now though didnt see this tour lived through god knows how many gigs in the early nineties saw morbid angel a few times but death metal is alive and well with the likes of undergang and mortiferum but this here is special stuff!
That's the first time I've heard a younger person make that point, although I've thought about it a zillion times. I had a lot of fun at punk/HC shows in the 90's, but nothing will compare to the atmosphere of the giant shows i saw in the 80's. The shows acted like beacons for hidden army's. Trains packed with denim clad headbangers and ghetto blasters coming form the North, South and West. City streets would be taken over by walking armies, (your army) marching in step, prouder than at any other time, to=be=a=headbanger.
Yeah sorry, but you're never going to see extreme metal or punk shows like we had back in the 80s, those days are long gone. I went to loads of shows like this, so my regrets are different - I'm sorry I never got to see The Doors play live!
I was there, this was the day before my 22nd birthday. This was the Earaches Grindcrusher tour with Napalm Death headlining followed by Morbid Angel, Bolt thrower and Carcass. I still had some hair back then, Fucking loved Morbid Angel ever since this gig!
Set list, for interested parties: 1. Immortal Rites 2. Suffocation 3. Visions from the Dark Side 4. Maze of Torment 5. Chapel of Ghouls 6. Trey's Guitar Solo 7. Bleed for the Devil 8. Damnation 9. Blasphemy 10. Lord of All Fevers and Plague (Encore) 11. Evil Spells (Encore)
So... correct me if I'm wrong. But the guy at 3:05 got up on stage, grabbed a handful of Richard's arm/pit sweat, rubbed it onto his jacket, and got back into the pit. Why the fuck would you grab Richard's arm sweat when you have Trey Azagthoth literally standing twenty feet away....!?
This is the best Morbid Angel line up with belated Richard Brunelle as second guitarist. I usually get very confused with the songs and the sound when I listen the new line ups. Without David Vincent Morbid Angel sounded like a completely a different band. Now that Pete Sandoval had left. I really missed the origin sound of these guys.
This so important for the whole metal/music scene. This was a time when music mattered. I was 16 and saw them in Sweden later on because we've heard about this gig thru tapetrading and snailmail. Rise unholy ones! 47 2day and STILL get the same feeling. All hail death metal.
Seen Morbid Angel on their 'Covenant' tour back in the 90s with 'Samael' supporting at the now closed Newcastle Riverside UK. Miss the David Vincent days, but their new vocalist Steve Tucker is equally as good. Cracking venue Rock City as well, travelled down there a couple of times to watch Sepultura, then later Fear Factory.
I know he cut himself in the early days live, plus he has a massive indentation on his right arm from slamming the whammy bar so hard. I've chatted with him twice and up close it looks really warped.
The grindcrusher compilation was my introduction to morbid angel and so many other bands. Had just gotten into metal as a teen and saw the grindcrusher casette, thought the band and song names sounded heavy, turns out i was right!
Imo anybody that are the masters of early death metal are the masters of all of death metal by default😂 I don't care if there are more extreme sounding bands in the genre. The riffs, the drumming and these ghoulish, raspy vocals on Altars make it my favorite DM album of all time. There is a particular presence/aura early MA captured that few bands ever achieve.
I was all set to correct the year on this, because I have vivid memories of attending two Grindcrusher tour shows in April 1991, not 1989. But that was in the US. I had no idea there was a previous Grindcrusher tour in Europe. Apparently it only lasted 6 lousy days? The US tour was like three months! The shows I saw were all about GODFLESH.
Is it just me or pete is sometimes platying even faster than the records' speed? Trey can't even play all the notes in bleed for the devil's solos, haha..faster! faster!
One of my favorite morbid angel performance. Listened to them when i turned 20. Lets just say college was hard to focus on lol. The drummer was unreal!!!!!
Morbid Angel, Carcass, Napalm Death, and Bolt Thrower on the same bill, in 1989 too, holy shit this woulda been the show of shows. To be there woulda been amazing. I was 9 years then but shit I wish.
89 At that Time, I thought that Europe with Final Countdown,, is the heaviest band..... I was wrong, I was 9 back then, but who doesn't makes mistakes 🤘
Every time I listen to Altars of Madness, it feels like I'm being jerked around on an old rickety roller coaster, speeding through the depths of hell. Satan and his minions torturing the souls of the damned in every way imaginable while ghouls and conjured up apparitions lay chase to me with no end in sight. It's like Garfield's Halloween Special Rated X😂
I was there - napalm death didn't know the songs!: barny was pants, Carcass had shite sound ( as always) - Morbid Angel were the stand out. Soooooo long ago!

I saw this tour. Sooooo great. Ty
I loved the early morbid angel vocals
Them, Obituary, and Autopsy's older stuff too, I was lucky to grow up with these bands.
Same. One of the reasons Altars may very well be my favorite DM album.

Morbid FOREVER!

Brunelle, Vincent, Azagthoth, Sandoval!
Excellent sound, as the album!
Best fucking Morbid Angel gig found on youtube, no lineup or era surpasses this one, Altars and Blessed were the best IMO.
no debate.
Yeah no arguments here. Not even with line up changes but Richard brunelle had all the issues that stopped him from touring soon after this, and eventually ended with him leaving!
Treys got the old ironbird out too, thats just as much a member of the band as he is! Lol
This band had/has a craft and power, that many bands could never measure up too.
even those black metal fucktards from norway, these guys are hilerous. morbid angel was the fucking satanic shit back then
Audio is amazing, incredible.
Rafael Nobre it really is incredible!!! Through good headphones it absolutely smokes
Yes bro is incredible ✌🙋♂️
It’s amazing, like the recorded version in sharp relief. Somehow even more brutal without losing any definition.
Drums sound in particular is glorious. Really hard to find recordings that capture the real life experience so well.
It's an official concertvideo.
Morbid Angel in their absolute prime. The one and only line up in my opinion.
They were off the charts in 1989, so driven, musically drilled, hungry for domination, totally in charge of their instruments and ambitions and firmly ensconced at the spearhead tip of a fresh musical genre.
Cap as fuck the 1998 is on par with this lineup
My favorite lineup was with Eric Rutan, maybe because Domination is my favorite Morbid Angel album.
Richard Brunelle or NOTHING
Every iteration of MA is killer but the 1998 lineup with Rutan and Tucker is insane. They're on fire for the Formulas/Gateways tours
Never topped. What creative riffing and those drums are BRUTAL.
newer stuff is so incredibly boring next to this. I guess we won't see anything like this anytime soon sadly
@@Cenot4ph 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@CosmicAnimosty138dying fetus is trash
this live set helped me through some rough times
When they're playing maze of torment and they're all headbanging at the same time honestly such a fucking killer sight to see.
I'd like to go back and tell Dave about his country career
GrayWoIf drinkin with the devil hahahahaa
Not as cringe as that killa killa cop song lol
Me first idiot to jump off stage at 0:28.....happy days!
As a guitarist i can hear the mad genius in Trey's writting and playing. I read an interview where he layed out his process and a lot of times wrote things that were faster than a human drummer could physically play. Insane speed and accuracy across the board
What was the interview ? Was it in a magazine or on video?
@@Cooper-cs6dp it was in a Guitar World mag from 2011
@@roosternm6830 alright thanks! I’ve been trying to find how to learn to solo/write riffs in his style
@@Cooper-cs6dpBest way to learn how to write riffs in his style would be to learn how to play a metric fuckton of different Morbid Angel songs.

Rip richard... he put some brutal energy always! Never stopping headbanging.... have a nive trip man
David Vincent’s vocals never sounded better than this.
These vocals are definitely sick but I do prefer his post-smoking vocals more.
His vocals were best on the follow up blessed are the sick
Why does it suddenly sound like he has an Australian or possibly English accent when he talks in this video?
Eric Baum I noticed that as well.

At 20:46 perfect use of the flange effect just like the record.
Great sound and video, Morbid Angel Nottingham 1989-Napalm Death Live Corruption Uk 1990-Sepultura Live Barcelona 1991, the best 🤘 🍺
Altar of Madness the best Death Metal album
Death_Anthem close....souls to deny by suffocation
Houston from houston+ Fuck outta here, that aint even the best Suffocation album. Human Waste is the best material they put out
Blessed is better
Blessed is pretty close, but the production ruins it.
1000 процентов,dude)
They are so fkn good live.This footage is kick ass, right off the sound board, Dave's voice sounded great during this period.
3:00 lol that guy who goes on stage to pick up da sweat
Hahahaha no shit right....."uhhh I droped my pencil" goes on stage then quickly gets kicked off and pencil taken.
Pretty sure its was blood, not sweat
Its blood
Ice angel it’s common knowledge that Morbid Angel used to slice themselves before going onstage.
If it was really blood, i hope he never washed that jacket.
When will Morbid Angel release a DVD like Cannibal Corpse did with Centuries of Torment containing their history and live material?
Well this sounds EXACTLY like the studio version. That's pretty good!
Imagine bein some poseur in 89 and thinking hair metal is real metal, than getting dragged to this show by a friend

One of my favorite concerts, A part of my adolescense is Morbid Angel.
after almost 3 decades, Morbid Angel still continues to fascinate me !!
Trey completely SHREDDING his guitar to bits, that poor instrument. SAVAGE player. 🔥🔥
These were the real mother-fuckers at the concert, my fav. at least, and kudos to all others there as well.
Saw Morbid with Grip Inc . Pete and Dave on the same night. My chest hurt.
great album, listening from chile 27 / 12 / 2023 MORBID RULES !!!!
I love how the camera operator shows the bassist during the guitar solos. Lol

I was 25 months old back then. I was old enough certainly, and really regret it..... What was I thinking!!??
I notice how comments from foreign countries are about 30 years behind America.
Seen these guys twice. Once during the Dominate tour and Formulas Fatal tour
Esse album realmente estava à frente de seu tempo e é foda até hoje. Ficou eternizado na história do metal.
this is my favorite video of all time
Saw them with Nile few years back great FN show morbid and Nile were loud and raunchy
