Morbid Angel was formed in 1984 by guitarist Trey Azagthoth in his home of Tampa, Florida, because he wanted to elevate "the standards of the rapidly proliferating death-metal genre." Azagthoth brought his band over to England for a few shows with Napalm Death, and soon they were signed to Earache Records, a label designed to expose the true underground scene of heavy metal. Often called sick, brutal, disgusting, and energetic, Morbid Angel eventually got a deal in America when Earache was distributed by Relativity Records. The band, although still underground, has become a major influence for bands in Florida (where there are many death-metal bands) and other parts of the USA, as well as Europe. If you like your death-metal fast-paced, furious, and satanic, I would say this is the band to go for.
