According to Blabbermouth, During a brand new interview with Invisible Oranges, MORBID ANGEL bassist/vocalist David Vincent was asked whether it was weird to perform the band’s 1993 album, “Covenant”, in its entirety on the group’s current North American tour without MORBID ANGEL‘s longtime drummer Pete Sandoval.

“Nope. Not at all,” Vincent replied. “Tim‘s [Yeung, MORBID ANGEL’s current drummer] an excellent drummer. He handles the material very well. He was a big fan of the record when it came out, too. He’s a couple years my junior, but it’s cool. He feels the songs really well, and it’s fun.

Regarding whether Sandoval is still a member of MORBID ANGEL, Vincent said: “Pete‘s no longer in MORBID ANGEL.” He added: “His whole way of life has changed. He’s in a different spot, and the spot that he’s in right now, Pete Sandoval and MORBID ANGEL are not compatible.”

Pressed to elaborate on this supposed “incompatibility” between Sandoval and MORBID ANGEL, Vincent offered: “Well, [Pete] has found Jesus. You can see where the incompatibility comes from.”

During a chat with Brazil’s Som Extremo in October 2011, Sandoval was asked for his opinion about MORBID ANGEL‘s “controversial” new CD, “Illud Divinum Insanus”, which incorporates industrial and electronic elements into the band’s traditional death metal sound. “No comment! I don’t play on that album.” He was then questioned about what he thought he would have done different on “Illud Divinum Insanus” had he played on the record. “More exreme deathgrind metal and less DJ, boring awful typical I care less industrial experimental same as everybody boring bull!” he said. “This is not what MORBID has been all about! …Hmmmmmm, and I really care less…!”

Sandoval recently celebrated the 24th anniversary of TERRORIZER‘s classic album “World Downfall” by performing the LP in its entirety at several shows. He was joined at the gigs by Lee Harrison (MONSTROSITY) and Sam Molina.

WARFATHER: First Single From Ex-Morbid Angel Frontman’s New Outfit Now Slaying At Decibel, European Release Date For Album Confirmed

Earsplit PR has issued as follows:

As the eagerly-awaited debut recordings from ex-Morbid Angel frontman Steve Tucker‘s newest death metal outfit, WARFATHER, near release this Winter — collected on the faction’s war-ready full-length, Orchestrating The Apocalypse — the very first track from the band to be set loose upon the population is now slaying at Decibel Magazine.

Warfather

The third of twelve chapters of the Orchestrating The Apocalypse storyline, “My Queen Shall Not Be Mourned” is the perfect track to make a first impression of what the WARFATHER campaign is all-about. Tucker’s guttural bellow declares battle with the utmost urgency amidst a backdrop of searing guitar sweeps and scaleblazing leads, while a belittling salvo of technical blastbeatings systematically raze everything in earshot. “Though my queen has died, I will not mourn her loss. She has given me my future, my seed and my blood will live on…”

Prepare for the end with the appropriate death metal soundtrack with “My Queen Shall Not Be Mourned” at Decibel Magazine now RIGHT HERE.

Greyhaze Records has also confirmed the European release date for WARFATHER‘s Orchestrating The Apocalypse, unleashing it through Plastic Head Distribution on February 24th, 2014, just after the North American released date previously confirmed as January 21st. The new projectfronted by guitarist/vocalist Steve Tucker sees the man back to fronting a death metal outfit, over a decade after his departure from Morbid Angel, and over two years since his participation as a vocalist and writer in the well-received Nader Sadek project. After recruiting a crew of internationally-based executioners to complete the WARFATHER lineup, the band recorded the album at Cincinnati-based TME Studios, with Tucker handling recording duties, after which it was finalized at Maor Applebaum Mastering. With over forty minutes of material, Orchestrating The Apocalypse brutalizes in a relentless style that builds on the work laid on the three Tucker-fronted Morbid Angel albums — Formulas Fatal To The Flesh, Gateways To Annihilation and Heretic — delivering an intense, debilitating performance while infusing unique even bizarre atmospheric elements, elevating the album to a cutting-edge status.

Boston Death Metal force SCALPEL will provide support for MORBID ANGEL on the Cambridge, Mass. date of their 20th Anniversary of Covenant US Tour. The show is set to take place on November 10 at Middle East Downstairs. ABNORMALITY will also be appearing on the bill.Tickets are available directly through SCALPEL at www.scalpel.bigcartel.com.

SCALPEL‘s debut full-length, Sorrow and Skin, is out now via Sevared Records and available on Amazon, iTunes and other digital retailers. Physical copies coming soon.

The band recently teamed up with the folks at DeathMetal.org for the premier of album track “The Black Juices.” Stream the tune at this location.

Death Metal is a visceral art that is dependent upon the extreme dedication of its loyal fans. SCALPEL has no other purpose than to deliver a version of this art to those same fans whose lives have been claimed by the likes of SUFFOCATION, CARCASS, and DEATH. It is in this vein that SCALPEL constructs its own brutal dirges, devoid of genre restriction and with an eagerness to explore the darker realms of music. The band is rooted firmly in the old school aesthetic, vigilant to revive the gnarly riffage and macabre lyrical content of so many vicious death metal acts. SCALPEL creates its own art to be maddening and precise, to fulfill the connotations of its name.
