AOL's Noisecreep recently conducted an interview with bassist/vocalist David Vincent of Florida-based extreme metal veterans MORBID ANGEL. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On the band's new album, "Illud Divinum Insanus", which marks the group's first release to feature Vincent since 1995's "Domination":
"It's awesome, absolutely awesome. I just want the damn thing out, but it's hurry up and wait. That's the story of the business. I wish it was out immediately. We are doing special packaging for it, and that doesn't help my anxiety of wanting to get it out."
"We have grown out of the moniker of death metal. We call ourselves extreme music," he said. "There are too many boxes to put it in — so many descriptors! We play extreme music and it encompasses everything from incredibly fast and articulate fretboard gymnastics to the sickest, most moaning of riffs, to the usual things we do. We take it for a twist."
"We made a masterpiece. I am going to call it that. There is not one bad track on this record. Of course I am going to say that, but I don't normally say such things. It is very unique and very diverse. We didn't go through the normal channels with production, so it's that's much more special because of the decisions we made."
I was in a live chat earlier with Brent and Zach from Shinedown ....they have about 17 songs demoed and are looking to get a few more down before they record.....so they'll probably have it done by the end of the year.
Megadeth started recording their new album yesterday. Andy Sneap won't be producing this one, it seems.
I thought they already started?.... Maybe I'm confusing writing with recording, but a month ago I think I read something about them being almost done. Probably writing....

PERHAPS I SHOULD GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE
Also, I heard Moonlight Equilibrium and wasn't too impressed. Sounds like every other BDM song.....the production is cool, though.
But cool he joined the inspiration behind Sabbat
cant wait to hear what Mangini brings to the band
