MORBID ANGEL To Perform Entire 'Covenant' Album On Upcoming Tour[views:40083][posts:18]____________________________________ [Jul 14,2013 10:19pm - demondave ""] Florida-based death metal veterans MORBID ANGEL will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their best-selling album, "Covenant", by embarking on the "Covenant: 1993-2013" tour. In 1992, MORBID ANGEL was the first death metal band to be signed to a major record company (Giant Records/Warner Brothers) and "Covenant" was the group's first release for that label in the USA. The LP was released on June 22, 1993 and went on to garner great critical and commercial success. On the "Covenant: 1993-2013" tour, MORBID ANGEL will play the "Covenant" album in its entirety and, after a short intermission, some additional surprise classic cuts. Further, there will be special commemorative items produced exclusively for this tour. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=192478 Nov. 10 - Cambridge, MA - Middle East Nightclub Nov. 12 - New York, NY - Irving Plaza |

| _______________________________________ [Jul 14,2013 10:55pm - BeholdJudas ""] I'm torn. On one hand, Covenant is my favorite MA album. On the other hand, Vincent's voice is completely shot and Yeung is decidedly inferior to Pete in pretty much every way. Also, I will never fucking forgive them for Illud, so that's another strike against them. |

I thought MA were great at the palladium, but a classic album in entirety at a intimate venue with good sound quality? That sounds excellent. I imagine if it sells out in advance they'll add a second MA Cambridge date, since they aren't playing anywhere on the 11th. |

| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2013 10:08am - ark ""] by that i mean no sandoval and vincent is some sort of weird old latex man. i've seen them twice and yes they were good but i haven't seen them since their latest album. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2013 10:29am - Spence ""] I only saw them once, but they were great. The only thing that sucked was because Vital Remains was added, Morbid's set was shortened by 30 minutes. Speaking of OSDM, is anyone going to see Obituary in Connecticut on the 29th? |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2013 10:45am - ark ""] nope, i'll be watching life go by on mount tourist island, ME |
