I'll make the appropriate changes re: Steve Tucker leaving and Jared Anderson joining when I can get some concrete date (year) on when that happened. Or, someone else can if they know.

Ignominious is in fact, not real. It's origin came to existence when it was posted as a torrent on a board, and was listed as 80 minutes. CDs cannot last 80 minutes. Also, the release has not been officialized by either Earache or Morbid Angel themselves.
- Thank you! I found it suspicious not being cited in their official site nor in the label's page. I should have noticed the weird title!!--Richard George 13:12, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Question
What do fans think of the album Gateways to Annihilation. It's the only thing I've heard from them and I thought it was aweful. I asked my english teacher about it (he was a fan and played with a Sacramento death meatal band called Psypheria) and he said that one album wasn't very good. I am not really a death metal person (I usually listen to hardcore punk and crust) and so I wanted to know if there was better Morbid Angel than that. I've heard some stuff that I think is death metal that I liked (ex: Napalm Death's new album The Code is Red). Is the rest of Morbid Angel's stuff better though?
- the only relevant morbid angel is Altars of Madness. Spearhead 10:22, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
try "Covenant" then "Domination" --62.205.126.127 14:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
ya covenant and domination are good
If you didn't like Ageless Still I Am or Summoning Redemption off Gateways, then Death Metal isn't for you. New Napalm Death is really more post-grindcore than Death Metal. By MA you should check out the albums these guys said, and by Napalm Death get Scum (their first album, one of the 3 best Grind albums ever)... you like Crust so I think you'll like it.
I only have Domination but it is quite good though not perfect. Dominate, Where the Slime Live, Eyes To See Ears To Hear, Dawn of the Angry and Inquisition (Burn With Me) are the best songs. I usually only listen to those as the songs besides those are kinda flat but I will listen to a few of the others some time. The good songs have great grooves instead of just flurries of notes, pounding drums, Vincent's growls are spot on and the Trey's solos have to be heard to be believed. If you want to hear some other really good (and even better) death metal, listen to Bolt Thrower's ...For Victory, Suffocation's Pierced from Within and Nile's Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka and Black Seeds of Vengeance. I've yet to hear any other death metal band surpass those albums. -- Markendust
I stopped listening to Morbid Angel after Covenant came out, but Altars of Madness and Blessed are the Sick remain two of my favorite albums. I say get those, and if you like them, try Abominations of Desolation, since that album has early versions of songs from AoM and BatS. --SHODAN 20:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Album sales
Where did someone get their album sales from? Theres no way they have sold near 3 million records in the US.
I agreen that that info seems highly suspect. I believe Deicide and Cannibal Corpse have outsold Morbid Angel and I don't think either of them have sold more then 3 million
It doesn't say "in the U.s.", those are worldwide sales figures. That said, yeah, there's no way they've sold that many.
OK those figures are PATENTLY FALSE source: [1]. It's still kind of interesting that Covenant is the bestseliign death metal album though.
That is just in the US. Its not probable but still possible they have sales around three mill.
But it is more then likely their sales are at least in the millions worldwide. Especially given the fact that Altar of madness was released before soundscan and that soundscan generally does not cover independant stores (ie metal/death metal specialty shops).

Erik Rutan?
this article says Erik Rutan left Morbid Angel in 2003, yet he played guitar for Morbid Angel at the Wacken Open Air festival 2006, on the 5th August 2006.... thus suggesting he has rejoined Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel is awesome!!!
He's temporarily filling in for them on some live dates. I don't think he's rejoined the band, at least not officially [2]
ah, jobs a good'un, thanks for clearing that up.
Ignominious DO NOT ADD it is an internet bootleg
This is not an actual Morbid Angel release and has been posted on the internet on a Bit Torrent site with cover art to make it seem real but it is fake. Do NOT add it to the page. Thank you
