I Am Morbid are an American death metal band formed in late 2016, by David Vincent (vocals/bass) and Tim Yeung (drums), both former members of Morbid Angel.[1]
History
[edit]In June 2015, both Vincent and Yeung both parted ways with Morbid Angel,[2][3] alongside guitarist Thor "Destructhor" Myhren.[4] The two subsequently formed I Am Morbid, named after a song from Illud Divinum Insanus.[5] The band was announced in December 2016, and originally featured guitarists Bill Hudson and Ira Black.[1] Vincent said that the band would only play music from early albums specifically Altars of Madness (1989), Blessed Are the Sick (1991) Covenant (1993) and Domination (1995).[1]
The band played their first show in Krasnodar, Russia on May 23, 2017,[6] finishing at the Alcatraz Metal Festival 2017, replacing Morbid Angel who had cancelled their European tour dates.[7] In 2021, Yeung and Black were replaced by Pete Sandoval (also ex-Morbid Angel) and Kelly McLauchlin.[8] McLauchlin left in October 2022, he was replaced by Richie Brown.[9]
The band are yet to release an album although Vincent has said that the band might begin recording.[10]
