We recently ranked the 50 best albums of 1989, will Morbid Angel’s Altars Of Madness coming in at a solid number four. While the band eventually grew into a Lovecraftian beast that took death metal to new places, it was their debut that gave the world Morbid Angel at its rawest. For 10 crushing tracks, Altars Of Madness thunders forth with the kind of enthusiastic horror-fueled death metal that feels like the genre distilled down to its purest form. At the same time, there’s a wildness to Morbid Angel’s sound present even on Altars -- a squirming, unholy sense of derangement layered atop its more traditionally-spooky moments -- that makes the Floridan quartet more than just a blastbeat factory. The result is about as killer a death metal record as you can find before the genre’s explosion in the ’90s.
