Morbid Angel – Gateways To Annihilation (2000)

January 7, 2023

Gateways is some brutal shit. Like Formulas… but turned up to 11. The groove on Domination? My brother in Christ, it is long gone (well, almost). Steve Tucker’s second record with the group saw the guys doubling down on the heaviness, and on the speed. Pete The Feet’s blasts here are ridiculously good.

Despite how good his technique is, the drums feel a little quiet, but I think it’s due to the insane technical nature of the playing (of the whole band), and the lack of triggers where usually there would be on a record such as this. Mad props for that.
