MORBID ANGEL Illud Divinum Insanus Ltd Ed CD Starpak(2011)

In 2011, Morbid Angel dropped Illud Divinum Insanus and the internet lost its mind. Dance beats, industrial textures, and nearly two decades since Covenant, it was always going to be divisive. Time, as it tends to, has been kinder to it than the original discourse was.

Love it or hate it, this is a document of one of death metal's founding acts doing whatever the hell they wanted, legacy be damned. Trey Azagthoth's guitar work remains genuinely alien, and for collectors of extreme metal history, this limited edition steel case Starpak pressing is the version worth owning. It's a physical artefact of one of metal's great controversies, sitting between Formulas Fatal to the Flesh and a synth sequencer, and refusing to apologise for either.
