Tyrants From The Abyss - A Tribute to MORBID ANGEL Compilation CD (2008)

Morbid Angel didn't just write death metal. They rewrote the rules of what the genre could be, and by the time Altars of Madness dropped in 1989, every serious death metal band on earth was taking notes. This 2008 tribute is the receipts.

Fourteen bands. Zero filler. The roster here reads like a who's who of extreme metal's most uncompromising acts: Behemoth, Krisiun, Vader, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Centurian, among others, each bringing their own ferocity to the Trey Azagthoth canon. This isn't a reverent, polished-up covers album. These are bands that clearly grew up worshipping at the same altar, and it shows in every blast beat and tremolo run. If you've ever argued about whether Covenant or Domination is the better record, this one's for you.

2008 release. Standard jewel case CD compilation featuring tracks from Zyklon, Luciferion, Vader, Infernal, Angelcorpse, Soulreaper, Centurian, Throne Aeon, In Aeternum, Excommunion, Diabolic, Divine Rapture, Krisiun, and Behemoth.
